Start wine:
|
|
-----------
|
|
Check whether wine runs by entering (e.g.) 'wine notepad.exe' or
|
|
'wine progman'.
|
|
|
|
General Notes:
|
|
--------------
|
|
1. All configuration data is in the registry, and can be accessed
|
|
directly by editing system.reg or user.reg, "wine regedit.exe" or
|
|
with the graphical configuration frontend "winecfg".
|
|
|
|
2. Drives are configured by symlinking in ~/.wine/dosdevices/,
|
|
or by using "winecfg".
|
|
|
|
3. You have to set the WINEPREFIX variable to the wine base dir,
|
|
if it is different than ~/.wine.
|
|
|
|
There usually is no need for additionaly configuring wine.
|
|
|
|
If no ~/.wine is present, Wine will setup a fake windows
|
|
environment in ~/.wine by itself, including all necessary config
|
|
file and registry settings using the "wine.inf" file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Windows DLLs not supported by Wine:
|
|
--------------------------------------
|
|
A shell script called "winetricks" is included in this RPM which
|
|
can be used to quickly install missing DLLs from public redistributable
|
|
archives.
|
|
|
|
winetricks help shows all installation possibilities
|
|
|
|
winetricks gecko Installs the Mozilla Gecko rendering engine, which
|
|
provides generic HTML rendering support to Wine.
|
|
|
|
This engine is also in the wine-gecko RPM.
|
|
|
|
winetricks mfc40 installs the MFC40.DLL
|
|
winetricks mfc42 installs the MFC42.DLL (Applications might need it)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Violation of existing windows:
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
Wine can corrupt MS Windows installation.
|
|
|
|
It is not recommended to point Wine to an existing Windows
|
|
installation. Also it should no longer be necessary to copy
|
|
stuff from Windows installations.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Error and warning messages:
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
Wine is intensively developed but is not always complete.
|
|
Therefore things might not work and wine might print error and
|
|
warning messages.
