TopoFusion on other OS - Mac / Linux / Running on linux
« on: January 02, 2012, 06:26:33 PM »
I'm trying to get topofusion running on my linux box (ubuntu 10.04). I found 1 post here from about 1 yr ago where some guy had it working, but no tips on how to get it working. I found this which showed how to install directX, but it was about 3 yrs old:

I followed those instructions, but got some errors, after some googling I found this, which said DO NOT DO IT THAT WAY:

"8.1. Does Wine support DirectX? Can I install Microsoft's DirectX under Wine?
Wine itself provides a DirectX implementation that, although it has a few bugs left, should run fine. Wine supports DirectX 9.0c at this time. Plans for DirectX 10 are underway.
/!\ If you attempt to install Microsoft's DirectX, you will run into problems. It is not recommended nor supported by Wine HQ to attempt this... "
So I uninstalled wine & directX & started over. Got much further this time, it was still needing at least 1 dll, (err:module:import_dll Library MSVBVM60.DLL (which is needed by L"C:\\windows\\system32\\COMCT332.OCX") not found). So, based on another web suggestion I used winetricks to get past that:
winetricks vcrun6 vb6run
That got me further, but now when I try to run topofusion I get this error:
"Can't initialize DirectX: Couldn't load 'point' tga"
Any ideas out there?
