Dwarf Linux dosen't start

[fkrauthan]

If i try to run ./Dwarf within the Dwarf installation folder on linux I got this exception:
Unhandled Exception: System.DllNotFoundException: libSteamLinux.so

can some one help me?

[fkrauthan]

Oh and if I restore the files it resets 2 files and if i start now i get:
Unhandled Exception: System.TypeInitializationException: An exception was thrown by the type initializer for System.Drawing.GDIPlus ---> System.DllNotFoundException: libgdiplus.so.0

Smells more like Mono.
Been messing around with the various files, LD_LIBRARY_PATH and stuff... But I can't get it to work either, pretty much got the same problem.

Sorry for the late replays the game wherent sepose to go live when it did. We just found out : X. So we will look at fixing issues this week.

[fkrauthan]

That would be awsome thanks :) I really like to play that game on linux.

@fkrauthan
I've had the 'System.DllNotFoundException: libgdiplus.so.0' problem too. Installing lib32-libgdiplus solved it.

[fkrauthan]

@Niwakaame: Yes but it looks like that the LD_LIBRARY_PATH isn't used by mono. The so og libgdiplus is bundled with the game as the steam.so is too. So the problem is not that there system libs missing the problem is that mono isn't looking at the right place to load the libs.

I'm not familiar with LD_LIBRARY_PATH, but maybe you could create a symbolic link using 'ln -s' to place a link of libgdiplus.so.0 in the directory in what Mono is looking.

[fkrauthan]

@Niwakaame the main problem is if i do more or less something like that the game can't find the steam so. So we have to figure out a general way to fix the lib loading to look in the correct paths.

[fkrauthan]

The strange thing is if i try to execute the exe with the command mono ./Dwarfs_Bundle.exe (within the installation directory) I got this output:
Cannot open assembly './Dwarfs_Bundle.exe': File does not contain a valid CIL image.

Sorry for that many double postings. But I found the issue with loading the libgdiplus.so.0 from the application directory. It looks like this lib has a reference to libtiff.so.4 which can't be loaded. Since on my system i only have libtiff.so.5 after that libmad.so.0 was missing so I had to install the 32bit libmad package. After fixing this two missing so's I get now finally a sigserv but no DllNotFoundExceptions any more :)

Hi!
Thanks for looking into this issue, it has really helped us track down the problem, and we will upload a patch with the missing libs and some crash fixes in a few hours. We did test our game on a clean Ubuntu 12.04 and 10.04 installation, and it ran without a problem. Could you please tell us what distro you're running so we can test our game for those as well?
Thanks again :)

Heya! I'm not sure if this really relates to this problem, but I'm running Fedora 18 and besides the libgdiplus.so.0 (32bit version) missing (LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not set to anything atleast in F18, so I added /usr/lib to the Dwarfs -startup script, which fixed it for me) I've also been having these random crashes with the "Out of range" -error that was mentioned in the other thread. There's also the crash that happens every time I complete an Arcade -type mission . Campaign and tutorial modes work just fine.

Have you installed the SDL -package? It's SDL.i686 and SDL2.i686 on Fedora, probably called libSDL on Ubuntu then?

Might also be included in the ia32-libs package on Ubuntu.

[fkrauthan]

I use archlinux (a leading edge distro) with mono 2.10.

@akopov.alexander: This issue probably exists becouse of the missing libmad.so.0 (It looks like the libSDL_mixer-1.2.so.0 which is shipped with the game has a reference to libmad)
