libpng12-0 needed for software & what to do

#1 Post by Aspis »

Hello.

I'm building a Gaming System with a 64 bit Debian Stretch & Ubuntu Focal Fossa dual boot install.
I'm a long time enthusiast of Debian specifically.

So, I'm trying to install TESII: Daggerfall, & it suggests that libpng12-0 is missing.
:(
What do we do when it's context that we need an older file like that?

Here's the PlayOnLinux debug comment:
[PlayOnLinux] Detecting program directory to run: C:\DAGGER
[POL_LoadVar_ScreenResolution] [1;34mMessage:[0m Screen width: 1024
[POL_LoadVar_ScreenResolution] [1;34mMessage:[0m Screen height: 768
DOSBox: error while loading shared libraries: libpng12.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Thanks for the help.

Hi,
The quickest way, unless you prefer to recompile from source, is to just to grab a deb from snapshot.debian.org

Code: Select all

wget https://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian-archive/20190328T105444Z/debian/pool/main/libp/libpng/libpng12-0_1.2.50-2%2Bdeb8u3_amd64.deb
and you'll also need multiarch-support. Install them with gdebi or dpkg -i
DebianStable

Code: Select all

$ vrms

No non-free or contrib packages installed on debian!  rms would be proud.
