Thread: Will someone help me compile this and why doesn't this work on wine?

this was developed for windows, using .NET & directX
good luck trying to run it on *nix
It's going to be very painful

a quick look around shows he's palmed off the linux & mac ports to someone else

Mac/Linux Versions: Due to personal time contraints, I've had to hand off Mac and linux development to other members of the Source Forge Project - Wiimote Whiteboard. Check there if a release has been made.

an alpha version of that linux whiteboard thing is here
(written in python)
http://wiiwhiteboard.cvs.sourceforge.../source/linux/

Actually, I've gotten the whiteboard working very well on linux... the problem I had was getting the head tracking working, which is different.

I don't believe WINE has any .NET support as of yet. Nor will you be able to compile windows-specific stuff like that under linux.

Your best bet: Install virtualbox and create a windows install (if you don't have access to a local windows host somehow).

I stand corrected - looks like they DO have .NET, but it's definitely in its infancy

Isn't there an Linux equivalent to Parallels? I thought that they actually had it first. I know that it requires a working copy of Windows, but if you're using .NET then you obviously have one.

yes, several
but graphics acceleration may be an issue

Who makes the one for the Mac (the non-Apple one?) They support graphics acceleration, I'm sure that there are ones for Linux that can do it too.

I think VMware does
but I've never used it personally
(I'm a VirtualBox guy )

ninja9578, VirtualBox is virtually (hahaha...) the same as Parallels and VMware, minus the restrictive license and the $80/£45 price tag. QEMU might be slightly faster, but the kqemu accelerator module (which btw was GPL'ed a month after VirtualBox's release last year) doesn't run on Mac OS X to my knowledge.

Doesn't matter to me, I have a PPC Mac anyway so I can't use Parallels.

Sorry but I must point out that seeing someone ask someone to "Help them compile", at first glance, seemed to me like a man asking another to "Help himm take a piss".

Rather funny.

Thought I would share.

I fail to see the connection

Yeah, that was a rather... odd comment.

Well in order to "help someone compile" really you'd need to go ever to their computer and help them click the button

Err, what? I was asking if someone was willing to package the software into something that I can then "just click" to install and put that package on the internet.

Again, it was just something that I thought. And I thought it wuz kinda lulz-e.

All you have to do is download the latest Wine source code, untar it (tar xjf thedownloadedfilename.tar.bz2), cd into the newly formed directory, compile (probably ./configure && make depend && make), and install as root (make install).
