Hello! Apologies to necro this thread; but have you any advice on getting it to work on Debian Bullseye? I can no longer install libssl1.0.0 due to me not knowing how to install the multiarch-support package
No worries if not and thank you very much for the instructions!
I am trying to get it to work on Bullseye as well. You should be able to install multiarch-support with the appropriate architecture with
sudo apt install multiarch-support:i386
From there you should be able to install libssl1.0.0. I still have not been able to get it to run. There may be possible issues with libGMResource.so and gmresource.dll.
maybe my libraries aren't up to date or I need to enable some sources? It just returns the "unable to find package" error message
As far as I understand the functions of multiarch-support is actually in-built to bullseye now; but obviously the libssl1.0.0 package doesn't know that because it's ancient and has no way of telling that bullseye contains the same functionality
or maybe i'm totally wrong, i read it on the debian forums
concerning that it still won't run, may have to go back to buster, anyways good luck with getting it to work & thank you for the advice!
I think you are right about the multiarch-support functions being native in bullseye. I had the following additional source added to my /etc/apt/sources.list form earlier experiments, and I'm guessing this is where the package is located:
deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian buster main contrib non-free
I think that contrib and non-free are not necessary to locate the package. This should be added to the end of the sources.list in addition to the bullseye sources.
Based on elilla's comment, it might be easily playable on a virtual machine. Hopefully, it runs on buster with minimal effort in the virtual environment. Would your computer handle a virtual machine?
Edit 1: I tried it in a virtual machine and it worked fine. My installation of bullseye was new and did not have wine, after installing it the game works under bullseye without virtualization.
Edit 2: The package can be obtained directly from Debian's repository and installed with
wget http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/glibc/multiarch-support_2.28-10+deb10u1_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i multiarch-support_2.28-10+deb10u1_amd64.deb
Continuing the saga, on Debian Trixie (unstable) it appears openssl 1.0 is totally unavailable as far as I can tell, and replaced by openssl 3. Or if I go back to older versions I can get openssl 1.1, but it still doesn’t have the symbol versioning junk that is expected by something expected by openssl 1.0. Haven’t been able to dig up an old version of the libssl1.0 .deb yet, and trying to do some ugly hacks to make the 1.1 deb function hasn’t succeeded; I’ll keep looking.
Edit: Works fine in wine so far though.
