11 Linux version 0.99.13 or above
13 FreeBSD-current or FreeBSD 1.1
15 To build Wine, first do a "./Configure" and then a "make". The
16 executable "wine" will be built. "wine" will load and run 16-bit
23 Wine requires you to have a file /usr/local/etc/wine.conf (you can
24 supply a different name when configuring wine) or a file called .winerc
25 in your homedirectory.
27 The formatstyle of this config file is just like a windows .ini file.
29 Here's an explanation of each section:
33 format: <driveletter> = <rootdirectory>
36 This section is used to specify the root directory of each `dos'drive
37 as windows' applications require a dos/mswindows based diskdrive &
40 If you mounted you dos-partition as /dos and installed microsoft windows
41 in c:\windows than you should specify c=/dos in the drives section.
45 format: windows = <directory>
48 Used to specify an different windows directory.
50 format: system = <directory>
51 default: c:\windows\system
53 Used to specify an different system directory.
55 format: temp = <directory>
58 Used to specify a directory where windows applications can store temporary
61 format: path = <directories separated by semi-colons>
62 default: c:\windows;c:\windows\system
64 Used to specify the path which will be used to find executables and DLL's.
66 format: systemresources = <filename>
69 Used to specify the name of sysres.dll, a dll which is used by wine itself.
73 format: com[12345678] = <devicename>
76 Used to specify the devices which are used as com1 - com8.
80 format: lpt[12345678] = <devicename>
83 Used to specify the devices which are used as lpt1 - lpt8.
87 format: file = <filename or CON when logging to stdout>
90 used to specify the file which will be used as logfile.
92 format: exclude = <message names separated by semicolons>
95 Used to specify which messages will be excluded from the logfile.
97 format: include = <message names separated by semicolons>
100 Used to specify which messages will be included in the logfile.
106 When invoking wine, you must specify the entire path to the executable,
109 For example: to run Windows' solitaire:
111 wine sol (using the searchpath to locate the file)
114 wine c:\\windows\\sol.exe (using a dosfilename)
116 wine /usr/windows/sol.exe (using a unixfilename)
118 note: the path of the file will also be added to the path when
119 a full name is supplied on the commandline.
121 Have a nice game of solitaire, but be careful. Emulation isn't perfect.
122 So, occassionally it will crash.
126 4. EXAMPLE CONFIGFILE

483 - Again thanks to Eric Youngdale for some very useful comments.
484 - The Windows startup code created by Micrsoft C 7.0 now runs
486 - Added a new patch to the kernel to increase the usable size of
487 the ldt to the full 32 entries currently allowed.
488 - Imported name relocations are now supported.
489 - Source code for my infamous test program is now included.
490 - A handful of basic Windows functions are now emulated. See
491 "kernel.spec" for examples of how to use the build program.
493 WHAT'S NEW with version 0.0.1:
495 - Eric Youngdale contributed countless improvements in memory
496 efficiency, bug fixes, and relocation.
497 - The build program has been completed. It now lets you specify
498 how the main DLL entry point should interface to your emulation
499 library routines. A brief description of how to build these
500 specifications is included in the file "build-spec.txt".
501 - The code to dispatch builtin DLL calls is complete, but untested.
