Mono compatibility ? about box64

[ptitSeb]

Some mono games needs to have TERM=xterm export to run fine (it also happens on x86 hardware), depending on the terminal used.

I've finally been able to launch it using : https://magazine.odroid.com/article/playing-modern-fna-games-on-the-odroid-platform/ !

But strangely my mouse clicks are not properly taken into account (I'm using VNC and it's working fine everywhere else) "most" of the time (when I click and moving the curso at the same time, it seems to work...sometimes). I know it's not strictly related to box64 but do you happen to have an idea about what happens ?

Thank you for your quick answer, I'll also try the xterm thing. But how would it be related to that crash ?

[pierreduf]

The xterm env variable doesn't change anything

Never mind, my mouse click problem was solved by : gujjwal00/avnc#119 ! It's an interesting bug.

However, that doesn't explain why box86/64 can't run this mono application

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I launched this game before with box64, and mybe box86 too,. I'll need to recheck that at some point.

I had the same error with box86. From what I understand it crashes when using libgcc ? Could it be a version problem (a symbol is looked for and not found ?). I guess that putting logs in verbose will give more information ?

Using emulated /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1

According to the log in the 1st post, the game just abort() for some reason. That's why I told you about the TERM=xterm trick.

1. the game linux native has a fix in latest version, eg. I've tested Shenzhen I/O - gog-4 (26.03.2023) (63470), it can be launched via box64.
2. previous version like your posted can be use via mono trick (compile mono natively, then mono foo.exe)
   So imho, it might be sth wrong with the mono in the old version of this game.

I don't want to hijack the topic, just a remind, the game Eliza has a similar issue.
