GPL under Linux - does it really work now?

GPL under Linux - an impossible dream? Maybe not - I just came across this on the Codeweavers[1] site: "Very realistic driving simulation of the formula 1 in the year 1967. Due its marvelous community it still gets fan updates nowadays. The game works in OpenGL mode - but the network does not work. You have to start the application with absolute path and have to set a "Desktop=..." entry in the wine config file, if the window does not get the focus. Works since Wine 20020411". http://appdb.codeweavers.com/appview.php?appId=814&versionId=1080 Has anyone got this to work, and if so is it playable? [1] They do a version of Wine, a package for Linux that allows Windows programs to be run[2] [2] Well, not some of the really complicated ones[3] [3] Like Notepad. -- England 1 Argentina 0!

I don't think I'll be trying it out for a while, though, as the net code is the big thing, and in any case I haven't got a proper modem that works (my US Robotics "winmodem" is fine for GPL - s'pose I'm just lucky <g>). -- England 1 Argentina 0!

I couldn't get it to work: fixme:win32:DEVICE_Open Unknown/unsupported VxD PAPYCPU. Try --winver nt40 or win31 ! Wine failed with return code 1 I guess there are quite a few racers who would like to get this thing working. -- <[email hidden]=@X@[email hidden]=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-> < Tero Turtiainen | Yes Sir, may I lick your boots or do your Highness > < turtiain at iki.fi | use dry cleaning? - Stone > <-=-=-=-=- @ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-> NOTE: When replying, make the obvious change to my email-address. spam@sucks

Did you try --winver nt40 or --winver win31? >Wine failed with return code 1 Wine never failed me yet. ;-) Ruud van Gaal Free car sim: http://www.racer.nl/ Pencil art : http://www.marketgraph.nl/gallery/

Of course I did :) And the result is same, "did you try --winver..." >>Wine failed with return code 1 > >Wine never failed me yet. ;-) Well, I prefer beer... ;) -- <[email hidden]=@X@[email hidden]=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-> < Tero Turtiainen | Yes Sir, may I lick your boots or do your Highness > < turtiain at iki.fi | use dry cleaning? - Stone > <-=-=-=-=- @ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-> NOTE: When replying, make the obvious change to my email-address. spam@sucks
