I'm still working with my codebase, but it looks like he might have a working port sooner. That's cool though, it just means that I get to play Homeworld under Linux one way or another :D -Colin Well, it looks like Ted Cipicchio at thereisnospork.com is further along in his HW porting effort.

Is this official coz I want to play this under Linux. Any links?" wtf why do my posts go to the bottom of the page? Hopefully this won't. “So ok then cwalsh (Colin) is porting it right?

Cause dammit, I really like Homeworld, and I wouldn't mind being able to play it under Linux. I've never ported Win32 software in any great amount before, however a lot of the source seems to be fairly abstracted and they already have an OpenGL renderer, so that should be helpful. Currently I've compiled all of the AI code for the ships, and I'm getting about 25% of the code for the game logic to compile. Anyways, I'll probably send an announcement to Linuxgames when I get a status page cobbled together somewhere. -Colin I wouldn’t consider myself stupid, however I’ve started work on a port of the HW source.

Why aren't you people bitching about MOHAA not being GPLed? The bottom line is this: Instead of only Ryan Gordon being able to port the game, many people will be able to work on porting it. This is a good thing. Homeworld may be an older game, but it was rated game of the year by PC Gamer a few years back, and is an excellent game. I'd love to have a native client.

Its ok, but I just never really got into it, and having to reboot into alien Windows and leave behind friendly Linux doesn't do much to make me want to play it. Its one of that games that its not worth booting into Windows just to play it, and last I tried it wouldn't work with Wine (forget why). [br]I suppose if somebody made a binary Linux port then I might play it occasionally, but after reading all of your comments about the license, I doubt that anybody would touch it much. Probably the most sensible thing in this case would be to port it to winelib and compile an EXE that works with Wine and leave it at that.
