- irchs, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15"restructurations" is a word? :o
- stoffe, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14There's lots of things that run better on Wine than on CrossOver... because CrossOver is a frozen, stabilized and tested - but therefore also older - version of Wine. So the Wine code usually has more features, but also may be more unstable, and of course it isn't as nicely packaged.
A lot of the Wine development is done by the CrossOver guys, as several leading developers are getting paid by them and the code is released back. Which is also a very good reason to buy a license whether you need it or not - it goes towards free software. :) - atdigg, on 10/12/2007, -3/+14Wine is coming along very nice. Now it can run almost anything for example it runs Firefox with Flash 9 without a hitch. It runs even complex pieces of software like Lotus Notes without problems, actually even better than Crossover Office (yes, I know that IBM has released a Lotus Notes for Linux).
- jonnyeh, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10I know you are talking about the Mac, but for Linux, you can already play Doom 3, Freespace 1/2, and UT 2k4 natively.
Wine supposedly runs Warcraft 3 and starcraft just fine (dunno about HL2). I know that cedega runs HL2 fine. So, you're sticking to Windows because of FF XI and Tron 2.0? - Hitchhiker90, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Jerks! After I just downloaded and installed 0.9.20 last night to try out that ies4linux script to install IE on linux...

if you're going for the record. you should troll the mac forums. they're dumber, and they atcually take the flamebait. - ldog, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Sweet.
.9.20 broke WoW compatability, .9.21 is supposed to have a fix.
No need for cedega here. - JerMe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6I guess this should be asked - what windows software works with this new version of wine (that didn't work previous to this release)?
I'd love to see wine work with Office 2003 or iTunes 6/7, but that's just wishful thinking. - stmiller, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6It's French. :)
- xeeton, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Is there an easy way to install Darwine? I saw a 25 step process that I didn't want to get involved in.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4ya, for me the native quake4 runs better on the linux side than on windows.

The Darwine DMG on http://darwine.opendarwin.org/ is for 0.9.12, and doesn't support sound. From what I've seen, it's considered a "Developers' only" install. It can run a few applications, but you have to be sure to launch Winehelper and use it to create a registry before you run any Windows Apps.
Aside form that, the only option I;ve found is to compile from source. - saguratus, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6Working nicely here, however riched20.dll appears to be having issues in this release. Easy way around it is to use a native copy or disable it entirely in an override under winecfg.

you might have accidentally just downgraded to 9.16, that is unless you're running your whole system with unstable packages by default. if i'm wrong would you care to direct me twords a debian repository which has the latest version? - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3ah yes, time to break debian again.
- SuperSunny, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4I use WINE to run Steam, Firefox Windows for Flash9, and other generally non-available on Linux Windows apps like tools for my xbox (xISO, etc). It's really useful, I hope this does well!
I just did an apt-get update, and my flash player was just updated ??? - sixdays, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3You mean all 40+ million linux users
- ludwik, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2> direct me twords a debian repository which has the latest version
Official wine repository - deb http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt dapper main - TheZorch, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3I can't wait until Wine runs the following software without a hitch. When it does I'm leaving Windows FOREVER! Note: I may do that if I can get an iMac and Parallels with 3D support is released or when Wine for Mac OS X matures.
I'd like to see the following work under Wine:
Final Fantasy XI
Steam/Half-Life 2
Doom 3
Tron 2.0
Warcraft 3
Starcraft
Descent: Freespace
Freespace 2
Unreal Tournament 2k4 - ibis, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Doom 3 and UT2004 work natively under linux, no need for wine. HL2 works for me under wine with a few rendering bugs. I'm told WC3 and Starcraft work but I haven't tried them, and I have no idea about the rest.
vmware also has experiemental 3D support in workstation 5, although again, I don't know how well it works. - ibis, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Doh, I'm sure I hit the right reply button. Ah well jonnyeh beat me to it anyway.
- halleyscomet, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3So, does this mean we Mac users will get a version of Darwine that supports sound?? Hope, hope hope???
- Lorian, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2./configure
make
...
This is gonna take a while. - cliffzdude, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1In another 9 years they may break the V. 1.0 barrier!!! Wooot!!!
- 1310nm, on 10/12/2007, -5/+2Too funny. This had very few diggs early this morning, now it's dugg to the front following a complaint that it wasn't (wine is probably important to the Digg technical audience).
Digg isn't controlled by "the" community, more like "a" community. - Rice, on 10/12/2007, -14/+11You're an *****. :P
- stoffe, on 10/12/2007, -8/+4sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
;-) - jdawg19, on 10/12/2007, -12/+4It should be...
- jacobee519, on 10/12/2007, -13/+3It isn't?
- 1310nm, on 10/12/2007, -15/+3Why isn't this dugg to the front??
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -34/+3Lol i'm going for the dugg down record, may as well piss off all the stupid Linus and Lucy POS geeks...
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -49/+5wow now all 400 linux users in the world (where 380 post on digg) can be happy
