Default Running reaper in a Linux chroot

Hi,

I am looking at options of running Reaper on my linux box, which is Alpine linux based, mainly because it is fast small and doesn't run systemd or pulse.

But, since it is based on uclibc not glibc, I can't run reaper, so I have setup an ArchLinux chroot, installed all the necessary stuff and installed reaper.

Problem is I get an error that it can't find "libSwell" even though it is right there in the same place as reaper executable .. Is there any way to get more debug messages to see what it really needs?

reaper under wine runs in the chroot, but the fonts are driving me mad ... and I would really prefer native linux .

Many thanks

You could try: LD_PRELOAD=/path/to/libSwell.so reaper

Regarding fonts in wine, you probably have to install some true type fonts.

No luck, got:

ERROR: ld.so: object 'libSwell.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (cannot open shared object file): ignored.
Error loading 'libSwell.so': libSwell.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Try ttf-ms-fonts if your distro has it.

Hmm, that is for the Linux side, Windoze won't use that, it will need the same font but installed via wine, that is what I need to figure out ..

EDIT: I found the .exe versions of the windoze TTF's and installed them using wine, but no difference ..

The menu font still is nearly unreadable ..

As wine is a linux application it needs certain fonts installed on the Linux side. I seem to recall that installing the right fonts on the Linux side will fix your issue, but it was a real long time ago that I dealt with this..
