what works in wine disscusion

[bobwrit]

In past, I was able to play Starcraft

realy does it require any other librarys?

[Pizzasgood]

I don't remember. I might have been using a copy of my normal Windows install rather than the built-in stuff in Wine.

Almost all of the stuff from www.portablefreeware.com should work fine in 0.9.28.
The ironic thing is that most of the software for Windows that works in Wine is faster than the native Linux alternatives. For instance, Total Commander beats any linux file manager (and I've tried many) and Notepad++ is much more responsive than Scite, Geany or even leafpad.

Could it be that Wine becomes a viable GUI platform for Linux?

BTW, is 0.9.35 faster than 0.9.28? And will Wine work if I remove GTK or Qt?

I have just installed puppy 2.15CE. I installed irfanview-3.98 and the plugins. It said that it had no dependancies to DL but when I tried to run it it said it needed wine. I didn't know which of the wine pets to get so tried wine.10.9.22.pup but irvanview does nothing now when I click it.

Does anyone know what is the combination that I need?

I am really pleased to hear about xplorer2 also, and will tackle that next.

@RayTomes (and others)
I Installed wine 0.9.35 see http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 08&t=17359

As for xplorer² I didn't succeed yet in getting it to work.
Irfanview 3.98 no problem, except I had to get mfc42.dll from my XP maxhine and put it in the system32 directory of wine.

Has anybody ever gotten any windows burner program working under wine? There is a small burner program called SilentNight that I really like. It doesnt install but is just a windows executable file. Last time I had wine installed, tried it, runs ok except it cant see the dang dvd burner. I tried all kinds of manipulations, but no luck. Apparently not unique problem as many people have problems getting various windows programs to see cdrom or dvdrom, burner, whatever. One of these days will download a newer version of wine and try again.

I want your desktop wow.

Has anyone gotten EssentialsPIM working in WINE? Its a portable windows personal information manager. I like it because it has built in encryption, links to Outlook. It would be great to use with my portable Puppy usb stick.

bobwrit: Install your 3D graphics drivers. Download my version of wine and glibc. Install a game. Play a game.

glibc ruined puppy twice. it made the puppy boot script not run on boot... i have wine 0.9.4 now. once i get a glibc2.4 pack working i'll try itunes on puppy. 3d accelerations working now.
