OTOH quite all of the big libraries are backwards compatible or have transient symbols that map internally to the current implementation of newer symbols. It’s up to the binaries to check if the symbols are available in the correct version then. They get installed locally in user directories dedicated to Wine anyway.Ĭontrary to the Windows OS and it’s bindings to things that are controlled by MS under Linux using dynamic library loading is the way it works. And I don’t mind too much that my package manager doesn’t automatically update the few Windows apps that I use (with Wine). If you’re not allergic to using Windows software under Wine, then LTSpice definitely works though.Īnd, if you are expecting your Linux distro to package LTSpice for you - rather than installing it manually with Wine - you’ll probably be in for a disappointment, as many distros have either given up on packaging it, or have pretty old versions, etc. Note that beyond the actual features, one big “selling” point of LTSpice are the provided models. ngspice is good, KiCad is a decent GUI front-end to it, but if you’re looking for the “LTSpice” experience, it’s not there yet. If the question was about an alternative to LTSpice on Linux that is not actually LTSpice (or that maybe is a native Linux version), then there isn’t really. Updating components from within the app has been working fine though. I’ll see if the actual updating works once they release the next version. Well, updating the app itself from within LTSpice used not to work (error message), so you would have to install new versions manually, but lately it appears to be fixed (LTSpice 17.1.10), at least checking for updates now works. Haven’t noticed anything that didn’t work. LTSpice running fine here too under Wine (8.15).
