How does one set this up so that what gets run gets the correct library? When I had both the debian and the ones I compiled, running wine produced a version mismatch error. >Concerning the non-fake-windows root I can only add to what Joachim had >to say that by using a native windows installation you'll run into >problems that people doing it the 'right' way wont and additionally >you're slowing down the process of making wine become a full and >equivalent replacement for a native windows API because you're not >giving your manpower as an alpha tester since you're not really using it >for the most part.

When I am ready to get rid of the Gates installation, I will gladly do this. I agree that meanwhile, this delays the object of building a complete alternative. When this is farther along (for example, MSI faked, better directX, etc), we will have more takers. I could try everything as "builtin" or ".so" (if that is now viable). Also, most of the games as such will run without Gate's registry, assuming that the registration stuff that is dependent on that will run builtin. Some of it does not, in fact. The Debian list has posting now about "orange" which reads all the cabs, installers and self-extractors and its numerous libraries might be of use. _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
