Winetricks, described at http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks, is a handy tool for downloading bits and pieces that ought to be included in Wine or in Windows apps, but aren't yet for some reason. Since the last time I announced it on wine-users, I've added three new verbs: directx9, wmp10, and mono19 and fixed lots of bugs. The directx9 verb is experimental. Please try it and let me know how well it works. I'm not a gamer, so I'm just guessing here :-) The wmp9 and wmp10 verbs aren't really useful; they're mostly for folks experimenting with codecs. A few people mentioned that the font installation commands misbehave -- they put the fonts in c:\windows\Fonts even if there's an existing c:\windows\fonts (lowercase) directory already. Let me know if you run into this (and, if you know, how your fonts directory got created). As always, winetricks is downloadable from http://kegel.com/wine/winetricks and change history is at http://code.google.com/p/winezeug Here's the change history since early April: r50 Added directx9 verb r49 Show package descriptions, at least with zenity. Add mfc42 as synonym for vcrun6. r47 Quote environment variables uniformly in case users do strange things like override to directories with spaces in them. Added little script to run all options as a trivial test. r46 Remove debugging code accidentally left in. r45 fixed icky cut-and-paste typo. Somehow it worked anyway. r44 Let corefonts work even when user has them installed natively. Based on a patch by Hans Leidekker. r43 dotnet20 also depends on fontfix Move most dependencies down into bottom switch statement wsh56 now runs vcrun6 so people don't have to remember that anymore r42 Updated dotnet11 for rc1. Install needed fonts automatically. r41 Fonts directory typo. Fixes tahoma verb. Reported by Igor Tarasov. Don't trust Curl to get filename right. Fixes gecko. Quote cache directory. Reported by Ricardo Filipe. r40 Update to latest mono Remove mono11 and mono12 verbs, replace with mono19 Abort properly on network errors r39 Updated xvid r38 Switch to listing simpler synonyms for changing windows version Correct description of volnum verb (it's still needed) r37 Fix typo in sha1sum check that caused it to be ignored! Update sha1sum for flash player (see comment for URL about the update) r36 Much better error reporting for gui users. r35 Add wmp10 and windows media codecs r34 Add Windows Media Player 9 (not really usable yet; this is for the guys implementing Quartz etc.) r33 Fixed typo that disabled curl. r32 Three improvements from Paul Drain: 1) better error handling options for wget 2) add the rest of ms core fonts 3) specify (currently) known good sourceforge mirrors for some files r31 mdac27 needs win2k, as noted by Austin. r28 Added winver=vista r27 Use curl and openssl instead of wget and sha1sum if needed (e.g. on mac), as suggested by Ryan Schmidt Use -nd option with wget, as suggested by Hin-Tak Leung r25 James suggested fixing dcom98 recipe to not crash, say, notepad. r24 Show names of ms vc runtime libraries r23 Fixed mono12 description, updated url
