wine users - Sep 2008 - help for hire? wine crashes when running http://www.verydoc

Hello,

I?m willing to pay $500 to the person that can help me.  Of course, free help
would be even better :-)
I want to get the software at http://www.verydoc.com/dwg-to-vector.htm to run
under wine. This program converts dwg to swf (flash). It?s a command line
program that I want to integrate it into a web app.

I can get the conversion tool to  give me it?s help message by running ?wine
dwg2vec?. But when I run ?wine dwg2vec.exe test1.dwg tst1.swf?  it crashes with
a segmentation fault. One important detail: My server is headless. If I can
avoid installing an X server, that would be nice. If I can?t, please help with
that to.  I got this far by using Xvfb.

For payment you can bid on

I would at least try a current version of wine. Your wine version is
several years old and there have been many fixes since then.

Thanks John,
I tried upgrading. yum only has 0.9.46. I could not find more recent rpms for
fedora anywhere. Do you have any idea how I could go about upgrading to 1.0?
Thanks.

Jeff,
In the mean time, do you have suggestions on what I can do to figure out how I
can get it to work. What is the usual plan of attack when an app does not work?
Is it usually missing dependencies? What can I do to learn more?

That's what these guys do:
http://www.codeweavers.com/

In fact, they port their improvements back to Wine, so you are in fact
helping support Wine when you pay them.

In any case, write to the author of the Windows software and let them
know that there is interest in using their applications under Linux.
If we don't ask, then the software devs won't know that is what we
want.

Codewavers already have enough advertisement all over Wine. Adding more
doesn't help. And comments like that will discourage some developers from
getting into Wine.
Telling every company to write their software for Linux doesn't help to
solve a problem at hand - non-working application on Wine.

Please refrain from posts like that in the future.
