There appear to be several tips in the appdb to get the program working. I have tried a few tips, and at least the program starts on my computer, I do not know about it fully functioning with all features though.

Actually no but when I checked the last attempt it the past is very different.

it was .Wine/Program Files/E-Sword/esword.exe and now it is
.Wine/Program Files/e-Sword/ {ALL} and the executable is e-Sword.exe and the various default modules are there.

I was unable to find the program at WineHQ, thanks for the link!
It gave me a fatal error but when I dis another search it found it, go figure?

Thanks-I will try again!

wine will also accept \(as \\) and is not case sensitive like windows since it is a windows emulator which is not an emulator.

spaces can also be escaped ie
program\ files
can be used instead of
"program files"

end of lesson 3.2..you may go to the library for study..

Thanks!

I am a slow learner but I think I am beginning to understand what I did,
I changed the path and it said it could not execute the binary and it seems obviously I managed the last go round to copy the binaries instead of installing them. Once I uninstall for the umpteenth time I think it will work.

Thanks for the lessons , I need them!

What is interesting is the program is much faster in Ubuntu than Windows , I thought it would be otherwise.

Dear green_dome,

Any chance we might be getting an upgrade 1.1.37 pet? I think it came out yesterday.

With thanks in advance and kind regards,

...or what about the latest stable? Why the development versions of wine?

Dear abushcrafter,

When it comes to Wine - where development is very active and salient improvements come with each version nearly every two weeks - it does not make sense to recompile the readily available stable version (1.01), which is at least a year old. This page explains why: http://www.winehq.org/news/.

With kind regards,
vovchik

Thanks Muchly.

Here is my attempt at compiling wine 1.1.37.

wine-1.1.37-i486.pet (release 1) | mirror
wine_DEV-1.1.37-i486.pet (release 1) (development package) | mirror
wine_DOC-1.1.37-i486.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
xorg_xorg_full_dri_DEV-7.3.pet

For help with Gecko, look here

I use the console to install packages from winetricks. For help with this I use [source]

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

Dear green_dome,

That was quick. Thanks very much. Installed in 3.01 and 4.10 and works like a charm.

With kind regards,
vovchik

Dear green_dome,

I just saw that wine 1.1.38 was released. Any chance that you might be releasing a corresponding pet????

With thanks in advance and kind regards,
vovchik

Here is my attempt at compiling wine 1.1.38.

wine-1.1.38-i486.pet (release 1)
wine_DEV-1.1.38-i486.pet (release 1) (development package)
wine_DOC-1.1.38-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
openldap-2.4.13-i486.pet
openldap_DEV-2.4.13-i486.pet
xorg_xorg_full_dri-7.3.pet
xorg_xorg_full_dri_DEV-7.3.pet

Should I somehow uninstall previous versions of wine before attempting to install a new version?
I found after I installed a newer version i seemed to have made it a bit hit and miss whether the exe's actually did anything afterwards and menu items dont all do anything now either.
Whats the best approach? Should I delete all traces of the original or is there a way to find and get all the old wine folders out ...or do i just click install and hope for the best ?

Uninstall the old package from PPM (Puppy Package Manager).

Thanks oh yes I see and I had 2 versions installed at the same time,that probably wasn't helping anything.

G'day chrissy,

I have an extensive set of odd-bod programs running under my existing wine version, so don't want to go through installing them all again with each new (weekly!) wine. Getting the menus and icons right again is a nuisance.

I have had no problem simply installing the new wine pet on top of the previous one (eg 1.1.38 over 1.1.37).

A simple idea, if you have the drive space, is to have a test Frugal to which you can try these "should I do this?" things. If it doesn't work, just re-install the test Frugal from the Live CD files. If it does work with the test Frugal, it "should" work with your main Pup (full or frugal).

David S.

Thanks david. I uninstalled the two versions I had on there, 1.1.19 I think and 1.1.37 and then installed the 1.1.38 which kept all the old settings in any case,even the spotify password so that was a bonus. The 1.1.38 has a better choice of sound config but winetricks is only useful from command line as the gui thing is all stretched out while in the early version it had a proper choosable menu.

Press alt then click and drag if your using jwm to see the rest of the winetricks GUI.

Thankyou abushcrafter,I can get it to drag sideways but it wont do it downwards.So although I can make the box bigger in any direction the other choices are all on one line still. It is icewm ,is that the problem am i better using JWM instead?
It is still better than not seeing anything past the d's

Odd .

IceWM, I would have thought that it could do it but I just don't know how, so you will need to read the IceWM documentation.

G'day
Wondering... How do you patch wine?

Somehow you have to patch wine from source - just haven't found documentation and I have been looking for days!! (only ubuntu and they use something called snood).

Cheers
Martin

PS. Just found this in the Source Readme ..
To upgrade to a new release by using a patch file, first cd to the
top-level directory of the release (the one containing this README
file). Then do a "make clean", and patch the release with:

bunzip2 -c patch-file | patch -p1

where "patch-file" is the name of the patch file (something like
wine-1.0.x.diff.bz2). You can then re-run "./configure", and then
run "make depend && make".

Is this answer? and if it is how do I apply a patch (not an upgrade) posted on WineHQ?
