Guest Posted September 2, 2003 Posted September 2, 2003 I've got VC working pretty damned well under linux, I was wondering if anyone else has tried the MTA:VC under WineX ?? I might give it a go and tell yas what I've found..
Scorpion_Blood Posted September 2, 2003 Posted September 2, 2003 i dont know never tested that anyway i dotn liek running windows software under linux, so no winex here =)
Gussi Posted September 2, 2003 Posted September 2, 2003 I don't want no Win* in my linx... it's creepy
ijsf Posted September 2, 2003 Posted September 2, 2003 just tried it with a newer version of MTA:VC with WineX 2, WineX 3 without libraries and older version, and WineX 3 newest version with all libraries included and it didn't even show up
Gun-Nut Posted September 2, 2003 Posted September 2, 2003 i just got linux and downloaded winex but how do i install i have a .rmp ?
me Posted September 2, 2003 Posted September 2, 2003 an RPM is a package... it's just an easier way to install things for the unknowledgable try: rpm -ivh whateverthepackageiscalled.rpm
Mercenary Posted September 2, 2003 Posted September 2, 2003 I've tried getting Vice City running myself. However, I've had no luck with MTA. Maybe somewhere down the line, support for this can be provided?
b0b0 Posted September 4, 2003 Posted September 4, 2003 I have WineX 3.1, and it has Vice City support. I have not tried MTA yet. Besides, my GTA installation is on my windows drive. This makes it difficult because my WineX "c_drive" is labeled as C:. Who needs rpm when Gentoo can emerge it all for you Please note: Make sure your specific video card drivers are updated to the latest version. I had trouble running my games because I had the old "nv" driver installed instead of the new "nvidia" driver with OpenGL support.
ijsf Posted September 5, 2003 Posted September 5, 2003 exactly, /me is a proud Gentoo user anyways, if you want help how to install stuff on Redhat or whatever, try http://www.google.com if you want to run MTA, just run it in Windows..
b0b0 Posted September 5, 2003 Posted September 5, 2003 The problem with rpm remains to be dependencies. The thing that makes Gentoo the best is its emerging system. When you install a new program, it automatically retrieves all of its dependencies for you; this saves time. Also, the emerging system always works. I have never had an emerge fail. You can easily upgrade any software with emerge as well. It is a very clever system, better than the "ports" system that comes with FreeBSD. The Gentoo emerge system has support for almost every single program anyone has ever heard of, so you can easily install any program you want, with the use of a very simple command I like the fact that Gentoo's make.conf lets you specify the specific processor you have. That's cool As for SuSE, I used it before installing Gentoo. It was very easy to use, perfect for the introduction to linux. Once I learned more about linux (Setting up my BSD gateway, running someone else's half-life servers which are on a Redhat machine, plus installing SuSE), I switched to Gentoo. Still use it, still love it. It always works. rant> :shock:
