Description
From what I can understand of the way this works, it seems odd to require WINE for Linux users.
It needs to run inklecate, which is written in .Net (C# think) and so the suggestion is to emulate being on a Windows machine. But when I check here, https://github.com/inkle/ink I see that there are instructions for Linux users to run inklecate with Mono (ie to run .Net on Linux).
Couldn't Linux users just follow the inklecate Linux instructions and then the rest would be fine (it looks like the rest of inky is done with electron, so already cross platform). Would then just need a tiny tweak so that it calls inklecate (rather than the Windows .exe)
I'll have a go when I'm done with work later on to see if I can actually use it this way and if so, I'll update details here.
Another option (which is perhaps something to raise in the inklecate repo instead) is whether it might run on .Net Core 2 on Linux instead/as well, since that's an MS-supported open source alternative to Mono now. I happen to have it installed for another project, so might give it a shot.
Is there any advice from the inky developers on these points?
Thanks,
Neil
