Pretty straightforward question. I am very new to Linux, and I was trying to redownload FEBuilder, but it doesn’t work. Is there an alternative or something else I’m supposed to do?
you can dual boot, switch to buildfiles, or pray one of those wine wrappers works
I have absolutely no clue what any of these are, but, thanks. I’ll try.
I mention the two methods if using FEBuilder on Linux here (I went for the virtual machine route).
Buildfiles are the most friendly to native Linux.
It is possible to get it to work with wine, but it is not recommended.
This is because the debugger does not work.
If the debugger does not work, one of the attractions of using FEBuilderGBA is lost.
Thus, the solution would be to create a windows VM.
I personally just use wine via lutris. It works fine if you wanna make little changes here and there, or look something up, but is noticably slower for some reason.
Setting up a VM is probably the best idea.
Pardon the thread necro, but have there been any updates on FEBuilderGBA’s compatibility running in Wine on Linux? For context, I have an old, Intel-based MacBook Pro which dual-boots macOS & Windows 10 Pro…and when Windows 10’s extended support ends this October, I fully plan to replace Windows 10 with Debian on this machine.
I made a post about this about a week ago. Seems to work pretty well after Wine 11 released, but I didn’t do extensive testing.
