http://winehq.org/[Wine] is an open source implementation of the Windows
|
||||
API on top of X and OpenGL.
|
||||
|
||||
Wine emulates the Windows runtime environment by translating Windows system calls
|
||||
into POSIX-compliant system calls, recreating the directory structure of Windows systems,
|
||||
and providing alternative implementations of Windows system libraries,
|
||||
system services through https://wiki.winehq.org/Wineserver[wineserver].

|
||||
== Packages
|
||||
|
||||
Fedora's Wine packages are split up to allow for smaller installations.
|
||||
The `wine` meta package will bring with it the most important components
|
||||
of Wine.
|
||||
|
||||
Expert users may want to pick specific components from the list
|
||||
https://packages.fedoraproject.org/pkgs/wine/[here].
|
||||
|
||||
The current versions of the Wine packages can also be seen on the https://packages.fedoraproject.org/pkgs/wine/wine/[Fedora packages application].
|
||||
|
||||
[[configuration-files]]
|
||||
== Configurations files
|
||||
|
||||
The default wine configuration files is stored in your `$HOME` directory:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
~/.wine
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
TIP: but different and multiple prefixes can be used as descibed in the
|
||||
section wine prefix.
|
||||
|
||||
[[wine-desktop-files]]
|
||||
== WINE desktop files
|
||||
|
||||
Where Wine stored gnome _.desktop_ files?
|
||||
|
||||
There are stored in:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
/home/$USER/.local/share/applications/wine
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
[[gui-configuration-register]]
|
||||
== GUI for configure WINE Register (WINECFG)
|
||||
|
||||
Winecfg is a GUI configuration tool for Wine, designed to make life
|
||||
a little easier than editing the registry.
|
||||
|
||||
This *wine-utils* is provide by `wine-common`
|
||||
|
||||
What can you do with it?
|
||||
|
||||
You can do the following tasks:
|
||||
|
||||
* Windows Version, it comes with a default windows version
|
||||
* Libraries
|
||||
* Graphics
|
||||
* Desktop Integration
|
||||
* Drivers
|
||||
* Audio
|
||||
|
||||
WARNING: Some aplication don't allow/accept working with the default
|
||||
Windows version which wine offer by default like -> **Kindle Desktop
|
||||
Edition**.
|
||||
|
||||
[[wine-script]]
|
||||
== GUI WINE SCRIPT (WINETRICKS)
|
||||
|
||||
Winetricks is a helper script to download and install various
|
||||
redistributable runtime libraries needed to run some programs in Wine.
|
||||
These may include replacements for components of Wine using closed
|
||||
source libraries.
|
||||
|
||||
It not installed by default so:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
sudo dnf install winetricks
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You can install aplication and libraries and work's with register,
|
||||
stored and compiled by wine team, for example **Adobe Digital Edition**.
|
||||
|
||||
[[working-with-prefix]]
|
||||
== WINE PREFIX
|
||||
|
||||
A WINE prefix is a folder that contains all of the WINE configurations
|
||||
as well as all of the Windows pieces that WINE uses for compatibility,
|
||||
including libraries and a registry.
|
||||
|
||||
Some aplication need's 32 or 64 wine prefix, this can be done in the
|
||||
following way:
|
||||
|
||||
- Create a clean wine32/64 prefix:
|
||||
|
||||
* Where `xx` is 32 or 64 bits.
|
||||
* `.directory` is the directory which you can store the wine environment.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.directory" WINEARCH=winxx wine wineboot
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- Use the wine prefix created before:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
export WINEPREFIX=~/.directory
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
WARNING: This is just an example used as your needed.
|
||||
|
||||
- Install the aplications.
|
||||
|
||||
NOTE: as you can see you can have as many directories with diferents
|
||||
configuration.
