| Although not officially supported by CRS, several players have taken it upon themselves to try to run Battleground Europe on a Linux platform.

| With the new 1.33 release, and the updates to Wine over the last 2.5 years, it's time to update that post. However, given that it was edited by a Rat (presumably to sticky it), I no longer have the ability to modify it.
| |
|
| |
| As it currently stands, the game is very close to running perfectly in vanilla wine. Unfortunately, there is still a persistent mouse problem. Luckily, at this point there is a patch that hopefully will go into Wine within a few releases that will fix this.
| |
| ==1. Download the source code and patch it==
| |
|
| |
| *(Easy way): Download my pre-patched Wine 1.3.15 source, and extract it.
| |
| *(Advanced way): If you are comfortable with Git, check out the latest copy of the Wine source code, then apply the latest patch from http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6971
| |
|
| |
| ==2. Install the build dependencies==
| |
|
| |
| Depending on your distribution, the exact packages you need to install to compile wine may differ. Please reference the Wine Recommended Packages page to get a list of packages you have to install for your distribution before compiling Wine.
| |
|
| |
| For Ubuntu, Fedora, & SuSE, the easiest way to do this is to download and run http://winezeug.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/install-wine-deps.sh as root (e.g. with sudo). Right-click on the link and (save link as).
| |
|
| |
| To run it use:
| |
|
| |
| *$ sudo sh ./install-wine-deps.sh
| |
|
| |
| ==3. Compile the source==
| |
|
| |
| Once you've installed the build dependencies you need, you're ready to compile the package. In the terminal window, after having navigated to the extracted source code, run the following commands:
| |
|
| |
| *$ ./configure
| |
| *$ make
| |
| *<nowiki># make install</nowiki>
| |
|
| |
| The last command requires root privileges. Although you should never run Wine as root, you will need to install it this way.
| |
|
| |
| ==4. Install Battleground Europe and enjoy!==
| |
|
| |
| As the title says, just download and install the game. Happy hunting, and let me know how it goes.
