macguy67 Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 I'm having a problem where I try and run the game on Wine, and it spews out this error message:FATAL[..\src\openrct2.c:140 (openrct2_initialise)]: Could not create user directory (do you have write access to your documents folder?)Can somebody help me with this?
Broxzier Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 I assume you're running the launcher on Linux. Wine is a something to run Windows programs on Linux, right? I don't know much about Linux (only had to use it a few times), but you probably don't need it, because OpenRCT2 can be build on Linux too. I don't know if there's a program like the launcher that checks for updates though.
macguy67 Posted November 9, 2015 Author Posted November 9, 2015 Yes, Wine is something that you use to launch Windows programs.
Broxzier Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 Just looked it up, and there's no native support for Linux yet. You can play is using Wine though, check this: https://openrct2.com/wine-infoYou'll have to manually update now and then to get the latest features.
Gymnasiast Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 OpenRCT2 is available for Linux. You'd have to build it yourself though, or I can provide you with a copy.
macguy67 Posted November 10, 2015 Author Posted November 10, 2015 Gymnasiast, can you provide me a copy? Because firstly, I'm too lazy to compile, and secondly, I'm not sure if the compilation will work or not. My system is Lubuntu 13.10 32-bit.
macguy67 Posted November 14, 2015 Author Posted November 14, 2015 another bump. this is taking too long.
Broxzier Posted November 14, 2015 Posted November 14, 2015 Saying you're lazy to let someone else do your work isn't nice. Don't expect help for being rude.
macguy67 Posted November 18, 2015 Author Posted November 18, 2015 I'm just making preps for upgrading to Lubuntu 14.04 to compile it, Brox. That's why I said it was taking too long. Apparently it needs some packages, specifically SDL packages to be installed, or can I install them without upgrading?
