I’m curious if anyone has had any success getting any version of the 8.5 beta running under WINE.
I’ve using OpenSUSE 12.1 64-bit using the build service version of WINE from 1.4.6 to 1.5.6 (it seems to have a new version every couple of weeks there and I’ve tried after every update using both 32-bit and 64-bit prefixes).
I’ve had partial success getting C8.1 32-bit to run. But all of the version of 8.5 bomb out with MSC++ runtime errors. This is using both builtin and native libraries, and both installing the libraries before the installer or letting the Carrara installer do all the work. I’ve also tried with and without emulating a virtual desktop.
I haven’t been able to find anything via numerous searches and was curious if anyone had notes I could follow.
Thanks.

I run Carrara 8.5 under Wine everyday, and have been for quite some time. I successfully run it under Fedora 13-16 and Ubuntu. Only the 32 bit version works, but it works very well. You must turn off the spooling textures to disk or it’ll constantly crash. You must have a working OpenGL environment. If you’re using the proprietary nVidia or ATI drivers your likelyhood of failure is high. The OSS video drivers + Mesa are your best bet.
EDIT: I’ve been working with RichardH on getting a sticky set up for getting DAZ software running under Linux. For obvious reasons, we’ve not moved forward since the migration. Now that things are more stable I hope to have the latest revisions to Richard for approval in the next day or so.
Anybody heard from Spooky?
If he has posted - I missed them.
He (She?) was always good about keeping us up to speed on the next release - which I hope is out soon. (hate using that word around here!)
