You don't normally "port" apps to Wine. Wine runs Windows programs as if
they were being run on Windows itself. (Then again, you can build a
"Winelib" version of a Windows app, if you have the source.)

I see two things you may have meant by that question:

- Is the Wine project planning to support Global Agenda?
Yes and no. The goal of the Wine project is to support running all--or
most--Windows programs on Linux, Mac OS X, BSD, etc. We tend not to
focus on particular apps, though. It's true that developers and users
often have certain apps in mind, but for the most part, Wine is designed
to generally run Windows apps.

If you want to know if Wine supports running this app, try looking in
the Application Database (http://appdb.winehq.org ). If it's not there,
try running it yourself and posting the results there.

- Do the makers of Global Agenda plan to support Wine?
Probably not. But this is a question for whoever makes the program. And,
you never know.

I tried it last night from steam (no previous steam set up on the computer)
and was able to do the download and install just fine. It fell over at start up
with the MS dotNET stuff. I'm going to keep trying and see what I can find to
make that happy.

Sorry, I meant the question as "Is wine planning on supporting Global Agenda?"

But, I will try and install it from the disc when it releases on Feb 1st.

This means usually means you need to install dotnet in a clean prefix with winetricks before the app does.

@love2hate

What version of Wine were you using in that test of yours? You got a lot further than I was able to when trying to run Global Agenda. Most I get is the splash screen and then it dies.

[love2hate]

wine.1.1.18 .... 1.1.38
But strange game don't launch without compyz or kwin'effect
Window's game need focus or wine crash ( for me )

I followed the guide completly , mounted d3dx10_39.dll in system 32 .
But it complaints that it coudnt read it in terminal . The game wouldnt start . I use ubuntu 9.10 64 bit . 9500 nvidia .

@Davvvve

I've had that problem before with some Steam games. You might just try dropping a copy of d3dx10_39.dll in your Steam install dir.

[Davvvve]

Ill try that later when im arriving from work .

[Davvvve]

It didnt work . Followed the guide on appDB .

Does Global Agenda work with the latest patch =?
