Well, I for one have never had a problem with things compiled against Jack, but who knows, maybe Jill would be better. Wink

Seriously, Jack has always worked fine for everything I've used it with.

Jack - the normal version - is just fine for me....

With kind regards,
vovchik

Oh, and, uhh, I've never figured out wth Jack is so whatever is good. Smile

Seriously, if it works it works, and so far Tech's builds up to now have been great and worked perfectly.

Yay Technosaur, trusted puppydev. Smile

Hey, "I don't know jack" either - that's why I asked.

First I'm very new to Linux and Puppy so apologies if my questions are stupid and basic

I have Puppy4.2.1 booted from live cd with a frugal install on an NTFS partition of my HD

I've been trying with various WINE downloads and the official old Pets and I just can't get anything to work

I'd like to be able to access some MS OFfice apps already on a separate HD partition where my windows stuff is and play the occasional Windows game

What do I need to download and how do I install it - step by step instructions please?

Do I need to reinstall all my windows apps after?

Will WINE allow me to open a Word document and print it on my windows only printer? No Linux drivers available for a Canon i350

Sorry for al the questions - hope someone can answer them

Cheers
STG

See initial post for the 1.1.30 for the wine_lite-1.1.30-i486.pxt <<--- yes pXt (just install my pxtget patch and right click the .pxt to "save as" and then click to install it)

adds openAL and mpg123 support - next compile should have libgsm support as well (it doesn't build a .so by default) I did finally figure out how to build it but I'm too tired to start from scratch - it is only for lossy telephone quality voice... not worth literally losing sleep over

p.s. the only reason it is called Lite is that is missing wine dev tools - for compiling in win32

Right, I downloaded wine .pxt and the patch. Installed the petget patch, but the pxt file is ignoring me.

(Running puppy 4.30.) Any pointers?

Dear technosaurus,

Your 1.1.30 version works just fine in Puppy 3.01 and 4.10. I could not use petget or clicking on the file for the install (have to look into that), but manual unpacking/ installation with the help of xz did the trick. I am amazed at how much space is saved with the pxt archive.

Thanks...

With kind regards,
vovchik

you can right click on the pxt and associate it with petget - I thought I added that to /rooot/Choices/mime..... for some reason it is sean as "octet stream" - not on Puppy right now so I'll check it when I get home

I downloaded the most recent version of WINE and successfully installed it. I am running Puppy 430 on an old Gateway 400 Pentium II with 128 MB RAM. The system barely booted with XP, so it's been idle a while. Absolutely love Puppy! Only problem is that I have a lot of old Windows 95 games that the grandchildren want to run.

Even with WINE, I am still unable to run these programs. They give me the same error that I got with XP.

Candy Land gives an error saying it can't run except in 256 color video mode. Disney Magic Artist just hangs forever "checking your system requirements". Same with the Hercules game.

Is there anything I can do to help these old games to run under Puppy?

I do not know about the other games you mentioned 'mbridges1', but there is a tip for the 'Hercules Action Game' at WineHQ.

There is an interesting forum discussion with links to other information.
Why can't Wine do 256 colors?

This should include all of the goodies. The only things you may wish to add are the rarely used dependencies (xorg_xorg_full_dri, esd, jack, openldap, mpg123, gnutls... & more if you are using a barbones version - pet get will give hints to this) Just note that if you need 3d support (GL, GLU, dri) you will likely need to run the xorg wizard again after installing the full xorg package.
