Title: Linux-WINE and AH
Post by: Magic on September 09, 2001, 10:52:00 AM

I was wondering if anyone has tried running AH on a Linux box using the Windows(tm) emulator WINE?

Regards,

Not yet that I know of.  The DirectX API isn't complete enough for AH to run.  I have gotten WB to boot up before but not AH.  And AH will shut down when on a linux partition.  Guess it is hacker protection  :)
I can't wait for the Dx in WINE to get good enough for me to run in linux.. I would be able to get rid of that windows partition forever.. well almost at least I would spend less time in windows for sure!
If you have been to the WINE page lately there is a link to the group doing the Dx api for WINE.  Follow the link and sign the list.  Without support they won't release the code.  

S!
