Linux build?

[ekg]

What would be required to port Lemma to a Linux platform?

[tgharib]

It seems like it has already been ported: #2

[poVoq]

This would be great, any news on a FNA based version?

[Xananax]

Trying to run this on wine and failing. I'd really like to try this game on Linux. Even if I wanted to dual boot, I have no official windows OS and I've grown to dislike installing pirated stuff. Commenting to get updates if this ever becomes a reality.

great to see a FNA branch (can't pull submodules, but I guess I'm simply not supposed to :}).
would rock to have a linux port on steam. thanks for trying! and thanks flibitijibibo for FNA and the initial work on the port!

[frostworx]

me again :}
the code builds fine with just a few minor modifications (removed some Microsoft.Xna.GameStudio.targets imports and some case-sensitive files in SharpZipLib).
the assets can't be pulled from the provided bitbucket submodules, so I wonder if I could play the game if I bought the windows version on steam and use the assets from there.

I added some comments to the current FNA commits to move things along for anyone who wants to help:

FNA has been updated with the changes made on Lemma's own branch, so it should be possible to use upstream without further changes now (minus the existing glitches, but I don't have the game to look at myself).

[frostworx]

bought the game on steam, and gave it a quick try with MonoKickstart (both with bundled and upstream FNA).
apart from mentioned cosmetics builds just fine (80 warnings). but trying to start the game results in:
Unhandled Exception: System.TypeLoadException: Could not load type 'Lemma.AdapterSelectorForm' from assembly 'Lemma, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'.
[ERROR] FATAL UNHANDLED EXCEPTION: System.TypeLoadException: Could not load type 'Lemma.AdapterSelectorForm' from assembly 'Lemma, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'.

For now you need to run from your system Mono runtime, as the game still depends on things like System.Windows.Forms. Right now all you care about is booting it, package it at the end.

thx, good to know that you still can use system mono with fna, might help with other "projects" if I find the time.
didn't get further here though, as system mono also doesn't seem to be able to "translate" the AkSoundEngine_Win32_Profile.dll into something native. MONO_LOG_LEVEL=debug reveals it is looking for a libAkSoundEngine_Win32_Profile.so which is not here.
haven't tried very much as I'm ill, but I guess main problem is that AkSoundEngine_Win32_Profile.dll and AkSoundEngine_Win32_Release.dll are only provided as "PE32 executable (DLL) (GUI) Intel 80386, for MS Windows" binary blobs and therefore can't be used with mono/fna(?)
