This is my first attempt at using wine. [Well, you know what I mean. ;-) The program I am trying to run is http://www.cplus.org/rmw/english1.html There is a data for the program under wine: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=3756 However, the data needed to run the program under wine can be found here: http://www.vias.org/wirelessnetw/wndw_05_08_05.html The last bit of background is I am running suse 10.2 64bit. I managed to install wine using the 64bit wiki. I am running version 0.9.59 of wine. Now for the problem. A DLL names freeimage.dll does not load. When I attempt to save the results, only the BMP file format works. Other formats indicate the DLL is missing. However, the BMP file is empty, so it really isn't being saved as well. The DLL is in the directory. I could have sworn the first time I ran the program under wine, it took some time to load. Now it starts up right away. Is there some step using wine that only happens the first time a program is run?
First off, I'm glad to see another Radio Mobile user out there! I run the program at work on Windows, but never tried it under Wine. I am running Slackware-current (32-bit), Wine 0.9.59, and except for a ton of fixme's scrolling by, the program seems to work just fine for me. I have not had any problems with FreeImage.dll loading, and all file formats seem to work successfully. Whether this is from running a 32-bit OS, I don't know for sure. Here is what I did to get it running: 1. Create the folder Radio_Mobile in ~/.wine/drive_c/ 2. Download and unzip the program files into the Radio_Mobile directory 3. (key step for me) Install the required DLL (msvbvm60.dll) using winetricks: $ wget http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks $ sh winetricks vb6run 4. Run the program: $ cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Radio_Mobile $ wine rmweng.exe 5. Extract a map (I just let it automatically download the map data for my Lat/Long), and click File -> Save picture as... Maybe this will help. If not, perhaps someone else can provide some suggestions. I'm still getting my feet wet with Wine. Good luck! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-users/attachments/20080416/377d00f7/attachment.htm
I tried the winetricks. It seems I'm missing wineprefixcreate. I looked around the wine directory and don't believe I have the program. It isn't in wine/wine-0.9.59/programs directory. Perhaps due to a path error, it doesn't show up doing whereis. Here is the error message. suse:/usr/local/src/radio_mobile # sh winetricks vb6run which: no wineprefixcreate in (/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/sbin:/opt/kde3/sbin:/opt/gnome/sbin:/root/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/bin:/usr/games:/opt/gnome/bin:/opt/kde3/bin:/usr/lib64/jvm/jre/bin:/usr/lib/mit/bin:/usr/lib/mit/sbin:/usr/local/src/wine/wine-0.9.59) Cannot find wineprefixcreate (wineprefixcreate) suse:/usr/local/src/radio_mobile #
I have installed it as indicated in the link I provided. However, it isn't clear to me where the program gets installed. Running wine from the source directory somewhat works, but that could be my problem. If the software doesn't go to /opt or usr/local I just don't where to look.
Something was off on the installation, but I got it installed correctly now. Here is some of the output from the installation. I can't find libhal. I do have libgphoto2, but wine isn't finding it. At the moment, that isn't an issue. ----------------------- By default, `make install' will install all the files in `/usr/local/bin', `/usr/local/lib' etc. You can specify an installation prefix other than `/usr/local' using `--prefix', for instance `--prefix=$HOME'. configure: libhal development files not found, no dynamic device support. configure: libgphoto2 development files not found, digital cameras won't be supp orted. configure: Finished. Do 'make depend && make' to compile Wine . ------------------- This is an FYI for where the files are stored for suse 10.2 suse:/usr/lib/wine # whereis wine wine: /usr/bin/wine /usr/lib/wine /usr/bin/X11/wine /usr/include/wine /usr/share/wine /usr/share/man/man1/wine.1 suse:/usr/lib/wine # The wine "tricks" worked regarding installing VB6 and I can now save the output files. All that remains is for me to figure out how to run this not as root. For that, I can RTFM. Thanks all for the help.
