I used to use AWB for lists but now I am running on a Mac so I don't have it anymore. I still can generate lists with Catscan though, so you may want to check that tool out if you haven't already. On Mon, Dec 28, 2015 at 11:35 AM, Tito Dutta wrote: > In last 2 years I have

I have recently been able to make it work under WINE, and have updated the documentation page accordingly[1]. It did take a series of winetricks(1) incantations to get it to work. It's quite brittle. In particular, make sure you're specifying WINARCH=32. A. [1]

Yes, that's right, Wine, Q4Wine and PlayonLinux don't work. On 28 December 2015 at 16:09, Fæ wrote: > It's been several years since I used AWB for anything serious, precisely > because it only runs under Windows. > > The conventional advice is to run it in a windows emulator,

Re: [Wikimedia-l] AWB & Ubuntu: Can really someone help?

I have also managed to make it work under Wine on Ubuntu in the past, but I would stress: this is a HIGHLY frustrating process, it requires many rounds of updates and incantations that add up to literally hours of work. I would not encourage anyone to do it unless they are BOTH already familiar
