.\" -*- nroff -*- .TH WINE 1 "September 1, 1995" "Version 9/1/95" "Windows Emulation" .SH NAME wine \- run Windows 3.x programs under Linux .SH SYNOPSIS .B wine [ .I options ] .I program_name [ .I arguments ] .SH DESCRIPTION .B wine invokes the Linux Windows emulator. .PP .B wine currently runs a number of games and small applications (approximately half of the applets and common games actually run), although the entire API has not been implemented. .PP See the files .B README, .B ChangeLog, .B configure, and the .B Makefile contained in the source distribution to compile .B wine. .SH REQUIREMENTS At present, .B wine will run under any Linux kernel more recent than 0.99.13, or under recent releases of NetBSD and FreeBSD. .PP .B X must be installed. .PP .B libXpm must be installed. (It is probably available from the same site .B wine was, or the sources may be FTP'd from ftp.x.org). .SH INSTALLATION To install .B wine, run "./configure", which will detect your specific setup and create the Makefiles. You can run "./configure --help" to see the available configuration options. Then do "make depend; make" to build the .B wine executable. .SH OPTIONS .TP .I -depth n Change the depth to use for multiple-depth screens .TP .I -desktop geom Use a desktop window of the given geometry .TP .I -display name Use the specified display .TP .I -iconic Start as an icon .TP .I -debug Enter the debugger before starting application .TP .I -language xx Set the language to .I xx (one of En, Es, De, No, Fr, Fi, Da) .TP .I -managed Create each top-level window as a properly managed X window .TP .I -name name Set the application name .TP .I -privatemap Use a private color map .TP .I -synchronous Turn on synchronous display mode .TP .I -backingstore Turn on backing store .TP .I -spy file Turn on message spying to the specified file .TP .I -debugmsg name[,name] Turn debugging messages on or off - for instance, .I -debugmsg +dll,+heap will turn on DLL and heap debugging messages. The full list is: all, accel, bitblt, bitmap, caret, catch, cdaudio, class, clipboard, clipping, combo, comm, cursor, dc, dialog, dll, dosfs, driver, edit, enum, event, exec, file, fixup, font, gdi, global, graphics, icon, int, key, keyboard, ldt, listbox, local, malloc, mci, mcianim, mciwave, mdi, menu, menucalc, message, metafile, midi, mmio, mmsys, mmtime, module, msg, nonclient, ole, palette, profile, prop, reg, region, relay, resource, scroll, selector, selectors, stress, syscolor, task, text, timer, toolhelp, utility, win, winsock. .TP .I -dll name Enables/disables built-in DLL's - starting wine with .I -dll -commdlg is probably a good idea. The full list of DLLs modifiable by this is: KERNEL, USER, GDI, WIN87EM, SHELL, SOUND, KEYBOARD, WINSOCK, STRESS, MMSYSTEM, SYSTEM, TOOLHELP, MOUSE, COMMDLG, OLE2, OLE2CONV, OLE2DISP, OLE2NLS, OLE2PROX, OLECLI, OLESVR, COMPOBJ, STORAGE, WINPROCS, DDEML .TP .I -allowreadonly Read only files may be opened in write mode .TP .I -enhanced Starts wine in Enhanced mode (not guaranteed to work yet) .PD 1 .SH PROGRAM/ARGUMENTS The program name may be specified in DOS format (C:\\WINDOWS\\SOL.EXE) or in Linux format (/msdos/windows/sol.exe). The program being executed may be passed arguments by adding them on to the end of the command line invoking .B wine (such as: wine "notepad C:\\TEMP\\README.TXT"). Note that the program name and its arguments .I must be passed as a single parameter, which is usually accomplished by placing them together in quotation marks. Multiple applications may be started by placing all of them on the command line (such as: wine notepad clock). .SH CONFIGURATION FILE .B wine expects a configuration file (/usr/local/etc/wine.conf), which should conform to the following rules. The actual file name may be specified during the execution of the .B configure script. Alternatively, you may have a .I .winerc file of this format in your home directory. .SH CONFIGURATION FILE FORMAT .B [drives] .br .I format: = .br default: none .br This section is used to specify the root directory of each .B DOS drive, since most Windows applications require a DOS/MS-Windows based disk drive & directory scheme. .br If you mounted your dos partition as .I /dos and installed Microsoft Windows in C:\\WINDOWS then you should specify .I c=/dos in the drives section. .PP .B [wine] .br .I format: windows = .br default: C:\\WINDOWS .br Used to specify a different Windows directory .PP .I format: system = .br default: C:\\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM .br Used to specify a different system directory .PP .I format: temp = .br default: C:\\TEMP .br Used to specify a directory where Windows applications can store temporary files. .PP .I format: path = .br default: C:\\WINDOWS;C:\\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM .br Used to specify the path which will be used to find executables and .DLL's. .PP .I format: symboltablefile = .br default: wine.sym .br Used to specify the path and file name of the symbol table used by the built-in debugger. .PP .B [serialports] .br .I format: com[12345678] = .br default: none .br Used to specify the devices which are used as com1 - com8. .PP .B [parallelports] .br .I format: lpt[12345678] = .br default: none .br Used to specify the devices which are used as lpt1 - lpt8. .PP .B [spy] .br .I format: file = .br default: none .br Used to specify the file which will be used as .B logfile. .PP .I format: exclude = .br default: none .br Used to specify which messages will be excluded from the logfile. .PP .I format: include = .br default: none .br Used to specify which messages will be included in the logfile. .SH SAMPLE wine.conf [drives] .br a=/mnt/fd0 .br c=/dos .br d=~/Wine .PP [wine] .br windows=c:\\windows .br system=c:\\windows\\system .br temp=c:\\temp .br path=c:\\windows;c:\\windows\\system;c:\\winapps\\word .br symboltablefile=/usr/local/lib/wine.sym .PP [serialports] .br com1=/dev/cua1 .br com2=/dev/cua1 .PP [parallelports] .br lpt1=/dev/lp0 .PP [spy] .br ;File=CON .br ;File=spy.log .br Exclude=WM_TIMER;WM_SETCURSOR;WM_MOUSEMOVE;WM_NCHITTEST; .br Include=WM_COMMAND; .SH AUTHORS .B Wine is available thanks to the work of Bob Amstadt, Dag Asheim, Martin Ayotte, Ross Biro, Erik Bos, Fons Botman, John Brezak, Andrew Bulhak, John Burton, Paul Falstad, Olaf Flebbe, Peter Galbavy, Ramon Garcia, Hans de Graaf, Charles M.

Some bugs of note, however, are that programs requiring VBRUNxxx.DLL are unreliable (with reports of some working), OLE is not in place, the internal COMMDLG support is not yet at 100% (although rapidly improving). Color support for other than 8bpp (256 colors) is currently flaky. .PP Currently, no directories in the path can have upper-case letters in them (ex. /msdos/driveC), as the conversions necessary to handle the msdos filename conventions currently cause them to be lost. .PP A partial list of applications known to work with .B wine include: sol, cruel, golf, clock, notepad, charmap, calc, and wzip11. The following URLs point to different success/testing lists: .br .I http://www.ifi.uio.no/~dash/wine/working-apps.html .br .I http://dutifp.twi.tudelft.nl:8000/wine/ .PP We would like to hear about what software does run under .B Wine, and such reports may be posted to .I comp.emulators.ms-windows.wine. .SH AVAILABILITY The most recent public version of .B wine can be ftp'ed from tsx-11.mit.edu in the /pub/linux/ALPHA/Wine/development directory. The releases are in the format 'Wine-yymmdd.tar.gz', or 'Wine-yymmdd.diff.gz' for the diff's from the previous release. .SH FILES .PD 0 .TP .I /usr/local/bin/wine The invoker program. .TP .I /usr/local/etc/wine.conf Main configuration file for wine. .TP .I ChangeLog Changes in Wine, since the beginning (most recent changes first) .TP .I configure Shell script to automatically generate Makefiles.
