Hai guys,
I would like to get some old WINE softwares for Redhat 7.3 & RedHat
9.0 machines. Because the latest WINE softwares takes a lot of time to execute
an OCR program. ( Eg. wine-20031016-1rh73winehq.i686-2). But the WINE s/w
provided with the RedHat-7.3 cd ie.,wine-20020327-1.i386 executes the program
very quickly but the problem is, it takes a long time to build font metrics in
order to call the program. So i would like to get the WINE softwares released
in the earlier months of 2003. eg. WINE-20030318 for RedHat7.3 & RedHat9.0
.I believe that the earlier WINEs might call the program very quickly and also
it might execute the program quickly.In RedHat8.0 machine the program works very
well with wine-20030318-1rh8winehq.i386, which is provided with the CD. Please
kindly let me know where i can get these old but working WINEs.
The machine i am using is a DELL computer with Pentium-III peocessor. For this
machine which architecture is suitable. whether
i386 or i686.
Looking forward for your kind reply.
Saravanan

Compiling wine yourself is really easy: un-tar the tarball with tar xzf Wine-*.tar.gz go into the new directory (named wine-<date>) and type, ./tools/wineinstall This will build the wine program of the version you want. I think, to be sure, it's a good idea to remove a wine version which is currently installed - but I don't really know how this is done in redhat; Compiling takes some time (especially on an older computer) but ofcourse it only has to be done once; I hope this helps, Joris
for a redhat build i would recomend www.rpmfind.net. they keep pretty old versions. hope that helps --- saravanan <saravananv@> wrote:> Hai guys, > I would like to get some old WINE softwares for Redhat 7.3 & RedHat > 9.0 machines.

If it is taking a long time executing processor intensive tasks (as opposed to drawing screen graphics), then a good candidate might be msvcrt. If you don't have a native Windows version of msvcrt.dll, then try to get one and configure Wine to use it. I have found that single change to make a dramatic speed difference in certain applications.
