3. REQUIREMENTS
To compile and run Wine, you must have one of the following:
Linux version 2.0.36 or above
- FreeBSD 4.x or FreeBSD 5-CURRENT or later
+ FreeBSD 5.3 or later
Solaris x86 2.5 or later
NetBSD-current
it's best to have a current kernel such as 2.4.x.
FreeBSD info:
- Make sure you have the USER_LDT, SYSVSHM, SYSVSEM, and SYSVMSG
- options turned on in your kernel. More information is in the ports
- tree: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/ports/emulators/wine/
+ Wine should build on FreeBSD 4.x and FreeBSD 5.x, but versions before
+ FreeBSD 5.3 will generally not work properly.
+
+ More information can be found in the FreeBSD ports tree at
+ <ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/ports/emulators/wine/>.
Solaris info:
You will most likely need to build Wine with the GNU toolchain
If you want CUPS printing support, please install both cups and cups-devel
packages.
- For the automatic processing of the test suite scripts, you also need
- libperl development header support (libperl-dev package on Debian).
-
-For requirements in case you intend to build the documentation yourself,
-see "DOCUMENTATION" section.
-
4. COMPILATION
In case you chose to not use wineinstall, run the following commands
first. Try either "dpkg -r wine" or "rpm -e wine" or "make uninstall"
before installing.
-If you want to read the documentation supplied with the Wine source,
-see the "DOCUMENTATION" section.
-
-Wine requires a configuration file named named "config" in your
-~/.wine directory. The format of this file is explained in the config file
-man page (documentation/wine.conf.man).
-The file documentation/samples/config contains an example configuration file
-which has to be adapted and copied to the location mentioned above.
-
-Don't forget to add vital registry entries by applying winedefault.reg
-with programs/regedit/. See documentation/ directory for details.
-
-See the Support area at http://www.winehq.org/ for further
-configuration hints.
+See the Support area at http://www.winehq.org/ for configuration
+hints.
In case of library loading errors
(e.g. "Error while loading shared libraries: libntdll.so"), make sure
to add the library path to /etc/ld.so.conf and run ldconfig as root.
-In order to verify the correctness of the environment you need for
-Wine to run successfully, you may run "./tools/winecheck | less".
-You'll get a percentage score indicating "Wine configuration correctness".
-As this program is alpha, it doesn't run a truly thorough test yet, though,
-so it should be taken as a first verification step only.
-
-See wine.conf man page on how to switch to text mode only support if desired.
-
6. RUNNING PROGRAMS
When invoking Wine, you may specify the entire path to the executable,
wine /usr/windows/sol.exe (using Unix filename syntax)
- wine -- sol.exe /parameter1 -parameter2 parameter3
+ wine sol.exe /parameter1 -parameter2 parameter3
(calling program with parameters)
Note: the path of the file will also be added to the path when
can at least partially be fixed by using
http://home.nexgo.de/andi.mohr/download/decorrupt_explorer
-7. DOCUMENTATION
-
-Some documentation (various Wine Guides etc.) can be found in the
-documentation/ directory (apart from also being available on WineHQ).
-
-If you want to process the SGML files in there, then you can run "make doc"
-in the documentation/ directory.
-Doing so requires the sgml tools package (for db2html, db2ps, db2pdf) named:
-Debian: docbook-utils
-Mandrake: sgml-tools-A.B.C-DDmdk
-SuSE: docbktls-A.BB.C-DD
