You beat me to it again, I had just compiled it a few days ago but not packaged it yet. Why don't we just declare klhrevolutionist the official Wine maintainer for Puppy and I'll refrain from ever downloading the source again Very Happy

Dear klhrevolutionist, Mark and Nathan:

While installing wine .9.17.tar.gz attached in this post as an alien package, I get the following message finally after the installation completes:

libldap is not required for normal usage, we can search it in case you run very special software that requires it.

If this one fails, use this wizard to try OpenGL-versions optimized for your graficscard:

Even without the requested library files, Wine 0.9.17 works.

Here is a screen shot of the Tamil Text Editor "Suvadi" installed in 0.9.17.

Cheers!

Hi for some reason I can't figure out how to use wine. I looked in the wiki for a tutuorial but I'm still quite confused. If anyone has some advice I'd appreciate it. I'm running 2.01r2 barebones right now.

Is your problem installing wine or runing programs with wine?

I managed to install it but now I'm at a loss for what to do.

The first thing you will want to do is to run the configuration program. Open a terminal window and type 'winecfg'. It will create a fake Windows drive and do some other preliminary setup. Then whenever you want to run or install a program that also is done from the command line. Say you have a program you want to install, in Windows you would click on 'Setup.exe' but running Wine in Linux you would again go to a terminal and type 'wine Setup.exe', being sure to either do so from the directory that it's in or else give the full path to the executable.

You can also write a script to launch a program with Wine, to avoid always having to type the commands. For instance I have Photoshop installed in the directory /opt/photoshop (for my wife) and placed a script in ~/my-applications/bin that looks like this.

I get this message when I try that.

sh-3.00# wine cfg
wine: error while loading shared libraries: libwine.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
sh-3.00# winecfg
sh: winecfg: command not found
sh-3.00#

You also can right-click a .exe in rox -> set run action, and then enter /usr/bin/wine
Then you can run it with a click.
But tis does not work always, as some programs must be run as
wine "c:\\program files\\testprog.exe"
But when you click it in rox, it is run as
wine "z:/root/.wine/drive_c/program files/testprog.exe"
Because the Puppy filesystem is assigned to z.

you might have to reboot, so that Puppy finds all libraries.

When I installed Wine as an Alien Package, I got no error- or missing-message,
but when I am trying to run Wine, I get the message:

maybe you had a broken download, though I wonder that it installed then.
You could download again.

Or you could extract the .tar.gz to a temporary folder with Xarchive, and then compare the files.
