For ATI users. I believe if you do a search for "fglrx" you'll find the ati drivers.

been trying to get it to work on my laptop. so far the installation is running smoothly except for needing ATI drivers. atm when eve lauches it complains that i only have directx 8.2. Trying to convert the install for ati is fun though. /me bangs head against wall

Also noticed that libasound2-dev is already installed on my installation.

Go to: System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager
Go under "Settings -> Repositories" and activate all boxes in the "Ubuntu 6.10" tab. Now go to the "Third Party" tab, and click "Add"

Type: "Source"
URL: "http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt"
Distributions: "edgy"
Components: "main"

And press OK. Now Close. Now follow the nice hint from Synaptic and press "Refresh".

I can't get it to work with the 64bits Edgy Eft, can't compile wine due too the 32bit lybraries of windows. Could you make a (32bi) deb file out of your installation and put it somewhere for us to download?
Thanks

I just ran the ./configure command and it seemingly went smoothly. So I then ran the make depend && make command and it runs for about 30seconds then stops with the error:

ln: creating symbolic link `wine' to `./tools/winewrapper': Permission denied
make: *** [wine] Error 1

Any clues? I really want this to work

this problem happened also to me, but fortunatly solved .

instead to use the "sudo" command, compile the wine source and install as root ( on console command "su" then root-password ).

Originally by: Egor Roy

OK. I read up about setting a 'root' password. man I am confused, but I managed to do this and rerun the make and depend blah blah command again and it got further this time, stopping with a bunch of errors:

../../include/winnls.h:758: warning: `__stdcall__' attribute ignored

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/atom/UbuntTemp/wine-0.9.24~winehq0~ubuntu~6.10/libs'

This is a snippet.

So, what I want to ask is has anyone got this to work on the 64bit version of edgy? If not, how do I completely remove this OS so I may reinstall the non-64bit version?

Got it working following the instructions how to compile wine on 64bits but the performance is rather sluggish compared to cedega.Maybe I lack some optimizations or settings.
My system is a AMD Dual Core 4600+ 2GB ram with a Nvidia 6600 256MB.
On windows I get 60-70fps with no AA.
On cedega I get 20-40 fps also with no AA.
On wine I get 5-20 fps...
I play with all effects on in 1680x1050.
Thanks

The hardest thing for me to work out under Ubuntu Edgy was that the latest GCC compiler doesn't work with Wine, so if you run wine and get: 'Segmentation fault (core dumped)' this is the reason. :D

I just tried this howto with Gentoo and it works pretty well.

My specs are: AMD 3800+ X2, Nvidia 6800GS, SBlive 5.1 (Alsa).

I am using x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-4.1.1 for gcc and applied elfe's patch on wine 0.9.25. I have played 4 hours now and havent experienced any graphic errors. Although escrow took some time to load and I am only getting 25 fps but thats ok.

Finally I can remove my windows partition :)

For the interested:

1. Create an Portage Overlay

mkdir -p /usr/local/portage/app-emulation/wine
cp -r /usr/portage/app-emulation/wine/* /usr/local/portage/app-emulation/winel/portage/app-emulation/wine
echo PORTDIR_OVERLAY=\"/usr/local/portage/\" >> /etc/make.conf

2. Place the patch in the files directory of the overlay and add the patch to the ebuild:

wget http://elfe.mine.nu/eve/linux/eve-2006-11-05.diff

Place patch line in the src_unpack section:

epatch "${FILESDIR}"/eve-2006-11-05.diff #Eve Patch

3. Make the digest and emerge (in your overlay directory)

ebuild wine-0.9.25.ebuild digest
emerge -v wine-0.9.25.ebuild

Have fun :)

could you try to get the values from the char selection screen? (via the CTRL+ALT+m window) this should deliver a more constant fps number

could you try to start you kernel with the "nosmp" option to see if there is a problem with wine/Eve on dual cores?

which version of gcc isn't working for wine?

5 ) Turn sourcecode into Wine!
Create a new directory in you home. Navigate into the directory and run the following command in a terminal:
"sudo apt-get source wine"

This takes a short while, as apt-get is downloading the source code. A directory "wine-0.9.24~winehq0~ubuntu~6.10" should appear. Copy "eve-2006-10-20.diff" into it. Change into the directory and run the following command:
"patch -p1 < eve-2006-10-20.diff"
This applies Elfe`s Awesome Wine Patch (TM) to the wine source code. Without it, if you try to start eve, you will get only a black box in the middle of the desktop.

Now install the following library via Synaptic:
"libasound2-dev"

If you are running debian, skip the following:
Something is ... "funny" with the gcc 4.1 that comes with Ubuntu 6.10. If you would compile the patched source code with it, you would only get "segmentation faults" from the wine preloader. You don't want that, don't you? So we have to install an older version:
In a terminal, run: "sudo apt-get install gcc-3.4"
Now run:
"export CC=gcc-3.4"
and then:
"export CXX=g++-3.4"

Now we have to compile wine. To do this run the following commands:
./configure
The configure script will tell you if any libraries are missing. You have to install them via Synaptic.
If everything runs smooth, run the command:
"make depend && make"
Now get a cup of tea. On my machine it took around 10 minutes to finish.
After the compilation is successful, run:
"sudo make install"
Grats, you just installed wine.

6 ) Configuring Wine, Installing Eve.

Run: "winecfg" and open the "Audio" tab. Choose "ALSA" (OSS is fine, too)
Close it with "OK".

Im running gentoo linux and have installed wine with the patch and can see the login screen, type in my password, it auths, gets the data etc but as soon it is supposed to launch the eve window(with char selection) it stops. Have any of you encountered similiar problem and solved it? or do you guys have a good idea how to solve this problem anyway?

Ok I've got Ubuntu running, and I've read through the entire thread. While it's great that CCP is working on a linux version of Eve, I'm impatient, and bolstered by others' success I'm soldiering on.

My first stumbling block is that when I go here

http://www.winehq.com/site/download-deb

for the Wine source code, and then follow the instructions, the version of Wine that I get is 0.9.22. The directory to apply the patch does not exist, and that's where I am stuck. How are you guys getting 0.9.26?

*EDIT

I found it by clicking the link on the bottom of that page:

http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/archive/index.html

However, I'm currently compiling (I think--it's all greek to me) the .22 version and I don't want to interrupt that so trying out the newest version will have to wait.

Thanks.

Ok, so I got further - I guess there's a problem with 0.9.26. I compiled 0.9.25 and it runs fine (to the login screen anyway - it's downtime at the moment :P)

Can you briefly list what you did, if it's not too much trouble? Did you have to install Nvidia's proprietary drivers (if you're using Nvidia anyway)?

Thanks!

With wine progressing with speed toward playability, as well as CCP's vocal support for Transgaming, as well as the cider implementation for the client for MACs, we are in a position of wealth regarding choice rarely seen in the open source world regarding commercial gaming.

When you say you got it working +patch, what patch are you refering to? I've just installed Wine via Automatix (latest version) and now I'm d/l the Eve client. Please can you clarify the patch you mentioned? thx.

EDIT**

Ok, I installed Wine .28, and then got the latest EVE client, and ran

sudo wine EVE_Setup_27912.exe

Installed fine. Ran it like this:

sudo wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/CCP/EVE/EVE.exe

but it came up with a d3dx9_30.dll missing error. I downloaded that and copied it to the system32 folder in Wine, then ran winecfg and typed d3dx9_30.dll in the libriaries and ran the program again.

It loaded up to the login page! Woot! Then Eve asked me to download the latest patch (3mb I think) and that worked fine. Then I reran Eve, but it wouldn't let me type in the text boxes--every time I tried to type in my name and pw, the text ended up in the terminal window. No sweat, I copy/pasted them into their appropriate boxes. Took a little while to acquire bulk data, then it ran!

Only thing is that it only occupied about the bottom right hand 1/4 of the screen and I couldn't see any of the menus. I ended up having restart Ubuntu to get back to a normal desktop... So that's where i'm at right now. GL anyone else who tries :)

I have a fairly simple question for you Linux users.

Is this something that someone who is new to Linux would be able to do?

I am an experienced PC user but would be a complete Linux newbie. (running make files and using vi as a programmer doesn't count as Unix/Linux experience) I am getting tired of M$ and the silliness that is going on and would very much like to completely move to Linux. But I can't do without my EVE. I am not a fan of dual boots, and would rather go all in rather than sitting on the fence. I would just like to ask this before I end up with a semi functional system, a headache and simply have to go back to XP.
Thanks in advance.

Sadly, I can confirm that this is indeed the case. Enabling trace suggests that wine gets the keystrokes alright, but the password field just won't accept them. Setting password in prefs.ini doesn't help either...

Hi,

Currently installing ubuntu 7.04 and have created 4 partitions on a 250gig drive. I have 4 partitions: Linux, swap, ntfs, and ext3. I have a few questions:

1) How does one install eve on a linux system? I've never done this before.

and

2) if it is not possible, do I have to copy the game from my windows xp system to the new linux harddrive?

any help is appreciated and i'll have a few questions coming soon.

i was trying it out on cedega with ubuntu but the performance was poor. On windows i can run two EVE clients and something else at the same time without performace issues but on linux its so slow even with one client, in serious npc combat its 5-15fps - hardly useable. And this is on a new dual core machine with latest nvidia driver.

You can push the graphical quality slider on nv control panel to lower setting, it gets a bit faster but then you get a lot of graphical glitches.

I thought that ill keep dual boot with windows just for eve, but since eve runs whenever the pc is on its not worth it.

For now ill keep windows just because of eve.

I've managed to get EVE working under Ubuntu Feisty Fawn with Wine 0.9.36.
No compiles or anything. Had to copy arial.ttf over, that's all.


I've noticed that if you use Beryl, the Gnome bars show up over the fullscreen window. That's easily fixed by using the Beryl icon menu to change the window manager to Metacity. You won't need that 3D desktop while you're playing EVE fullscreen anyway.
