my attempt at compiling Wine 1.3.13

<http://www.wuala.com/puppylinux/version2013/wine-1.3.13_v1/>
(version 1)
stripped=true

<http://www.wuala.com/puppylinux/version2013/wine-1.3.13_v2/>
(version 2)
stripped=false

When submitting bug reports to WineHQ, it appears a non stripped Wine provides more information than a stripped Wine.
Non stripped = better for squashing bugs.

There are a few scripts that I find useful in creating sfs files.

One is 'pets2sfs'

Another is 'createsfs'

I compiled using puplet: Puppies 4.31.1 by forum member 'ttuuxxx'
I specifically used the files:
puppies-431.1-main-Xserver.iso
devx_430.sfs

puppies-431.1-main-Xserver.iso - [forum post] [mirror 1] [mirror 2]

Dear green_dome,

Glad to see you back here. I am happy to report that your latest compile works fine, as usual.

Thanks.

With kind regards,

green_dome,

You are doing Puppy Linux a great service. YOU the MAN!!!
Thanks for keeping up with changes to Wine!!!

[jamesbond]

Thanks green_dome.

[playdayz]

Bigpup said it all!!! Thanks green_dome. I added Wine 1.3.13 to the Puppy Package Manager in Lucid 5.2.

Dear green_dome,

The wine guys and gals have released 1.3.14. Mainly bug fixes, as I understand. We, of course, would be grateful for your pet when you find the time. Thanks.

With kind regards,
vovchik

green_dome,

Here is an update for Winetricks with a much improved GUI. There is an Alpha version with even more improvements!

LOL, I see bigpup got here before I did.

Hey green_dome, I was playing around with winetricks from 1.3.13 and noticed that it appeared in one long row that would stretch across multiple screens. This is how I have seen it before so it is nothing you have done or not done of course. I asked on the forum if anyone would like to write us a nicer ui and bigpup tracked down the author of winetricks. To make a long story short, if you could install zenity in your wine pets, then winetricks appears much nicer. You are already doing a lot, so if that would mess up your system just let me know and I will add it for the Lucid 5.2 pet. Thanks.

Here is a pet of zenity. You can also rename it by replacing pet with tgz and then unpack it to extract the files. It is only about 230KB so I think it would be a good addition.

I just remembered. It would also be good to include cabextract because winetricks needs it to unpack many of the packages.

Thanks bigpup and playdayz, that's a hugh improvement for wine tricks.

[playdayz]

Here is green_dome's wine 1.3.13 with zenity and cabextract.

I remade this with yad 0.8.1 (instead of zenity, using technosaurus's suggestion to create a link from zenity to yad) made by stu90 just today--that saved 300KB. http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=58306

Uninstall your current wine and install this one (only in ibiblio for a day or two).

I'm happy to report that both DesignCAD and TurboCAD open in the latest GreenDome Wine in the stripped=false version.

Very happy about that since I've stayed way back in versions of Wine in order to have DesignCAD functional.

I can't say whether this is just due to the stripped=false version or not. I'll probably try the stripped version too, and I also hadn't tested many of the prior GreenDome versions, so it may have been functional some time back.

But anyway, happy to report that these work.

TurboCAD looks a little unstable, but much better than in the past when it was screen garbage and rapid crash. Now I can do a fair amount in it before crashing -- generally it happens when trying to change preferences in the program. This is likely a Wine/TurboCAD bug, not necessarily anything to do with compilation for Puppy..

DesignCAD seems solid.

I'm hopeful TurboCAD/Wine will one day be stable as well, since the improvement in just 1 year has been really noticeable.

Thanks GreenDome for making this available. Very happy to finally be able to upgrade Wine.

I installed Wine-1.3.13-Lucid52.pet [Ref.]

Command line:
winetricks

got this:
zenity: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.7' not found (required by zenity)

---

Command line:
ldd --version

got this:
ldd (GNU libc) 2.6.1

---

Possibly I will look into compiling yad or zenity for Puppy 431. If I do compile it, possibly I will post it as a separate package. At the moment, I prefer dependecies that are separate.
