LazyPuppy, what am I missing in the above statement? I installed CorelDRAW8 from the setup file.
I hope I do understand this the right way?
I had done this in the end of 2011 / beginning of 2012 using LazY Puppy (a Lucid Puppy 528-4 Derivative) and the Wine 1.3.13 (iirc it came as .pet and I converted it into a SFS?).
I have the Corel Draw Suite installation files in a directory on a HD and installed SETUP.EXE and D3DSETUP.EXE from there after loading the Wine SFS.
At first -after loading the Wine SFS- I executed wordpad(?) or any different app to let Wine complain about the missing Gecko files. Downloaded and installed them (was a single Process iirc), then installed the Corel SETUP.EXE and D3DSETUP.EXE.
After setting up Corel Photopaint to have some tools as buttons in a docked "panel" at the left side (it crashed a few times but did accept the settings at next start) and also to have my Corel Scripts added and after all of it was finished, I'd opened up a copy of the Wine SFS that has been loaded first and copied /root/.wine completely into the directory of the extracted Wine SFS. After this I'd rebuilt the Wine SFS and renamed it to WineCorelSuite.sfs which I'm still using in my different LazY Puppy Systems which are based on:
- Lucid 528-4, Precise 5.6 and 5.7.1, MacPup 525, Carolina 1.2, Studio 13.37, Tahr 6.0 and Unicorn 6.0 (overseen any?)
Made a reboot (no save file), loaded the new created WineCorelSuite.sfs and executetd Photopaint directly from its binary in the Corel directory: /root/.wine/drive_c/Corel/Graphics8/Programs/photopnt.exe.
After successfully testing Corel Photopaint only, I extracted a copy of WineCorelSuite.sfs again to edit. Created scripts to call wine executing the Corel binaries and created .desktop Files to be able to execute the scripts for the Corel Applications from the Puppy Menu.
Rebuilt the SFS and done.
Example of my run_corel_photopaint8 Script:
Code: Select all
#!/bin/sh
wine "C:\\Corel\\Graphics8\\Programs\photopnt.exe"
Example .desktop File, LP2_CorelPhotopaint8.desktop:
Code: Select all
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Corel Photopaint 8.232
Exec=run_corel_photopaint8
Type=Application
StartupNotify=true
Path=/root/.wine/dosdevices/c:/users/Public/Start Menu/Programs/Corel Draw Suite 8
Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/photopaint.png
Categories=PuppyInstalledApps;SFS-Wine;3DGraphics;
In my remastered OS I had changed/defined run actions for the .cpt, .cdr and .d3d Files and created a script, that loads automatically the WineCorelSuite.sfs when clicking a .cpt, .cdr or .d3d file. Also added right-click option to send different file types of graphics files directly to Corel Photopaint.
Was it this what you are asking for?
BtW: yes, Corel Draw crashes when copying (Strg-C) content. But to duplicate (Strg-D) content works very well.
