Running on Linux in Wine

[Kodiologist]

Can I get this to run in Wine on Ubuntu 15.10? Let's find out! One complication is that I use WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32 for running Stardew Valley itself, whereas Stardew Farm only has a 64-bit executable for now.

When I say wine /tmp/stardew_rocks.exe, I get:

 fixme:process:SetProcessPriorityBoost (0xffffffffffffffff,1): stub

Those last three could be important: does Wine implement whatever file-watching system calls Stardew Farm needs?

Regardless of these messages, I do get an icon for Stardew Farm in my system tray (LXPanel). The URL from "Copy Link to Clipboard", namely http://127.0.0.1:58727, just stalls forever when I try to open it in Firefox. wget says just HTTP request sent, awaiting response.... I tried sudo WINEPREFIX=/root/.wine wine /tmp/stardew_rocks.exe in case it was an issue of Stardew Farm not having the permissions for using that port, but now the connection is refused entirely.

Thanks for the detailed report.

The "out of memory in virtual heap" messages are kinda scary looking, but I don't know what to do about them.

Not sure how your wine is setup, but the client needs access to your AppData directory with the game. If it doesn't, I'm not sure what would happen. So that's one possible cause. You'd have to make sure it can find the game data.

The log should be available in a directory like this: C:\Users\Yves\AppData\Local\nictuku\stardew.rocks\log.tx

Not sure if wine uses the same path structure, but I guess so.

If the logs are empty, you can try getting a stack dump. Send the process a SIGQUIT (kill -QUIT ). It will produce a very large stack trace. You can paste that on http://gist.github.com or so, then I can have look.

Thanks for helping with the testing!

I tried adding a symlink to my Stardew Valley save directory (~/.wine32/drive_c/users/hippo/Application Data/StardewValley) to ~/.wine/drive_c/users/hippo/Application Data/StardewValley, but that didn't make a difference. Is there a way to manually set the location of the save directory?

Here's the log file:

Sending SIGQUIT makes the taskbar icon disppear, but doesn't produce a stack trace or core dumb.

It may be easier to compile the core parts of the program for Linux rather than get the program to work with Wine. You don't need to implement things like automatically launching at system startup or watching the save directory for changes; the user can do that with a shell script, if they want to.
