Debian AMD64 cannot run DF
« on: December 30, 2008, 08:31:31 pm »
I read in the new version discussion that someone got this to run on Debian AMD64, but I'm not able to. I've gotten all the libraries to be seen (via ldd -v on dwarfort.exe, and all libs are in /emul/ia32-linux/libs)), BUT for glibc. Debian Etch only comes with version 2.3.6, and cannot get 2.4 or higher unless I upgrade to Lenny unstable. I suppose I could compile that version manually, but I  don't want to break something by making a mistake.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to deal with this? I've got it running on my Ubuntu 8.10 box, but my Debian Etch system has quite a bit more CPU power to it.

If you mean one of the 40dX re-releases (where X is a number), you should post about it in this thread: http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=28841.0

It seems unlikely that DF will ever work on that OS out of the box, but you could try downloading a binary version of glibc (from lenny, say), and unpack the relevant .so file in <df>/libs/, where it'll override the system-wide one.

Probably you'll end up chasing dependencies, but that's life on debian stable. Good luck. :P

That was me... and I'm running 64 bit Lenny (test/unstable) with ia32-lib, and the manually extracted SDL-image file placed in the same folder as the Dwarf Fortress binary.  (I was too lazy to sudo and make the links work... but it does work)

"Having faith" that the bridge will not fall, implies that the bridge itself isn't that trustworthy. It's not that different from "I pray that the bridge will hold my weight."
