Continuum On Linux - An Update

[Guest ContinuumOnLinux]

Well, http://wine.getcontinuum.com/ has been inaccurate in some ways for a bit now. I'd like to update folks on what I did to get it running on Gentoo, Wine 1.2.1, the current stable version in portage tree. These instructions should work on Wine 1.3.X series, at least currently.

 

The last version I could get the kernel32.dll.so to work was Wine 1.1.21, so a compile of the wine source is in order.

 

At the console:

 

cd /usr/portage/app-emulation/wine

 

Prepare the build environment:

 

ebuild wine-1.2.1.ebuild prepare

 

Now, move to the source directory

 

cd /var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/wine-1.2.1/work/wine-1.2.1

 

Edit this file /var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/wine-1.2.1/work/wine-1.2.1/kernel32/process.c b/dlls/kernel/process.c

and add this line in the appropriate place by searching:

 

if (access & PROCESS_VM_WRITE) return NULL;

 

 

OBJECT_ATTRIBUTES attr;

CLIENT_ID cid;

 

+if (access & PROCESS_VM_WRITE) return NULL;

cid.UniqueProcess = (HANDLE)id;

cid.UniqueThread = 0; /* FIXME ? */

 

Now that the file is fixed, we need to compile but we need to make sure Freetype support is not compiled as it will not compile with it enabled:

 

cd /usr/portage/app-emulation/wine

EXTRA_ECONF="--without-freetype" ebuild wine-1.2.1.ebuild configure

EXTRA_ECONF="--without-freetype" ebuild wine-1.2.1.ebuild compile

 

Provided the compile was clean and correct, now run:

 

ebuild wine-1.2.1.ebuild test

ebuild wine-1.2.1.ebuild preinst

ebuild wine-1.2.1.ebuild install

ebuild wine-1.2.1.ebuild postinst

ebuild wine-1.2.1.ebuild qmerge

 

Now it should be installed, run the Continuum setup:

 

wine Continuum040.exe

 

A link in the menu should now be present and you should be ready to go.

If you'd be willing to post as a regular user and tell me who you are, I might be willing to give you space to setup a site for information on such. GetContinuum's Wine page does need updating, but not sure where the guy who managed it has gone. Might be worth starting a section just for Continuum on other OSes like Linux and Mac.

Still no luck on Mint 12 with any of the how-to's i have followed if anyone else has been successful can you please help.

I'm able to contact the one who is hosting getcontinuum.com.

 

I think I can ask to modify wine.getcontinuum.com. Are the instructions above copy/pastable into wine.getcontinuum.com ? If no, is it possible to tell me exactly what needs to be modified?

Great to see some people updating some info for mac/linex etc. all the more people the better.

As i'm interested in running continum on a 27" mac. getting one for my wife and figured i'd play around with writing some apps doing some design on it. Want to see the 2500 resolution for the game as im still only getting 1920 on my pc/benq monitor.

 

 

If there was a resource on this sight i would use it for sure.

What we could really use is an up-to-date how to install on Ubuntu 12.XX using Wine. Ubuntu is really the Linux of choice these days in one form or another. I'm dual booting with Windows 7 and Mepis on one computer and Win7 and Xubuntu on another.

Yes I would please like to see how to get Continuum working with Ubuntu 12.04 and Wine 1.5.-10

I agree with Kyll

Worth checking this thread out, I've posted a build for wine 1.5.10 http://www.subspace.co/topic/26553-please-someone-update-continuum-40-for-linux-how-to/

This works for Ubuntu 12.04 and Wine 1.5-10, thank you.
