Oh, what was the error message?
I found some answer on the internet. It seems to be some factors accounted that you were not able to launch?
Yes, Wine can work with exe files from GameMaker Studio, but success can vary by GameMaker version and the specific application's dependencies. Wine is a compatibility layer that allows Windows applications to run on POSIX-compliant systems like Linux, macOS, and BSD, and the WineHQ Application Database lists specific GameMaker versions and their compatibility status.
- Compatibility varies:
While some versions of
GameMaker Studiowork well withWine, others may have issues. Check the WineHQ Application Database for the specific version you are using to see its rating and any required workarounds. - How it works:
Winetranslates Windows API calls into native POSIX calls, allowing Windows programs to run on other operating systems without a virtual machine. This is different from emulation, which creates a full software copy of another system. - Dependencies are key:
The success of running an
exefile often depends on whether all of its required Windows libraries and dependencies are available throughWineor can be installed separately. - Installation and configuration:
To run a
GameMakerexefile, you'll first need to installWineon your OS. The specific commands will vary depending on your Linux distribution. - DirectX and Vulkan:
Many games use DirectX, which
Winecan handle. However, on some systems, using the Vulkan API can result in better performance, as it is a newer reimplementation that often works well withWine.
