That's pretty hacky, and can break across different distributions/versions of libc/etc. > I'm also thinking on making a debian pre-built patched wine package, for AutoCAD users.... if I've time to do it, I'll post news here. To be honest, I think making a Autocad version of wine would be great. Make a repository, keep it up to date with regular wine + DIB engine + a few hacks for autocad. Just be sure to make it clear it's not 'vanilla' wine, so bugs shouldn't be filed against it without first verifying them in vanilla wine. Scott can probably help you with this. If not, let me know. -- -Austin
