Running under Linux - without Wine

[LegioDraconis]

Hello everyone, currently toying around a bit with EG in combination with an android app named AutoRemote.

I have one huge question though... I am running on Linux, using Wine to run EG. Which bugs me a lot, seeing that EG is written in python.

HAs anybody tried to get the software running under linux without using Wine?

It's impossible.
That would mean a rewrite 90% of the core program.
Even the author of the program (Bitmonster) left the project,
because he switched to Linux.

Figures...

Too bad, cause EG wouldve been a good base to work with.

Meh,I'll see if I can actually do stuff to it.

Is there somebody I can contact about getting permission to publish, if I ever get things working?

Most problems would be with the gui and win api's. I would also very much like to have even a headless EG server running natively under Linux. The GUI can always be arranged separately. For me, a headless server running in a Raspberry that I could reach via a web browser with websockets would be the ultimate.

Regarding publishing, you can easily publish attachements here in the forum or you could also link to a suitable download if you prefer.

I'm currently thinking of trying to remove everything NOT neccessary to get it to work for my system, so I'D probably tearing out the WinAPIs anyways.

But I'd probably redo things from scratch and then implement things bit by bit...

Ah, let's see where this goes ;F

And regarding publishing, I was rather thinking of copyright issues, y'know, permission of the name and such.

Everything we do for EG like modifications/enhancements (mainly handled by Pako) and creating plugins (done by myself and many others) is also free and open software. From my perspective, as long as we keep it that way, would be excellent. If you keep the licensing text in your modules and add your revision notes, I think we are fine. See the license text below taken from one of the .py modules (core.py)

Best regards, Walter
