Hello I was wondering what are the best Wine Front-Ends. PlayonLinux is excellent with games that is for sure... But when I try to install the copy I bought of Babylon Pro 9 a few years ago, when I try to push the dictionaries I simply can't... So I would like to know what is the most friendly front-end in order to install applications that need patches and updates (in this case my babylon michaelis dictionaries, which need to be installed on the directory as babylon...). Also may I ask you if it is possible/legal to install directx under Wine, you know to play ;) . I would prefer an front-end with a lot of support and updated. And one where I could install everything need for certain functions under the same "prefix" like on PlayOnLinux... Thank you!
Oh I forgot I'm using Linux Mint 11, this forum needs an edit button ;) .
Wine "front ends" are not supported here. This forum is for plain Wine only.
To make things "easier", of course. Configuring everything about a Wine install through a GUI tends to be so much easier than doing it yourself. However... - These forums (/ this mailing list) are excellent for getting support to get something to run, especially when tricks required for older Wine releases actually break the app in a new version of Wine. Not only that, it leads to bug reports for Wine itself much more quickly than any front-end. - Winetricks already does a good job at the things it supports, and is very minimal. It is very up-to-date because one of the Wine devs actually maintains the project. - Considering what a mess these front-ends make out of things sometimes, using Wine as-is seems like the best solution anyway. Prefixes aren't a difficult concept.
Well Babylon Pro 9 is a dictionary program ^^ babylon.com with support for such dictionaries such as oxford and michaelis and such... It is good for me because I am a fansubber... Anyway can you point me out a good tutorial for installing programs? Thank you!
