- Kingoftherings, on 03/07/2008, -0/+54As much as I love Wine, I can't wait to see the day when its no longer needed.
- dualscreenman, on 03/07/2008, -0/+4994 bugs until 1.0 (Down 2 since 0.9.56)

appdb.winehq.org ... go find your app and check the notes! - YodaJones, on 03/07/2008, -0/+17The Wine folks...always busy. Keep it up!

This is the wine App Database, search your apps in here to see if they work. - Gavagai80, on 03/08/2008, -0/+15Lots of us don't need it now (can't say I have any real use for it). But many people will will always want to run something from another OS -- DOSBox is still "needed" on Windows too.
- schoate09, on 03/07/2008, -4/+19Sarcasm detector batteries, $5.99/ea
- Camouflage, on 03/07/2008, -0/+13Note the new bugs fixed since last release section in the announcement.
- sloppychris, on 03/08/2008, -0/+13Ironically, Wine's success in bringing more users to linux will be Wine's downfall when software vendors improve their support of the OS. It's a cruel world we live in.
- twoboxen, on 03/07/2008, -0/+11Nice job! I'll take slow, steady progress over none any day.
- pHreaksYcle, on 03/07/2008, -2/+13I'll help you out...Flash works perfectly and CS2 is close.
Google ftw kthx. - vincentweber, on 03/08/2008, -2/+12It will always be needed for gaming because even if Microsoft would stop with bringing out new versions of Windows, you will still have old Windows games that you would want to play every onces in a while.
- podgey22, on 03/08/2008, -1/+10Compile it yourself. Seriously, it's not that hard... By that I don't mean it doesn't look scary or it doesn't take a bit of time (even on a fast computer) but it requires absolutely 0 brain work... Just dopy and paste these simple lines into a terminal and say yes when it asks if you want to install things. Using the checkinstall defaults will do just fine too. I use check install (instead of the traditional sudo make install) because this builds you a package that you can uninstall through synaptic. You can even share it around to save other people building it.
Here goes:
sudo apt-get remove wine
sudo apt-get build-dep wine
sudo apt-get install build-essential checkinstall rar
mkdir wine && cd wine
wget http://easynews.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/win ...
tar -xvjf wine-0.9.57.tar.bz2
cd wine-0.9.57
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --enable-opengl --with-x
make depend && make
sudo checkinstall
wineprefixcreate - someguyfromhell, on 03/07/2008, -1/+10nice work winehq!!
- Hangly, on 03/08/2008, -0/+8The moment Wine can run Illustrator and InDesign I'll ditch windows for good. That's a promise.
- RedGreen1, on 03/08/2008, -0/+7Then those that work on Wine can move onto innovative original projects, instead of something that shouldn't have to exist (they are doing a great job mind you). Where is the problem?
- ToadLeg, on 03/07/2008, -0/+6"11516 jedi knight: dark forces II is upsidedown when 3d accel is enabled"
What? - Ademan, on 03/08/2008, -0/+4http://winehq.org/site/download-deb
1. Follow the instructions
2. automatically update to newest wine available
3. ????
4. Profit! - sloppychris, on 03/08/2008, -0/+4Who said there's a problem?
- fr34k5h0w, on 03/08/2008, -0/+4Or you can add the WINE repository to your list of sources (http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb) and always be up to date.
- Hangly, on 03/08/2008, -0/+4Thanks guys, but memory is kind of critical when doing design work. Virtualization isn't quite going to do the job for me.
- gavintlgold, on 03/08/2008, -0/+4The wine upgrades come slowly when you use Ubuntu. Get the ubuntu repo (listed on the wine page) and just wait a while... the update will come, like any other ubuntu package.
- gavintlgold, on 03/07/2008, -0/+4Wait... an update already? wow.
Also, the Ubuntu packages have been coming in quite late (I got the last update a few days ago). I hope they speed up the packaging! :) - Ademan, on 03/08/2008, -0/+3hahahaha, I think someone confused Wine the software with wine the drink...
- gavintlgold, on 03/08/2008, -0/+3I meant those repos. Luckily, though, I got the update already :) YAY!
- thushan, on 03/08/2008, -0/+3Cheers!
- sloppychris, on 03/08/2008, -0/+3Have you tried a virtual machine? I used to use VirtualBox for Photoshop and Illustrator, now it's just Illustrator!
- WWWWolf, on 03/08/2008, -0/+3Yup, I rest easy knowing my DOS games work in DOSBox for all eternity. I'll rest even easier when I know my Windows games still work for all eternity. =)
- Camouflage, on 03/07/2008, -0/+3No, it doesn't work for me. If you want that this application be better supported under wine, please file a bug report at bugs.winehq.org (there are no bugs associated with this application yet).
- sloppychris, on 03/08/2008, -0/+2I know we *want* it gone. To me, windows within a virtual machine with one application installed in linux is more gone than dual-booting or not using linux at all.
- daradib, on 03/08/2008, -0/+2A GNU/Linux system running Wine running a CoLinux system running Wine running CoLinux running Wine . . .
- fr34k5h0w, on 03/08/2008, -1/+3Seeing the reaction on her face when she opens the box: priceless.
- muep, on 03/08/2008, -0/+2I think there will be a Wine 0.9.100, if they don't get their 1.0 blocker bugs fixed before that.
- dtfinch, on 03/08/2008, -1/+3I wonder if it'll run on CoLinux.
- koick, on 03/08/2008, -0/+2And so when will Codeweavers finally give us an update????
- theaceoffire, on 03/08/2008, -0/+2Step 1: Put a hole in the box.
- srg13, on 03/08/2008, -0/+2I suppose it will be useful for legacy apps when that time comes
- Ademan, on 03/08/2008, -0/+1Except paying for crossover is actually paying for further wine development... so do it! (if you feel the itch to pay for your software that is)
- Ademan, on 03/08/2008, -0/+1Well they're not usually up to date, like gavintlgold said, the repos are behind... 0.9.56 just made it into the repositories yesterday or the day before, and by then 0.9.57 had already been released. I'm not complaining though, it's much nicer to have a package made for you than building it yourself and sticking it in the /usr/local tree... Beggars can't be choosers.
- snowblindnz, on 03/07/2008, -1/+2any easy way to upgrade current installs?
Using ubuntu.. - inactive, on 03/08/2008, -0/+1Not if people help out and Companies like Google or IBM lend a hand....
- Ademan, on 03/08/2008, -0/+1no vincentweber is right, wine is an emulator according to the "dictionary definition", however people tend to associate the word emulator with huge overhead and emulation of the entire hardware architecture, which wine does not do. Wine Is Not an Emulator is an attempt to distance itself from the "common" definition, the full emulation type thing.
- sinatosk, on 03/08/2008, -2/+3no...... because that's still virtually using Windows... we want Windows GONE.... like GONE GONE GONE you know? :p
I meant to reply to sloppychris - gavintlgold, on 03/08/2008, -0/+1hmm... good idea. I checked out git version of wine but it was broken, never thought about the released source :P dumb me :D
Luckily, wine 0.9.57 was packaged for Ubuntu already today. - sloppychris, on 03/08/2008, -0/+1Why do you need Ubuntu to use the repository?
- inactive, on 03/08/2008, -0/+1pay for it = support
- usingpond, on 03/07/2008, -0/+1Is there a way to put this into Crossover, or do we have to wait for Codeweavers to update too?
- inactive, on 08/26/2008, -0/+1Anyone care to explain why I am being dugg down? I stated the fact that many people were confused about and provided a valid reference.
- SpyDerMann, on 03/15/2008, -0/+1I'd rather donate to the wine project directly. paying for Crossover is IMO supporting a software which restricts its usage to only those who pay. (and it's the same with cedega)
- SpyDerMann, on 03/15/2008, -0/+1joe users still need a windows-like OS. That's why I support ReactOS!
