I wasnt sure where to post this so i figured here is as good as any place, I understand this doesnt have a linux install, i am curious has anyone tried installing this in linux using wine? I tried it and all i could get running through wine is the script editor:) anyone else??

michael_schwarz.
i run linux as well, however, i prefer to develop windows games on a real windows platform (dual boot/boot manager).

you can always use 2 pc's at once.
use your linux for the sed and windows for med and wed

why would i/you want to do that? if you just want to script, you could use any OS. you will only need a text editor... maybe a c syntax highlighter.

i find it amazing people keep asking me why, ok ill tell you i got a hard drive here with bad sectors which windows wont install onto but i managed to get linux installed on this bad boy,, ok i know next question "what are you too cheap to buy a new hard drive" no im just plain broke, and trying to make things happen. thanks for all the wonderfull replies, i hope this answers all those curious questions of why what etc.

well, the way things normally go is:
- develop the game on windows
- publish/compile it
- try to get the compiled project running on linux

what does the console say when you try to start wed/sed? what GPU do you have?
ever tried VirtualBox? it's a virtual machine that can make you run windows in a window inside linux. it's slower of course, but a more complete solution than wine.

ps: you can get a 80GB hard drive for under $30.

the console doesnt give me anything when i start wed or med, it runs like it wants to then stops no error output,, i however have no problems with sed..
wow 80 gigs for 30 bucks, 80 gigs here cost 100 bucks lol ill be getting a new drive soon, finances are getting better, i found a 500 gig sata for my lappy for 150 $ so its just a matter of time:)
as far as my gpu its a nvidia go6150 ,, dual core amd 64 tl52 (1600) 1 gig ram
I never heard of virtual box ill have to search for that,,thanks for the advice

since you have a dual core processor, virtualisation should give you no trouble at all.

thanks a lot i actually found it last night after i read your post..and installed ... i gotta read the documentions now though, added myself to vbox group, but got soem other things to do..May i ask have you used Vbox before? it sure is a nice clean install.

well it seems Vbox doesnt like my gcc version
GCC 3.2.3 or later (except for the GCC 4.0.x series) lol
i use slamd64 and my gcc version is 4.1.2 lol
