Wine (Linux) Users: Try this.

It seems that everything in Defcon works fine under Wine, with the exception of joining games. As this is a rather major problem, and IV haven't fixed the bug (they pass a value instead of a pointer to a value) in Defcon, I've written a (very) crappy hack for Wine.
(Valid in Wine 0.9.28)

In /dlls/ws2_32/socket.c, line 2489 (WS_ioctlsocket) add this:

Code: Select all

    if (argp <= 0xFF)
    {
        WS_u_long temp_argp = (WS_u_long)argp;
        argp = &temp_argp;
        WARN("WS_ioctlsocket: argp < 255. Assuming data, not pointer.\n");
    }

It's ugly, It's messy, but it lets you join network games (for me at least).

Are you using vanilla wine or a distro-specific version?
at least under ubuntu 6.10 and debian etch defcon runs perfectly

On an entirely unrelated note, with regards to your nick: does that make you a dog?
