I'm thinking now that I was just lucky. Most people have not been able to get it working. For me it only ran for two weeks. I have been doing some things this morning which lead me to believe I don't know how to run multiple versions of Wine correctly. What I have been doing is this: (Please don't mix this with my other Wine questions about Quicken. That's a different environment and not part of this audio work) 1) Set up two source code directories wine-20040505 wine-20040914 2) configure and compile wine in each directory 3) Run make uninstall in the one I want to remove and make install in the one I want to use 4) Now 'wine --version' shows the correct version number Now, my question comes down to how do I handle the .wine directory? The The 20045050 version requires a config file, but it also seems to accept links placed in th dosdevices direcotry. I say this because if I run 0505 with no .wine/config file winecfg won't run. On the other hand, the 20040914 version seems to go the direction of don't use a config file unless you find you need it. But what about installed applications? Where should they be placed? If I install an app, like Battery, under 0505, then do I need to remove the .wine directory to correctly move to 0914? Seems like I wouldn't want to leave the config file, the registery files, and everything else there since they are afrom a different rev. However, if I remove them then I have to reinstall apps. I'm as confused about handling the registry uinder Wine as as I am under Windows!!! I think you said that you do NOT reinstll apps, so I assume that possibly you've figured this out? thanks, Mark On Fri, 15 Oct 2004 11:45:50 -0700 (PDT), M-Halo <masochisthalo@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi Mark, > > I can't comment much as to getting the VST server > going as I just BARELY got Rosegarden running, and I'm > still trying to get the DSSI plugin to install.
