Dear Mike, dear List, this is a first shot for XMail Manager LE under Wine/Linux:
(short version: took some work, didn't work ;-) ) my system: Debian-testing, Linux kernel 2.6.6-1-k7 (from Debian), AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2400+, 256 MB RAM (sorry for the '(tm)', just copy/pasted from /proc/cpuinfo ;-) ) wine: libwine 0.0.20040615-1 Windows Emulator (Library) libwine-cil 0.3-3 WINE bindings for Mono libwine-print 0.0.20040615-1 Windows Emulator (Printing Module) wine 0.0.20040615-1 Windows Emulator (Binary Emulator) wine-utils 0.0.20040615-1 Windows Emulator (Utilities) winesetuptk 0.7-1 Windows Emulator (Configuration and Setup To Installer did not work: after checking Windows version and other stuff, a window showed up telling me: '1155: File C:\Temp\INSTMSIA.EXE not found' and wine failed with return code 130 I tried to install the software on a WinNT 4.0 SP6a test machine, setup worked. Starting the app did not.(yes, I _did_ read the sysreq) So I took the content of the dir 'Alouria\XMail Manager LE', stuffed it into a .zip and unpacked it in the wine dir. Firing up XmailMgrLE.exe directly did not work because of some missing ..dlls: MSVBVM60.DLL was missing, I downloaded it from www.dll-files.com and put it in wine's 'C:\Windows\System' VB6DE.DLL from http://msdn.microsoft.com/vbasic/downloads/tools/IPDK5down.aspx aka 'Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 International Package and Deployment Kit (IPDK)' http://download.microsoft.com/download/vb60ent/ipdkeng/6.0/W9XNT4/EN-US/ipdk.exe after a funky error message, it created a directory 'IPDK' in the wine root directory (as Windows would call it: 'C:\') containing some further dirs for some languages. From there I copied all .dlls to wine's 'C:\Windows\System' directory. OLEAUT32.DLL resides in wine's 'Windows\System' but was searched for in 'C:\Program Files\Alouria\XMail Manager LE' so I copied that there. after all that done, 'Wine exited with a successful status' but no window :-( just as on the NT machine ... Installing Windows Installer in wine fails due to some funky permission problems that are not realy there according to the filesystem ... I'm working on it ... BTW: It seems to be written in VB. I am neither programmer, nor Windows expert, but could it be ported to mono (http://www.mono-project.com/about/index.html) ? So it would be platform independent, just like XMail :-) Goesta -- Wiener Hilfswerk - IT Staff we are a NPO offering social services locally in Vienna A-1072 Vienna, AUSTRIA, Schottenfeldgasse 29 Phone: ++43 1 512 36 61 DW 407 / Fax ++43 1 512 36 61 33 -- Attached file included as plaintext by Ecartis -- -- File: signature.asc -- Desc: Dies ist ein digital signierter Nachrichtenteil -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iQEVAwUAQRNKJ+EKFiIqAG4fAQKnpgf+Oib6yUArG0ix+QyWaDlPU6ed1xBaCrk3 ZTRCYKxfwJdXQ4vg5I7lG66PR7laj4I1eCLQOBSNvVtv5pMBRObtjISSKXzxZG8h 13EhNm+w2obA5geCYGtChcBw5orncLvoFrhDh1ogohoH4MycurUTE2TFFhc5UqPf 6i/Ve8AfVZXQOkBBl3WsWhOALbMmss0Hxqyl6ARGzFxXvF7iVKEWL8uonI6/Ajuy M1X6OeFlQrSk26t5N/XCfUeQi7OscYUH3VVHe7hqyK0/kQX01Llz7WboTLu1vXaZ hgvXr3HbEbizPCT1X9DVelcrlwCC1DaBc3aUYqGoaXzSRIR/jlK+7A== =dMqm -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
