This is meant as generic instructions in case an AppDB entry
|
|
for a certain program doesn't exist.

|
<li> Make sure your Wine release is recent.</li><p>
|
|
|

<ul>
|
|
<li><a href="http://www.winehq.org/site/download"> Official WineHQ builds</a>
|
|
for Linux Red Hat, Mandrake, SuSE, Slackware and FreeBSD, hosted by
|
|
<a href="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=6241">SourceForge.net</a>.</li>
|
|
<li><a href="http://www.winehq.org/site/cvs">Official WineHQ Source</a> for information on how to
|
|
build and install Wine via source read over the

<a href="http://www.winehq.org/site/howto"> Wine HowTo</a>.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
<li> Run your program (something like ‘wine yourprogram.exe’, or tell your file manager to open .exe files with 'wine').</li><p>
|
|
|
|
<li> If it gives an error about missing files, or does not start at all, try running it from the directory where it was installed.</li><p>
|
|
|
|
<li> Many newer games contain copy protection, which is often not supported in Wine. Cracks are available from sites such as <a href="http://www.megagames.com/trainers.html" target="_blank">MegaGames</a>.</li><p>
|
|
|
|
<li> In case of failure, try different builtin, native DLL settings:
|
|
Run Wine with ‘WINEDEBUG=+loaddll wine yourprogram.exe’ to find out which
|
|
DLLs are loaded as native or builtin.
|
|
Then make sure appropriate native versions are in the
|
|
c:\windows\system32 directory as configured in Winecfg’s DLL overrides tab. There are four options you can choose from when setting
|
|
dll overrides.</li><p>
