Hi ruelle,

As Austin said, MText crash (point 1 of post you linked) is fixed in git.

Point 2, aka the DIB engine, won't very probably never be accepted on wine
(at least, my solution), so the only way by now is to patch wine.
I'm thinking to upload somewhere the gdi32.dll.so and winedib.drv.dll.so
precompiled files for people who want to test without rebuild wine.... 

Point 3, if you need it, hasn't be accepted too.... some time ago.
I've no time nor fun to make it "acceptable" by now, so if
you've also problems with printer format (which is most probably if you use
Autocad not just to draw your kitchen furniture.....), just grab the patch on
bug page and apply it :-)

I'm also thinking on making a debian pre-built patched wine package, for
AutoCAD users.... if I've time to do it, I'll post news here.

Ciao

Max

That's pretty hacky, and can break across different
distributions/versions of libc/etc.

To be honest, I think making a Autocad version of wine would be great.

Make a repository, keep it up to date with regular wine + DIB engine +
a few hacks for autocad.

Just be sure to make it clear it's not 'vanilla' wine, so bugs
shouldn't be filed against it without first verifying them in vanilla
wine.

Scott can probably help you with this. If not, let me know.
