How to get Starcraft to work in Wine?

[liMePod]

I mount the cd, then do this in rxvt:

#cd /mnt/hdc
#wine setup.exe
fixme:midi:OSS_MidiInit Synthesizer supports MIDI in. Not Yet supported
.
fixme:bitblt:X11DRV_BitBlt potential optimization - client-side DIB copy

#

it opens the wine desktop, flashes a window, plays half a second of music, then closes.

anyone know what the error means, and how to fix it?

thanks.

I don't know what your error means, but I have some helpful information.

I can play Starcraft in Puppy with Wine and the complete description of how I did it is here:

I had to use windows to install SC, then install wine, and SC is playable.

When I tried your steps as described above, I get an error:

Code: Select all

sh-3.00# wine setup.exe

      It will most likely crash. Please upgrade to a glibc with NPTL support.

Usage:

sh-3.00# 

So the fix may be to install SC through windows first... maybe that will work for you.
