Chrome OS - Linux mode

[Salvera]

Ok - very interesting and exicting. I managed to run p99 on Chrome OS in the standard implemented Linux Crostini. No more experiments needed [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

If I understand this correctly, you're saying you bought a Chromebook (I'm curious to hear what model) and without installing a new Linux OS you were able to get WINE/EQ working?

If so, that's huge (and I may have to pick up a cheap Chromebook)!

All the new Chromebooks support Linux pretty well, specially the Intel ones, you gotta enable a flag setting, no dual boot or separate OS, similar to how you'd run wine in Linux.

Exactly, I bought a Lenovo ideapad Flex 5 ( with an I3 Intel ). All I had to do was to activate the standard Chrome OS Linux - copy the p99 files into it. Install Wine, and the "middlemand" thing ( to see the servers in the server select) and it worked for me.

Wow, I looked at the price of those and ... /whistle those are regular laptop prices, not Chromebook prices ($750+)!

Still, awesome that cheap-er laptops can run EQ now [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Thanks again for sharing.

Not sure if you're still around but how did you get middlemand to run in crostini? I can't get it to start with the script

You have to compile it first.

Ah, I see. Tried on two machines and I get this error when I try to compile with make -f Makefile

cc -c -o build/main.o src/main.c -O2 -Wall -Wno-strict-aliasing
make: cc: No such file or directory
make: *** [Makefile:30: build/main.o] Error 127

Not sure what I am doing wrong lol. Wish I never got rid of my compiled version I had way back.

It looks like there could be missing files during the compile? I've used a similar tool by Zaela called eqemu-login-helper, which I think has a similar but different solution to the login server packet order issue. After a git clone and a `make` it leaves a binary in the bin directory. Have yet to run in to any issues compiling it on debian.
