They have a native Linux version? Why running it under Wine?



The last I tried, it did not run on FreeBSD.

The 32-bit version crashes immediately after a failed mmap()

The 64-bit version has issues with nvidia GL libs that I didn't try to get past.

Wine just worked.

There has been some work recently with mmap and linux compat, so I will retry again when I have the chance..


Probably, FreeBSD.

Besides, last time I looked the native Linux version was still 32 bits only. KSP has many problems with 32 bits platforms.


They do have an x64 build as of about a year or so ago. Maybe even a bit longer than that.


The fact that Linux is not FreeBSD is still a major stumbling block for the idea that drewg123 should not use a compatibility shim and just run the Linux version, of whatever bitness, though. (-:


Understood, and agreed. :)


Well, even if drewg123 won't benefit from that, it's good to know that there is a 64 bit version for linux already. Thanks.
