Hello,
I'm trying to run WinWord 6.0. (And may be the whole Office 4.2 suite
one day...)
A few years ago, I had great success with this. I was able to open Word,
to write letters, etc...
Then I stopped working with Wine out of time, and now, I'd like to set
this up again to get rid of a DOS PC that keeps on crashing (I must keep
Word6.0, upgrading is not an issue)
I just grabbed Wine' last cvs, and tried it.
However, I cannot manage to make Word even start : (In fact the window
appears, with the right set of menus, the aboutbox appears, then an
'error' dialogbox with no content appears, and everything freezes then)

Read "documentation/fonts" how to install this font manually.

I'm not frigthened by the 'fixme' information that I already knew, but
the 'err' line with SHELL trying to load twice puzzles me. So does the
'cannot open shared object file'
I understood a lot of things changed in the internals of Wine since the
last time I tried :-)). But, AFAIC, it seems that I have a regression
here, and I cannot explain why.
I made a few other tests, still 16 bits code (winfile, etc...), and it
seems very unstable with my configuration.
One thing that occurs frequently is the following exception :
err:win32:EnterCriticalSection Critical section 0x40290dfc wait timed
out, retrying (60 sec)
I do not understand why does it call 32bits code ? I only have an
'out-of-the-box' windows 3.11 (workgroup) installation, without WIN32S
(only 2 directories : windows and windows/system) and I may be wrong but
I always thought win311 was 32bits-free.
So, obviously, there is a misconfiguration of mine here.
Can someone point me to the problem, or give me the instruction on how
to debug this ?
Thanks a lot !
=========================================================================
Here is my configuration :
PII 400MHz, 256Mo RAM.
Linux 2.2.14 (RedHat 6.2 distribution)
Windows 3.11 freshly installed on a DOS PC, then copied to my $HOME/PC/
directory
Office 4.2 freshly installed on the same DOS PC, then copied to my
$HOME/PC directory
Wine configured with '--with-x'
Wine compiled with the following flags : CFLAGS='-O9 -funroll-loops
-ffast-math -malign-double -mcpu=pentiumpro -march=pentiumpro
-fomit-frame-pointer -fno-exceptions'
Standard installation in '/usr/local/bin'
Standard configuration file, modified to point on my directories.
Default Wine registry set.
User root or standard user.
I also tried on the DOS PC, with an out-of-the-box RedHat 6.2 dual-boot
install, with the same results.
I want to add that, of course, the DOS PC works fine (it crashes once a
day, this is fairly normal for windows 3.11 ;-))) )
