Wine and Skype

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I am currently running Skype version 1.3 on a Linux Mandriva 2006
system. It works well, but the Windows version is really superior,
supporting several interesting features missing from the Linux version.
So I tried to use wine for that. I am not familiar with wine (never
need Windows programs, really) and I tried to use what had been
installed by Mandriva.

Testing wine, it's all right with the preconfigured programs I can
access from the wine menu.
Trying to use Skype, i get some error messages:

fixme:actctx:QueryActCtxW stub!
fixme:commctrl:InitCommonControlsEx Unknown class! dwICC=0x4000
fixme:bitblt:X11DRV_BitBlt potential optimization - client-side DIB

copy
fixme:bitblt:X11DRV_BitBlt potential optimization - client-side DIB
copy
fixme:bitblt:X11DRV_BitBlt potential optimization - client-side DIB
copy

if I use 'nt40', and messages inviting to use nt40 (or win31) if I
leave automatically detection possible.

The Skype error windows opens and a message (in Italian) saying that
Skype needs several more files is displayed (not really helpful).

Browsing the debug output, I think that the clue may be in lines as
this one:
warn:file:wine_nt_to_unix_file_name L"advapi32.dll" not found in
/home/guido/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Programmi/Skype/Phone/advapi32.dll

Is it a problem of path?

Thanks a lot to those who will kindly help me.
