Author Topic: Blockland in FreeBSD (Read 455 times)

BobAndRob · March 25, 2009, 04:49:31 PM

I am wondering if i can get blockland to run on a freebsd server, freebsd has wine and is reliable and fast, so i want to run a bl server under it (and also have fun getting it to work)

is there a way that this can be done?

does anybody have experience.?

i have tried BL under PCBSD (desktopized version of freebsd) and was able to install bl and start it (console window thingy only though) and i could not get it to open any real blockland graphics window. (could be opengl related but i doubt it, idk if X might have problems handleing it aswell) and i have tried running it under the wine command line utility and wine normal. (one is optimized for text only)

I didn't have bsd, but it worked on gnome.
It should as long as you have wine.

Good luck.

Errg, there's no edit, I was going to add, I had ubuntu runnin gnome, and playing worked, and the dedicated worked, so it probably will.

Idk about opengl problems, I had a crappy little Compaq Presario, and it ran, but slowly.

you are a clueless lost sole, gnome is a desktop manager totally independent of your OS.

i never said anything about ubuntu, i dont like crappy code, thats why i am not useing it and want to use freebsd instead

the bsds are to gnome as your pet armadillo is to a flashlight

http://freebsd.org
is not a desktop manager

i would like to run BL under http://openbsd.org but it only has a really old alpha version of wine (sure i could use binary compatability for some other os's version of wine but then why not just run that other os.

i want openbsd because it is secure free (as in freedom not just cost) and totally awesome in evreything. (there is a reason for my bias)

sorry for tripple post, but...

badspot, a port to linux/solaris/a bsd/other unix like os would be nice (although idk what torque limits you to)

this is not a request for one, just my thoughts of how much i would like one.

P.S:linux =/= unix for those who do not know already.

also free does not allways mean freedom
