How to install Wine in Wary 5.5?

[Abel]

Hi,

I want to install Wine in a Fujitsu S4546 (256 RAM Pentium III) laptop, it has Wary Puppy 5.5 installed.

I tried installing Wine version "wine64_DOC-3.12.pet" and also version "3.0.2" (32Bit). (I just downloaded the .pet file, put it into a pendrive, plugged it into the laptop and tried to install it in puppy (by clicking with the LMB then pressing "OK")).

I got an error when trying to install any of this two.

Any advice to get it working?

I have had great luck with WINE-portable. You dont install it. Just park it and run it. Its 32bit so if running it on 64 bit Puppy, you need the 32bit compatibility sfs for that Puppy.

I have found portable version so much easier than trying to do regular install, plus I can move it and any programs with it to another computer with no hassles.

Did you check the hash/checksum of the .pet files, and they matched what was listed online?

You need to use the 32bit version of Wine.

For Wine.

Good place to get Wine for Puppy.

Also, look on the first post of the Wine topic for a added program that puts Wine entries in the menu.

When you get Wine installed and the Wine menu entries.
Run Wine config to setup Wine.
It will probably offer you a few more programs needed for Wine to run properly.
Should download and install them as part of the initial config.

Also, in Wine config->Drivers Select autodetect to get all the driver locations loaded in Wine.

A lot of settup options in Wine config, so check them all.

What version of Windows you want Wine to mimic can affect how a program runs. Wine Config->Applications.

About specific programs running in Wine.
Go to the Wine web site and see what it says about a specific program and issues.

Using Wine is almost like learning a new operating system.
Takes a while to learn how to use Wine and to get things working properly.
