Knightshift v1.3 Installed fine not starting

[debianine]

I am running Debian 9 with Gnome DE. The version of WINE I have is 1.8.7-2. (from the stable repositories)

This is what I get when I try to run knightshift.exe from the terminal:

Code: Select all

Currently supported versions of Wine are: 3.0 (Stable) and 3.6 (Development or Staging).
See: WineHQ Download: Debian.
Please upgrade or learn to live with the issues you've got...

OK working on getting the version available from git. How do I enable multi-arch(32bit) support. That is not in the git installation howto.

[debianine]

I get

Code: Select all

configure: error: Cannot build a 32-bit program, you need to install 32-bit development libraries.

apt-get install multiarch-support returns that I already have the package

Why isn't it recognizing the requirement is met when I run ./configure?

[debianine]

this is the whole process from the first no on down

See: WineHQ Download: Debian.

That is a link to a Wiki page describing how to install the WineHQ Debian binary packages...
So why are you trying to compile Wine from Source?

It wasn't clear in the instructions for the git method that the package would have to be compiled from source. I think y'all should update some of your installation guides.

I was able to install WINE stable from the Debian Stretch repository. What puzzled me at first was that they are called "binary" packages. That is what led me to try git as I was not sure I would know what to do with a "binary" package.

Removal of the uncompiled data I got from git was simple. It just required

Code: Select all

rm -r ~/wine && rm -r ~/.wine

. From there I was able to install WINE version 3 without too much trouble, and the game works!

I think the guide should also include how to edit your /etc/apt/sources.list file for those who are unsure how to use gedit, vi, nano, etc. Also in the guide for Debian it makes use of sudo, this should be changed as I am pretty sure most of us use a root prompt in terminal rather than sudo.

Another thing is that it doesn't mention that you should run winecfg prior to installing any programs. I ran winecfg as root by mistake to begin with. Hopefully this didn't damage anything. I guess I opted out of installing mono and gecko. What are they for anyway?

Well now that the game works, I reckon it's time to get cheat engine and make my character incredibly OP
