Well, yes, that's how it looks in general, at least that's how it did for me. To run anything, you sometimes have to combine native/emulated DLL settings in ~/.wine/config; sometimes an already installed Windows OS is handy; sometimes you might want to use CrossOver Office plugin from CodeWeavers, which is told to make things simpler. > i have tried building wine-20040408, as well > as from cvs -with either gcc32 or gcc33 - and they both fail to make (i have > the make output in a file if anyone is interested). Don't use gcc32. Yes, ports@freebsd.org perhaps will be interested (of course if that was cvsupped ports tree). > last night, i installed > linux_base-8, and i now have rpm support on my box... should i try > installing a wine port for redhat8, You could do that, why not. For some time I've used binary Linux version of OpenOffice.org, for example, just because the native version was just being ported, and Linux binaries worked in a more stable way. > or try to build wine from linux source? There's no such thing as Linux source :) Wine for FreeBSD and Wine for Linux is built from a single source tree (as far as I know!) > please, i am trying so desperatly to get away from micro$oft, and just need > a little help... Have you tried VMware yet? It is a bit heavier than wine, but chances are it will work much better... ... unless you want to play games on it; in this case you might want to use Linux with VMware.
