Doesn't work.
I have to use the Windows version in Wine, then it works.

That's the one... png, not jpeg...

Of course, this is just my best guess since I don't have a Precise chroot.

I think I've covered most dependencies already. I'll have to check the exact error message again, though I think it was about angelscript.

But why does Windows games work better on Linux than Linux games?

I cant run the Linux version on Linux. But the Windows version works fine.

Because they failed at packaging it generically! It amazes me that running from wine was the next choice instead of building the binary from source...

Because everytime I tried to compile from source its been:
- Read install instructions
- Fetch hundreds of packages to compile stuff
- Compile
- Discover that compile failed

Wasted time. Compile didn't even work. Now system is polluted by hundreds of unnecessary packages.

Of course you've reported this to the Warsow people so that they can correct their packaging, right?

I just did an Ubuntu Quantal chroot and this is the full list of -dev packages installed to get it to build

No, I didn't.
But now that you told me, I decided to email solomonk about it.
