[url] Thanks a lot for your help and Best Wishes for 2010![/url]
No problem and the same to you .
So if you do happen to remaster make sure the symlink /root/.wine is removed first to avoid hair pulling later...just pop it in after the first boot.
mike
ps just a though...If you happen to have dedicated a whole partition to this your link could go to /mnt/sd(x)...just a thought.
pps..there are ext2/3 drivers for windows...might come in handy

I just compiled wine 1.1.35, but I did not yet add support for some of the features not included in Puppy (gsm, openal, mpg123, gnutls, capi)
http://puppy-development.googlecode.com/files/wine-1.1.35-i486.pxt
I may add mpg123 later, but I want to try and patch the build system to use shared instead of static libwpp and libwine_port because it could significantly reduce the size (400 files in /usr/lib/wine statically linking 100+kb is a bit significant and make the smallest files over 70kb)... the Git developers do the same thing. This is also probably a contributing factor to why xz gets such better compression.

I installed wine-1.1.35-i486.pxt. When attempting to run the game, FlatOut, it gives me the error message about a debugger detected. Since FlatOut refuses to run, I will share my novice attempt at compiling wine 1.1.35.
wine-1.1.35-i486.pet (release 1)
wine_DEV-1.1.35-i486.pet (release1) (development package)
wine_DOC-1.1.35-i486.pet (release 1) (documentation package)
I installed these packages before compiling:
jack-audio-connection-kit-0.116.1-i486.pet
jack-audio-connection-kit_DEV-0.116.1-i486.pet
xorg_xorg_full_dri-7.3.pet
xorg_xorg_full_dri_DEV-7.3.pet
For help with Gecko, look here
When trying to use winetricks, the GUI appears to be a long horizontal menu that goes off the screen to the right. Since I have difficulty accessing the rest of the menu, I use the console to install packages from winetricks. For help with this I use the code:

my graphics card is a Nvidia GeForce 8400GS, so I install the 'NVIDIA-190.42-k2.6.30.5-1.pet' from this post

Wine 1.31 Subject description: Problem with ntfs? |
|
This is probably a dumb question but will wine work on a ntfs partition?
I am running Puppy 4.31 on a ntfs frugal setup and wine installed and it let me install a program but when I try to open it nothing happens.
When I try again it says it is already running and would I like to open another ?
That does nothing either.
Would someone please answer my question? I posted it more than a week ago,thanks!

Here is my attempt at compiling wine 1.1.36.
wine-1.1.36-i486.pet (release 1) | mirror
wine_DEV-1.1.36-i486.pet (release 1) (development package) | mirror
wine_DOC-1.1.36i486.pet (release 1) (documentation package) | mirror
I installed these packages before compiling:
jack-audio-connection-kit-0.116.1-i486.pet
jack-audio-connection-kit_DEV-0.116.1-i486.pet
xorg_xorg_full_dri-7.3.pet

As long as its inside the pup_save it should be no problem.
Since you can install then it must be working so the problem may simply be that wine cannot run your program or it needs windows libraries adding.
Look the program up at
http://appdb.winehq.org/
The other way is to run from a terminal and look for clues in the error messages.
wine /path/to/windows.exe
Some programs need you to
cd /path/to/program/folder
first otherwise they cannot find themselves.
You will find all the wine stuff in /root/.wine which is a hidden file so click on the eye...It may make more sense if you look around in there.
This thread tends to be busy and problems tend to get missed as the focus is on the package itself so I recommend making a fresh post when you have a specific problem.
mope that helps
mike
just a thought...I'm assuming you have enough space in your pup_save for all this;.

I have enough space and I know where the drive c is. When I did a search at winehq It said the program was not there even though I know it is. I will try again. When I try to run it in terminal it says no such file.
Thanks for answering.

well it may look something like
wine "/root/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Your Program/Program.exe"
If you find the exe file in rox and press '/' the path appears..you can highlight and middle click to paste in a terminal

That is what I did. /root/.wine/Drive_C/E-sword/esword.exe .
Thanks anyway.
maybe you can answer this, how can you get past the first page on the wine Internet Explorer or can you? My pastor has to use IE to order from the food bank.
Thanks

Hmm very limited as the only way to navigate is through links. Odd really as I have the same gecko on windows as an IE substitute for years and it has much more control. A lot of wine developement seems to be aimed at games rather than more serious applications. Are you talking about a website or an embedded feature? If it's a website does it work in opera/firefox as others have linked the iexplore binary to them.(the windows versions)

As far as the browser problem FireDog was accepted so that problem is solved.
No I don't get anything , it just sits there. There is an installer used to install into Ubuntu but I cannot get it to run in Puppy.

G'day Frank Cox,
I too have fun & games getting XP programs to run particularly from the menus because of path or icon issues.
It may be nothing but you've got "Drive_C" when I think it should be "drive_c"? Check your cases are exactly right - also use quotation marks if the directory has a space in it like "Program Files".
And thanks, green_dome, for wine-1.1.36. I have set uo your latest wine pet as an sfs including all my installed XP programs and it all works well.
David S.

That is what is so weird, the installer works perfectly. I just can't run it.
When I tried lodging in to the terminal it gave me a list of information about Japanese versions available. I can't get the installer to execute.
I installed it in Ubuntu with an installer and it runs better in Ubuntu than in windows.
Another user figured out how to copy the Ubuntu install into Puppy.

I would rather install directly but at least I will be able to do it.
