Hello buddies.

I use windows only for GPL... and I really would like to move GPL to linux and racing online from here. I installed GPL in Archlinux (the distro I use) without problems, but I still can't execute GEM in order to adjust rasterisers and general configuration of the GPL.

Is there anybody racing in some league under linux? I would appreciate very much if somebody can give me some clues to install the needed software to race online (gem, vroc) and to improve frame rates (all, obviously using (not drinking ) wine).

Cheers, and thanks in advance.

Marcos.

I remember some people did manage to get GPL running on Linux. It also runs on CrossOver for Mac (commercial Wine derivative), the only thing definitely not working rite atm was the USB input (=wheel), last time I checked.

As for details... Google is your friend, since I think so little number of people run it on Linux that you'd only have some experiences from individuals scattered across the Net to learn from. Afaik no-one is running it in this configuration here, at the moment. Could be wrong though.

Regards, Rudy

any results running GEM under WINE?
GPL, IGOR works (running a dedicated server via IGOR) but GEM does not run.
I get the "initialize" window, can select the language and then its gone without any error message.
So i can not create the mod-exe.

I didn't tried again. Until I remember I also could not run GEM...

next try: Ubuntu latest release, Gnome desktop and wine.
I have GPL and GPLsecrets installed under Windows on second HDD (Windows drive letter G) and wanted to use these installs directly under Wine, by mounting drive G as drive G for "Windows". Gem+ crashed!
I installed GPL Secrets under wine into "Drive C" and it works!
So i started GEM from drive G and it works, too

So some dll were missing, corrected by installing.

My GEM is working now. I did the same than Frank said.

I did not try my wheel yet...

Cheers, Marcos.
