More info needed on Windows installation[edit]
Currently says:
- extract the archive file to a folder somewhere
- and run the game from within the folder.
I already did the first step intuitively but I am not sure how to run the game from within the folder. What file do you open? okay I figured out it is Dwarf_Fortress.exe but I think it would be good to note that, will mention on the page. 184.145.18.50 20:31, 27 February 2016 (UTC)
Needed openSUSE info[edit]

64bit support for Linux[edit]
Now that DF is built for amd64 much of the Linux section is unnecessary as only native libraries are needed now.
- Can confirm that the Arch Linux package is x86_64 now. 89.234.157.254 16:15, 18 October 2018 (UTC)
- I've updated the Debian-based instructions to clear up the dependency mess and only include the packages that you actually need; at some point I'll evaluate the current apt package on a new installation and see what other instructions it might need as well.

libstdc++ compatibility[edit]
New installation on Debian Sid 64bit, DF 0.44.12, GCC 8.3.0. The guide works fine, but it fails with two "libs/libstdc++.so.6: version `CXXABI_1.3.8' not found (required by /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGLU.so.1)". It seems to get fixed (the game starts) with a "ln -sf /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 libs/libstdc++.so.6" like the ones for the sound (but with -f), but doing so deletes the already existing file and I don't know what's in there, so I didn't change the main page.
