No luck with Wine - Tomaaz - 02-05-2024
So, I've tried to run NaaLaa 7 on Linux, but didn't have much success. NED runs, but the text is overlapping. That wouldn't be a big problem (as I use Geany with everything), but more complex examples fail to compile an run due to some .dlls missing. I'm aware that NaaLaa is Windows only and the problems have more to do with Wine than NaaLaa itself, but I wonder why much more complex applications run under Wine and NaaLaa doesn't.

Tomaaz,
I think your "text" problem is microsoft related....
sudo apt install ttf-mscorefonts-installer -y
Will install microsofts core fonts and should take care of your "overlapping" text...

Thanx, Johno! Unfortunately, this is the smaller of the two problems. Of course, I'm not requesting (or even expecting) NaaLaa to work on Linux. I'm just courious why it doesn't. Do all the examples work properly on your machine?

So far all of N7 runs fine on my machine. I am running with Linux Mint 21.2 Cinnamon. The only issues that I seem to have with N7 programs... is me... Still learning... I have N6 installed as well. Have you tried N6 via Wine?
RE: No luck with Wine - Tomaaz - 02-05-2024
No, the whole point was to try N7. Even if N6 worked that would't be much of use in this case.

Understood... Sorry that I could not be more helpful....

Weird, the compiler should copy all required dll files to wherever it builds your exe file? I don't have linux, nor wine, so I can't test this much, sorry.
RE: No luck with Wine - Tomaaz - 02-06-2024
So, the problem might ne the fact that I'm using Geany to edit the source file and then from Geany run wine with all paths included. There is a posibility that some information is lost during this process. Will check that when I'm back at home.

It's NED that does the copying of the dll files, not the compiler itself

And now everything works like it should. Thanx Marcus and Johnno!
