wine users - Aug 2011 - Newbie Question Minimum DLLs or Components Required

What are the minimum DLLs or components required for a win application to have a
chance to work?

The software I am installing is not a game so I dont need games related dlls or
components.

Tks for any advice

Are you about to install only some wine DLLs? Why don't do a "make
install" to install all? One approach to find out which DLLs your app
requires is to look INTO the executable file with a hex editor and search for
DLL inclusion (e.g. search for .dll with a case-insensitive search).

I am a new ubuntu user trying to get Call Of Duty 2 working.
Just thought I would share what I have been recently learning.
 
To save conflicts use a different wineprefix for each installed app/game....

Wine, wine tricks and Play on Linux refer to wineprefixes. 
CrossOver games refer to winebottles.
Different names for different applications.  All the same thing except you pay
for CrossOver so to make it different from other gui for wine call the prefixes
something different.???   Shame it dont work for CoD2.

I too am trying to verify dlls and dependent apps to add to winecfg libraries to
get COD2 working (well)on my system(natty 64bit)




Speculate to educate.

Have you tried PlayOnLinux or Wine Tricks?

Thanks for input jjmckenzie.  After reading your post I checked which wine
programs i had on my machine and long story short I now have the game i wanted
running on my natty machine is now running sweet with just plain old wine.
