    Wine HowTo

    - -

    Before you install Wine, make sure that there is no previous Wine -installation on your system, either from a package or from source. If you -haven't yet installed Wine, you should be fine. See the -Removing old Wine versions -chapter in the User Guide for details.

    - - -

    Many Linux distributions come with an included Wine package, but due to -Wine's rapid development rate these are usually old and sometimes broken -versions. It is best to uninstall included package versions and update to the -latest Wine version available here.

    - -

    Ready-made, updated binary packages for Wine can be found at the WineHQ -downloads page here. In addition, full -source code is available for both the current Wine development tree and every -Wine release here. For help with -installing from a package or from source, please consult the Getting Wine -chapter of the User guide -here.

    - -

    As of Wine release 20050628 we have transitioned away from the config file and -now place these values in registry files found in your .wine directory. -Winecfg (wine configurator) in conjunction with regedit (registry editor) are -two graphical front ends that makes changing registry values easier for end user's. -Winecfg while still beta software can be used for basic configuration and optimizations, -more advanced users may wish to use regedit to make changes that winecfg isn't capable of performing.

    - -

    If you are upgrading don't forget to update your registry using the wineprefixcreate command. -This will ensure that you have all default registry values set.

    - -

    Note to Debian users: The packages included in the main -distribution are currently very out of date. We're working on having the -latest packages available officially from Debian's servers, but until then we -suggest you install the latest Wine by using our apt repository here. Ubuntu users can install the latest -Wine packages by using one of the repositories from the Ubuntu backports project -.

    How to help get applications working in Wine

    - -

    If you want to help get an application working in Wine, the first thing -you should do is register yourself in the -applications database and use one -of your votes to indicate that you'd like more effort to be spent on -the application. Every once in a while, a Wine developer will finish a -project and look for something to do - combing through the higher voted -apps to find one that people need work on is a great way to spend one's -time and fill up a todo list.

    - -

    If the application that you want working is not listed in the -applications database, there is an easy to use form available for you to -add it. If the application is in the database, but -lacks a maintainer, you should consider becoming one. If you are -familiar with Wine and have a desire to test the application and help get -or keep it working, please apply by clicking the link in the application's -page. Each application should have a supermaintainer, and, if different -versions of the application are substantially different (such as in -Internet Explorer), each subversion should have a maintainer. Please -don't feel deterred by the need to apply to become a maintainer - the -application form is largely a formality to prevent abuse and we can -virtually guarantee your acceptance.

    - -

    If you are the developer or publisher of the application, you -obviously have a very big incentive to help get your application working -under Wine. Fortunately, there are many options available to you other -than reporting bugs and hoping someone will fix them. By far the easiest -way is to simply send free copies of your software to Wine developers and -hope they'll take an interest in getting it working. You'd be amazed how -effective this approach can be, particularly for games. An alternative -option, perhaps more effective and expensive, is to pay Wine developers -for their work on your application, either directly through a negotiated -contract or indirectly by posting a bounty. CodeWeavers, a major Wine -developer, offers a special section for pledges at -their compatibility -center website. The most direct method, however, is to help develop -Wine itself and contribute code directly, which is exactly what Corel did -for WordPerfect several years ago. In any case, making a post on the -Wine developers email -list can go a long way.

    - -

    If your application doesn't work:

    - -

    If your application experiences problems in a particular area, or fails -to even run at all, there are a number of steps you can take to help us. -The most important thing is to find out where exactly the application is -failing. To diagnose application problems, the first step is to run the -program from the console using Wine, rather than from a gui shortcut. -This will allow Wine to output error messages to the console, the -understanding of which are key to solving the problem and getting the -application to work.

    - -

    An application may not work because Wine doesn't yet fully implement -one of the DLL files the application is trying to use. If you encounter -a DLL not found error, or see a lot of "FixMe:" messages while running the -application in Wine, this is likely the case. When this occurs, you can -try using native (non-Wine) DLL files in place of Wine's builtin ones. -Check the application database page for the program. There may be -special configuration options or instructions for installing native DLL -files there that you can try to get the application working. For -further configuration help, please see the -Running -Wine section of the User Guide.

    - -

    If the application still doesn't work, it's probably due to a bug or -deficiency in Wine and we'd like to hear about it. Please see the reporting bugs page for instructions -on how to best report bugs with applications. Alternatively, if you're -a programmer, we'd really like it if you tried to help us directly; -please read the -getting -started with Wine development guide if you're interested.

    - -

    If your application does work, but with some difficulty:

    - -

    Sometimes, applications run under Wine but don't function quite as -smoothly as they do in windows. They may have display errors, a feature -may be broken, or they may run unusually slow. These applications should -receive a lower rating from their maintainers ("bronze" or "garbage") in -the Application's Database, depending on the degree of difficulty -encountered.

    - -

    If you have found a way to make an application work that is more -complicated than simply installing it, please share that information by -posting on the application's page in the database. If you are the -maintainer for the application, please post the instructions in a -"howto" which will appear inside green bars at the top of the -application's page.

    - -

    If your application used to work, but has since broken in a new -version of Wine:

    - -

    Wine is a large and complex project, composed of many files written -by different authors. Sometimes, an attempt to change a file and expand -support for one application will unexpectedly cause another application -to stop functioning. These changes are known as "regressions", and they -are unfortunately sometimes found in the Wine source code because the -author of a patch that causes a regression is quite simply unaware of it. -Since the Wine developers can't possibly test every application with every -patch, we have to rely on the community to inform us of when regressions -occur so that the problem can be easily identified and ultimately fixed. -Without community involvement, regressions can go unfixed for potentially -very long periods of time.

    - -

    If your application has experienced a regression, please try and -provide us with as much information as you can about when and how it -broke. This allows us to isolate the exact thing we screwed up in the -code and provide a fix. Please provide as much as you know about which -version of Wine worked, and which version didn't, including the version -number and how you installed it (from source, binary packages, etc.) -Finally, please post these things in the Application Database page for the -application.

    - -

    If you wish to be extremely helpful, you can try to isolate the exact -patch which broke your application. This takes quite a bit of time and -effort, but it is quite simply the best way to get your application -working again. When it comes to fixing regressions, the only thing more -helpful to the Wine developers than knowing exactly which patch caused a -regression is receiving a fix for the patch itself. For help with -isolating problem patches, please see the documentation on -regression -testing.
