Need help with wine
Hi,
I have installed Kubuntu(KDE) and I used synaptic to download and install wine 0.2xxxx that was listed, but I really have never used this emulator and don't know how..Has anyone used it in ubuntu/kubuntu? I would appreciate some help and or suggestions..I would like to ultimately run DVD shrink,video inspector and other small windows progs..I have looked online but become even more confused with all the different information... Thanks in advance, jolphil |
I use different distro and compiled wine from source so available parts of wine for me may wary (or may not :), but take a look at wine man page
Code:
#man wine Code:
wine wine options /path/to/program program options Code:
wine /path/to/program |
All you should have to do is:
Code:
sudo apt-get install wine Code:
wine <installer>.exe Code:
wine <program>.exe |
very useful post m8
going to try that cheers |
Hi,
Thank you for the tips... I can get the programs I want to open but they cannot find the cdron..For example,DVDshrink can look at the DVD and then shrink the video to a smaller file size..It thus becomes important to be able to see the DVD drive or it will not work..Same idea for DVD decryptor and other windows programs that require reading the dvd drive.. Any suggestions? jolphil |
