dream up on ubuntu

Yes, use Wine.

You need DreamUP_Linux_1_3_beta for linux.

Dreamboxedit, copy dreamboxedit.exe to desktop and open a terminal.

cd Desktop

wine dreamboxedit.exe

Problem with windows dreamUP after starting it with wine there is no com port showing (tty in linux)

Any software written in .net, you need Mono installed to get it running.

[edit] Obviously install wine

sudo apt-get install wine

Hi Folks,

I got Dreamup running on Linux (Ubuntu 12.10)

First of all downloaded DreamUP_Linux_1_3_beta of some forum - I don't think I'll be able to attach here?

Tried to run it but got
chmod +x ./DreamUP_Linux_1_3_beta
./DreamUP_Linux_1_3_beta
./DreamUP_Linux_1_3_beta: error while loading shared libraries: libglib-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

So first started downloading the necessary shared objects to run the program.

Search google using the following query:
site:Ubuntu -- Error libglib-1.2 and downloaded the i386 versions of the following Debian packages - I'm running Ubuntu 12.10 so I did not have these old
shared objects installed (I only needed them for getting DreamUp to run)

libglib1.2-dev_1.2.10-19build1_i386.deb
libglib1.2ldbl_1.2.10-19build1_i386.deb
libgtk1.2_1.2.10-18.1build2_i386.deb
libgdk-pixbuf2_0.22.0-14_i386.deb

Now extract each of these files locally so used the command dpkg

dpkg -x libglib1.2-dev_1.2.10-19build1_i386.deb .
dpkg -x libglib1.2ldbl_1.2.10-19build1_i386.deb .
dpkg -x libgtk1.2_1.2.10-18.1build2_i386.deb .
dpkg -x libgdk-pixbuf2_0.22.0-14_i386.deb .

(Remember the . at the end above - it means extract to the current directory.) The four commands above extract files to your current directory and create a directory named usr with one below that called lib

In your shell type the below to add this new lib folder into you dynamic library search path.

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:usr/lib

And heres what it looks like.

Due to a usb to serial converter cable it did not successfully flash the box - thats another issue :-(

thanks,
Martin

hi martsbradley,

I did it your way and it work for me,
the only thing is that export command don't do the trick, but when I copy the executable DreamUP_Linux_1_3_beta to directory where I extracted the libraries, it finally work.

libraries I downloaded from here:
libglib1.2-dev_1.2.10-19build1_i386.deb and libglib1.2ldbl_1.2.10-19build1_i386.deb

libgtk1.2_1.2.10-18.1build2_i386.deb

libgdk-pixbuf2_0.22.0-14_i386.deb

thanks for your exact explanation!
