wine users - Feb 2002 - Problems running HL with todays wine snapshot

Hi,

I tried to get HL running with Wine, but some problems occured:

With fresh HL-Installation it keeps asking me for the HL-CD even if I
mounted it correctly. Drive setup of wine is correct (isn't complaining
about a missing drive)

I read that installing 1.1.0.8 helps, so I did, but with this patch HL is
not even starting, errormsg is

There may be more fonts available - try increasing the value of MAX_FONTS
fixme:font:GetCharABCWidthsW (0864,0000,00ff,0x41875518), returns slightly bogus
values.
fixme:font:GetCharABCWidthsW (086c,0000,00ff,0x418765a0), returns slightly bogus
values.
fixme:font:GetCharABCWidthsW (0874,0000,00ff,0x41877628), returns slightly bogus
values.

made, anyone has an idea?

Well, if it makes you feel any better you are not the only one. I have been
trying to get 1.1.0.8 running for many days now, with no luck. The thing is, I
get this problem if I use the latest snap-shots, tarballs from May last year,
and even most prebuilt packages.

I have had lhl running before without any of these problems, so something has
changed in the last year, and I have no idea what.

One of the precompiled packages, from dataparty, does not show this problem, but
because of being linked statically with Mesa, has problems with opengl on nvidia
boards. But then this might be the reason it runs at all.

Anyway, for those who might be able to spot the problem, my system is:

NVidia GeForce2 based card : maybe a prob. with latest drivers?
Thunderbird CPU
Plenty of memory
Mandrake 8.1
gcc 2.96 : I have heard bad things about this psuedo hack/version of gcc


Thanks for any help anyone can give necro and I with this,

upgrade to gcc 3.0 (packages have the name gcc3-xxxx
on Mandrake and RedHat)
and remove gcc 2.96.
this ugly version causes code not to be included
and misinterpretation of the C code (code is false
reported with errors and other bugs like this).
