9 Uncompress and untar this archive into the directory of your
10 choice. This release requires a Linux version 0.99 pl13 kernel
15 If you use BSD make rather than GNU make, you must apply the patches
16 in the file "bsdmake.patch". This release requires NetBSD-current.
20 To build Wine, first do a "make depend" and then a "make". The
21 executable "wine" will be built. "wine" will load and run Windows'
22 executables. You must have a file "wine.ini" in the current directory,
23 your homedirectory, or in the path specified by the environment
24 variable WINEPATH. Multiple directories in WINEPATH should be seperated
25 by semi-colons and NOT by colons!
27 You must specify the entire path to the executable, or a filename only
28 (using the path= statement in wine.ini as the search path)
30 For example: to run Windows' solitaire:
32 export WINEPATH=/etc;/usr/windows
34 wine sol (using the path= statement in wine.ini
35 wine sol.exe as the search path)
37 wine c:\\windows\\sol.exe (using a dosfilename)
39 wine /usr/windows/sol.exe (using a unixfilename)
41 Have a nice game of solitaire, but be careful. Emulation isn't perfect.
42 So, occassionally it will crash.

209 - I have placed things into sub-directories. The organization is
210 not finalized. I imagine that the directory structure will
211 change as is necessary. Files in the ./misc directory need
212 to be split apart and placed in apropriate directories.
213 - Tons of code from Alexandre. He has constructed the framework
214 for handling GDI objects. He has also provided code for DCEs.
215 - Local heap functions have been completed.

228 - I changed all GLOBAL_ names to Global.
230 WHAT'S NEW with version 0.1.1:
231 - I have completed global memory allocation, but I don't like it.
232 It is not 100% compatible with Windows. I need some more kernel
233 modifications for 100% compatibility.
234 - Alexandre Julliard has provided written better emulation for
235 the Windows message queue.
237 WHAT'S NEW with version 0.1.0:

250 - Added global memory allocation routines (GlobalAlloc, GlobalFree,
252 - Bitmap resource loading into global memory.
254 WHAT'S NEW with version 0.0.3:
255 - Fixed bug with sector sizes.
256 - Registers at program startup are now set correctly.
257 - Segment fixups for relocatable-segment internal entry points.
258 - Fixed bug in DOS PSP structure.
259 - Some resource loading is done.
260 - Added "return" ordinal type to build program.

265 - Again thanks to Eric Youngdale for some very useful comments.
266 - The Windows startup code created by Micrsoft C 7.0 now runs
268 - Added a new patch to the kernel to increase the usable size of
269 the ldt to the full 32 entries currently allowed.
270 - Imported name relocations are now supported.
271 - Source code for my infamous test program is now included.
272 - A handful of basic Windows functions are now emulated. See
273 "kernel.spec" for examples of how to use the build program.
275 WHAT'S NEW with version 0.0.1:
277 - Eric Youngdale contributed countless improvements in memory
278 efficiency, bug fixes, and relocation.
279 - The build program has been completed. It now lets you specify
280 how the main DLL entry point should interface to your emulation
281 library routines. A brief description of how to build these
282 specifications is included in the file "build-spec.txt".
283 - The code to dispatch builtin DLL calls is complete, but untested.
287 - Segment fixup code completion.
288 - Trap and handle DOS and DPMI calls.
289 - GlobalAlloc of code segments.
290 - Rewrite global memory support including kernel mods to allow
291 application to mess with page map.
292 - Handle self-loading applications.
294 - Lots and lots of API fiunctions.
298 The documentation for the build program is in the file build-spec.txt
