SkyDemon on Linux (Ubuntu)

- Install winetricks and wine
sudo apt-get install winetricks
(this will also install wine as a dependancy)
- even though the above command installed winetricks, replace it with the newest version as download url's might have changed etc:
sudo wget http://winetricks.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/src/winetricks -O /usr/bin/winetricks
- if you are running a 64bit Ubuntu version you must install the 32bit libraries needed to run wine in 32bit mode first:
cd /tmp/ wget https://raw.github.com/spaetzlecode/getlibs/master/getlibs sudo chown root:root getlibs sudo chmod +x getlibs sudo mv -n getlibs /usr/local/bin sudo /usr/local/bin/getlibs -p gnome-keyring:i386 sudo mkdir -p /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/pkcs11/ sudo ln -s /usr/lib32/i386-linux-gnu/pkcs11/gnome-keyring-pkcs11.so /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/pkcs11/gnome-keyring-pkcs11.so
- if you are running a 64bit Linux, create a wine 32 bit prefix. i had some problems when i created a second prefix with 32bit.. since i don't need a 64 bit prefix anyway, i simply delted my .wine directory first
rm -rf /home/username/.wine
, and then recreated a 32bit prefix in .wine. (don't copy/paste, replace username with your user home directory name and use a direcotry other than .wine if .wine still exists and you want to keep your 64bit prefix. the directory must not exist yet!):
WINEPREFIX='/home/username/.wine' WINEARCH='win32' wine 'wineboot'
- run
winecfg
and simply click OK when it pops up
- run
winetricks dotnet30sp1
and follow the instructions (download the dotnet stuff and copy it to the folder they say.
- now re-run the command
winetricks dotnet30sp1
which will now install dotnet 2.0. it will then ask you to download yet another file and place it in a folder it created for you. do just that and re-run
winetricks dotnet30sp1
- run
winetricks gdiplus
