[opensuse] wine and new libraries
Hi, I just installed wine-0.9.31 for a proprietary application that is being said runs using wine-0.9.29 and up. However, it needs some libraries that are not part of wine. An example is Host.dll. I downloaded Host.dll from the net and saved it into /usr/lib/wine. After executing the application with wine, wine still complains that it cannot find it. After moving the libs to ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32 the application can be launched. There still seems to be a problem with the application, might that because the dll's are not correctly recognized/initialized by wine? How can I have those dll's installed systemwide in /usr/lib/wine and recognized by wine? -- TIA, Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Hi Richard, for me, this usually works with 1. winecfg 2. go to the tab "libraries" (or similar) 3. enter your library there as an override, which means that wine will use your library instead of using the builtin functionality for the purpose. hth+ kind regards Eberhard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

That looks promising, I'll give this a go. I'll let you know the result. -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Usually you could adjust the windows PATH environment variable, but I am not sure where to correctly set it. Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
