Linux version of Civilization V is the same as Mac version, and workshop doesn't working for it. Maybe this program will also work for Linux?

bradallred commented 10 years ago

Sadly, no it won't. Its written in Objective-C and doubtfully compatible with GNUStep. However, it is a very short program (less than 100 lines) so it would probably be very trivial for somebody familiar with Linux development to add a linux implementation.

The Steam API bits in the code should work on any platform.

yes, looking at the code, most of it exists for dealing with things specific to Mac OS X so definitely not GNUStep compatible. However, it really is quite a trivial program: https://github.com/bradallred/CivVMacWorkshop/blob/master/CivVMacWorkshop/main.mm

even if you Aren't familiar with Objective-C it would be trivial to copy what its doing and do it in Linux.
