So suddenly I can run the program, but the window refuses to pop up. I reinstalled, rebooted and retried everything. But nothing works. Any suggestions? The only thing that will open is the icon at the upper right of the screen..

Try terminating it w/ top/htop then launching it in the terminal. Paste the output here.

The binary, or executable in your Simba folder..

Edit: Like on my computer
`/home/lucas/Simba/Simba.x86_64-linux'
or
`cd /home/lucas/Simba/'
`./Simba.x86_64-linux'

Edit2: But it needs to be changed to meet your directory etc…

I cant help you if you're using the Windows Simba. You sould have specified that in the original post. I thought you were using the Linux binary.

Uhh. Try running
`wine Simba' <- BUT CHANGE 'Simba' TO THE SIMBA EXE INSTALLED.

Pascal sciprt doesnt work properly on Linux, so some suggest running the Windows binary in WINE.

Mike, try updating WINE from their repos? Idk much about Simba.

As in, you checked out the git repository? If so, go to ./Projects/Simba and open the Simba.lpi file. Hit Build->Compile, it will be in the top level directory.

Needs FPC and Lazarus.

Got it. You have to use Lazarus. Lets see if i can figure this out.
ERROR: Identifier not found "open document" "open url"

begin
OpenDocument(Self.IncludePath);
end;

procedure TSimbaForm.MenuItemOpenPluginsFolderClick(Sender: TObject);
begin
OpenDocument(Self.PluginPath);
end;

procedure TSimbaForm.MenuItemOpenScriptsFolderClick(Sender: TObject);
begin
OpenDocument(Self.ScriptDir);
end;

Why are you guys making him compile simba? He just wants to use it with wine.

Are you sure it doesn't show up? The output from wine you pasted looks correct. Try using the tray icon to make it show.

What I ended up doing is uninstalling wine in the software center and reinstalling both wine and simba. For somereason that made it work.
