Hmm. I'm having zero success running either wine 1.0 or 1.17 in MacPuppy Foxy 1.5

I've installed the three files (cabextract, xorg_xorg_dri-7.3-1.pet and wine pet).

After restarting X, I have 'Wine Config' and 'Wine Remove Programs' in the 'Utility' submenu....but they don't seem to do anything. Similarly, clicking on an .exe file does nothing

Can anyone help?

EDIT: Well, that's kooky plus fun :S

I used Pfind to search for Wine. It found a bunch of stuff in /initrd/pup_ro2/usr/share/picasa/wine/bin.

Clicking on some of the icons (notepad, progman etc) launches those files. Figuring what the hey, I dragged a file from HDD (Open office portable) onto the cog wheel icon named Wine. It launched it.

That's...kinda counter intuitive? Is it meant to work like that?

Try running 'winecfg' from a console/xterm.....you should get some messages indicating what may be wrong/missing

Sorry - I think we both posted at the same time

Anyway, I did just that and got -

/usr/bin/winecfg: line 29: /usr/bin/wine: is a directory
/usr/bin/winecfg: line 29: exec: /usr/bin/wine: cannot execute: success

Does the above + the workaround I seem to have discovered (see EDIT above in my 1st post) indicate something useful?

Might this be because I'm trying to run it from a LiveCD session (I'm trial ing wine to see if it will do what I need it to)

Ah seems like you have a working wine after all. Clicking on an exe won't do anything until the file association is made....there was a pup to do this but not sure of the situation now.
wine /path/to/program.exe is the usual format. from command line.

Running in ram (ie cd only) may affect behaviour....there have been reports of odd behaviour with wine and the union file system..in the past I've tried wine in sfs form then remastered it in after testing.

You should associate .exe files with wine so that when you click on them wine opens them.

To do this in Rox file manager, right click on any .exe file, then select "set run action", then make sure the button at the top is set for "only for the type 'application...(snip)". Then at the bottom under "Use shell command:" type in:

Code: Select all

wine "$@"

and hit "Use Command"

Another way to open programs in wine is to unhide files in your home directory (in Rox left-click once on the eye icon in the toolbar) and then go to the .wine directory.

Inside .wine is drive_c which is your emulated (I know, wine is not a windows emulator) C: drive.

Inside drive_c are where your Windows programs are generally stored and installed. If you have made the .exe an association to Wine, just clicking on an .exe program in drive_c should run it. While an .exe file doesn't necessarily have to be in drive_c to run, they are generally happier there, and that is where they get installed when you run most installers in Wine.

Installers are usually called setup.exe on a windows program CD. Installers don't generally have to be run in drive_c (in fact usually aren't since they are often on a CD) but Wine will know to actually install the runnable program in drive_c anyway.

re. your discovery:
Dropping a file on top of a program as you did will cause some file managers, including ROX in Puppy, to pass the dropped filename to the program, exactly as if you had typed it from the command line. Not all programs like this or know what to do with it, but Wine does for .exe progs. And not all file managers do this.

Thanks folk - I'll let you know if any other issues arise. I made the mistake of thinking it just automagically worked (as in FlexxPuppy 1.4); didn't realize you had to tell it what to do with .exe's. DOS habits, I guess.

Automatic .exe association works in Puppy 4.1.2. You said you were running MacPuppy Foxy 1.5.

Individuals are free to create alternative puplets at will. How well they work, and their own compatibility with other external installed programs are entirely specific (and possibly idiosycncratic) to the distro.

Yes I can!

Sorry for delay as I said in my previous topic I hadn't internet for some days.

Anyway, I would appreciate if anyone could help me with "unable to initialize graphics engine" error I described in the last page. thanks

mikeb · #111 Post by **mikeb** » Mon 05 Jan 2009, 16:14

unable to initialize graphics engine

well libGLU needed / the open GL package.

If you are trying to run 3d games then the full 3d driver will be needed...eg dri/drm

yes I want to play 3d games.
do you where I can find those drivers for puppy 4.1,please ? I tried with petget but they are not there.

mikeb · #113 Post by **mikeb** » Mon 05 Jan 2009, 23:51

Well that's beyond the scope of this thread but use this
http://wellminded.com/puppy/pupsearch.html
and look for your video card type and 3d...I'm not familiar with the arrangements for 3d and puppy 4

perhaps you are looking for wine compiled with the 3dmark patch -> directx levels and pixel shading

http://www.wine-reviews.net/benchmarks/ ... patch.html

Does anyone know if this has been incorporated into the 1.1.x tree yet?

Also does anyone know a way to compile wine without the development files since most people want to just use precompiled binaries - not develop/compile an exe... if not then which development files can safely be removed? I have been checking the online man pages but it is unclear whether or not any of these files are used for "normal operation"???????

I am trying the 1.17 pet and seem to be unable to install ie6
Anyone able to get this to work?
ie4linux does not work either.

wine 1.1.13

I compiled 1.1.13 with GL only (no GLU)- compiling with GLU would likely require a complete recompile of X and all associated programs - others have been compiled with it and this cause crazy screen flickers and other instabilities - although there is libGLU.so... there was no GLU.h in devx_XXX.sfs this could mean any number of things ... hopefully someone knows where the GLU.h that was used to compile the official pet package could be found

hmm I had the latter working some time ago with an older wine..and installing ie6 I don't think is recommendedfor security reasons and it wouls overwrite system wine files.
If you simply want to check page rendering try this useful site...

another safer approach would be to use qemu/vbox and have a virtual windows installation
