WINE

[Kos_BD]

Greetings!
I need your help in configuring WINE
First my attempt wasn't successful
Could you explain me step by step how to install it properly? :-/

[piktor]

You need help in configuring or installing Wine?
What gives the "winecfg" command?

[Cthulhu]

What do you mean? Installing wine is rather straightforward and doesn't differ from any other utility, though running programs using it is not.

If you encounter any problems with installing particular application under wine - try to find the instructions at http://appdb.winehq.org/

wine works as soon as you install it:

Код: [Вибрати]

sudo apt-get install wine
then you run Wine Configurator and set windows version to XP.

Well, this doesn't guarantee that your favourite windows program will work without crashes under wine, but some (ie. Photoshop, Word, IE) will.

http://appdb.winehq.org/ - look here for the status of your program you want to run.

If it doesn't you may dance with buben, using windows native dlls, or just install a copy of Windows XP under Virtualbox.

I mean that my favourite programs aren't working. .f.e., qip infium
I've read an article how to configure WINE but it didn't help
So, how was told

sudo apt-get install wine

.. so.. what have I to do further?

qip

what do you need qip for? You may configure either pidgin or kopete to use qip emoticons.

infium

what's this?

to run any windows program type

Код: [Вибрати]

wine program_name.exe or just click on exe file - should work.

infium

what's this?

qip infinum - next generation of qip messenger. It obtain XMPP (Jabber/GTalk/Mail.Ru) support.
IMHO - kopete from kde4 is better than qip, qip sucks because:
1. Writed on Delphi.
2. Closed sources.
3. Not available on Linux.

1. Writed on Delphi.
2. Closed sources.
3. Not available on Linux.

These problems are not so annoying themselves - just one more crappy app for windows - but... Somehow qip developers succeeded to break standards of the closed and proprietary ICQ/AIM protocol (Oscar). Thus most users with clients different from it have a lot of problems. For example, infamous bug with Ukrainian letters in ICQ. From some point of view there is such a qip network inside ICQ network... I can't understand why AOL stands it.

Never cared much about ICQ, but anyway - such a 'programs' should die in torment. Together with the developers.

But it doesn't..
pidgin.. really, I don't like it

[noddeat]

try kopete also.

as for qip, it is rated as "Gold", so should work

there is one important comment there:

for QIP build 8020 to work install winbind and then launch QIP with the /oldgif parameter

wine /path/to/qip /oldgif

(tested for Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon and Hardy Heron 8.04 Alpha 4)

so, you've probably have to install windbind.

Код: [Вибрати]

apt-get install windbind

[Praporshic]

winbind?  
/me can`t understand it....
