Patch on TTDWin95 With WINE in FreeBSD

[Kenji Miyamoto]

I'm trying to get it to work on WINE using these instructions, but can't get it to work. Here's the returned error:

Code: Select all

$ bash "./ttd"
fixme:file:get_default_drive_device auto detection of DOS devices not supportedon this platform
fixme:ntdll:NtQueryVolumeInformationFile device info not properly supported on this platform
fixme:ver:VERSION_GetLinkedDllVersion Unknown EXE OS version 4.0, please report!!

GAMEGFX.EXE: Bad file descriptor

That's an odd message, I don't think I've seen that one before. Maybe you could try manually copying gamegfx.exe to ttdloadw.ovl.

There isn't a gamegfx.exe anywhere, which is probably the cause of the error. It's not even on the original CD I have, but the game runs fine on WinXP.

Please look at the error message:

A) you need a gamegfx.exe, aka you need to install TTDWin.
B) your Wine port for you OS doesn't support some stuff:

fixme:file:get_default_drive_device auto detection of DOS devices not supportedon this platform
fixme:ntdll:NtQueryVolumeInformationFile device info not properly supported on this platform

Thats why TTDPatch gets a bad file descriptor

I don't know how helpful this is, but I've successfully run the DOS version in DOSBox. Admittedly, this was s . . . l . . . o . . . w, and since I was running DOSBox on WinXP, I went right back to using the Win version.
