====== L3DT on Linux ======

Here's a wacky screenshot from the labs of Bundysoft HQ:

For those in the know, this screenie means that L3DT runs in Linux((Ubuntu Dapper, with Compiz/Xgl.)) using [[http://www.winehq.org|WINE]], albeit with some pretty serious bugs. Aside from the whole '/' versus '\' thang, L3DT in Linux has some problems with dialog rendering ([[bundydocs>l3dt:buglist:wizardsize|same old same old]]), and the main display is clearly batshit ([[bundydocs>l3dt:buglist:crazy_hf_display|could be related?]]). The rest seems to work OK, though.

Cheerio,
Aaron.

===== Follow-up =====

Happily, the slash problem is fixed by WINE, which does some shifty 'pretend /home/aaron is  z:\home\aaron' tricks. Neato. The upshot; here is first texture from L3DT in Linux:

Now, to fix that crazy rendering in the main window...

===== No sooner said than done... =====

The rendering is fixed (see below). I had blindly assumed the device context was 32-bit in ABGR, which is fine for my Win XP installation, but pretty wrong when it comes to emulation via WINE. I'll be uploading a fix for this some time tomorrow (for the Windows versions, that is).
