Anyone had any luck getting "Kindle for PC" to run on OpenSuse via WINE ?
There are several internet posts that reference a minor "tweak" to wine (essentially changing the winecfg to windows98 ) and "Kindle for PC" supposedly works fine. I've done the the winecfg tweak on both my OpenSuse 11.2 desktop and my Ubuntu laptop with similar results.
The "Kindle for PC" program appears to install, an Icon shows up on the desktop, but when the icon is clicked - it tries to launch but crashes.
I tried with yesterdays updated Wine package (1.2rc2 aka 1.1.45_1.2rc2) and it is able to access my Kindle stuff. (and I am able to browse the Freakonomics book I bought ;) add the Wine repo: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Emulators:/Wine/openSUSE_11.2/ (replace 11.2 by 11.1 if you are using 11.1) Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
