[opensuse] ADding a Patch for a WINE app in 12.2
Hi All, Having just upgraded to openSUSE 12.2, I have gotten most of it to work well so far. There is one application I use which is important to my work, called Evernote, and I run it in wine. In 12.1, it would synchronize with the server; in 12.2, it does not synchronize. I posted this on the forums and was directed to this bug report: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30598 In the bug report there is a lot about adding packages and attachments, or installing an earlier version of openssl. Apparently openssl needs to be .98 or earlier, or there is a particular patch to install. The problem I am facing now is, how do I install a patch for a windows application run in wine? Here is the link for the patch: http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=41438&action=edit Is this patch a patch for wine? If so, do I need to make a whole new package and build it, and then install it as a patch for wine using zypper install? I don't know yet how to make packages using rpmbuild, but I had a 15 minute crash course the other day in the beginnings of how to do that. So I am ready to rise to the challenge, but I want to make sure I am on the right path. I don't need step by step instructions here - I can try and figure that out through searching and reading. However, I would like to know if I am on the right track - to use the .diff attachment and build a patch for wine using rpmbuild, then install that patch and see if it solves the problem. I am running wine-1.5.6-2.1.2.x86_64 in openSUSE 12.2 on my laptop (see below). -- G.O.

There are two linux apps in current development, nixnote and everpad, available on sourceforge.com. Why not use one of them?

Thanks for pointing those out. I will definitely have to take a look at them. I also saw that there is one called "nevernote". Is that the same as everpad? One of the things I am dealing with is that many of my clients use evernote on windows and macbook machines and part of my motivation is to have a compatible product, so that I can advise them on the useful features of the application. However, I do have an excellent working version of virtualbox, so perhaps running the linux clone when I am in linux and having the evernote app for the virtualbox windows xp machine will be sufficient. I will consider all. -- G.O.

As to the firefox plugin, I am already using it. It works great! Thanks! As to nixnote, I have looked it up and downloaded the .deb file for Ubuntu, and I tried to run alien to build an rpm.

why run alien to build an rpm instead of just dl'ing the rpm ???

needs root perms, did you run as root

instead of mukking around with alien, dl the rpm and be done with it. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Oops, my mistake. Thanks, I found the rpm and installed it. Will get familiar with it now. Thanks for the tip! -- G.O.

I have installed the nixnote rpm and it was running fine, but one time when I went to update a note, something went wrong and now it won't synchronize. The developer posted a patch and told me that will fix the problem. However, it is in .jar format. What do I do with a .jar format file that contains a patch for another program? Do I just run in a konsole java -jar nixnote.jar? Also, will this affect how java runs in other programs on my computer? -- G.O.

I ran java -jar nixnote.jar in a konsole and I got this message: no main manifest attribute, in nixnote.jar I checked the .jar archive, and there is a META-INF folder in it with a MANIFEST.MF file in that. That file has one line in it: Manifest-Version: 1.0 Any idea how to fix the .jar archive? -- G.O.

I did find out how to fix the .jar archive. It was a replacement for the nixnote.jar that was in /usr/share/nixnote. Once I replaced it the synchronization began working again. -- G.O.

Hi George, The patch mentioned and the correct solution is a Wine patch, building it into an RPM requires a bit of packaging knowledge though. I would wait until the patch is in a upstream Wine release (hopefully soon) and take the next release from Emulators:Wine when this happens.
