capatuy Posted September 19, 2004 Report Share Posted September 19, 2004 Please install the latest wine versions like, wine20040813 or later. You have to configure wine if the applications you installed involves DLLs but if it is a standalone applications like "notepad.exe" or "mario.exe" you dont have to, wine runs smoothly. please visit www.winehq.com for more reference and "howtos" .

a13x Posted September 19, 2004 Report Share Posted September 19, 2004 Don't expect to much of Wine. It doesn't do it's job right. Better pay the registration for 3 months at www.transgaming.com and get yourself Cedega. It's much better and more relialbe than Wine. It also needs some improvement to become and excellent software but at least it does it's job in more cases than Wine/WineX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capatuy Posted September 19, 2004 Report Share Posted September 19, 2004 You're right a13x. but freeware is better :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a13x Posted September 19, 2004 Report Share Posted September 19, 2004 Quality freeware is very kewl but it has to work. Wine on the other hand doesn't do a good job, sadly :(. For example Linux is the coolest OS on the Planet: it's open(source) , superior to others and you can enjoy it for free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smurfy Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 hi nlloc. Despite what these guys are saying, there is no reason why we can at least make an effort to get your app working under Wine (free). Unless of course there a free/open source/compatible Linux version of the FirstRate program Looking at your Wine output, the fixme: errors can often be ignored - they indicate there is a problem but they won stop the program running (generally) The main problem is the MFC40.dll missing. Firstly, get hold of WineTools. While Wine can be configured and used without it, WineTools makes things far easier for the Linux newbie. WineTools will create a new fake_windows installation in your /home directory where you will be able to reinstall your app. Part of the WineTools setup installs various windoze components that are critical for Win32 apps to run, including the likes of MFC40.dll! It still going to struggle with DirectX dependent apps (cedega is still the best for that and at $15 - it might as well be free). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
