CodeWeavers скоро выпустит CrossOver Wine для Android

До конца текущего года CodeWeavers обещает выпустить tech preview CrossOver для Android, а также сделать соответствующий программный код доступным для Wine.

Основными пользователями CrossOver на текущий момент являются владельцы Mac, несмотря на то, что это ПО также доступно для Linux. Впрочем, ситуация может измениться в будущем в пользу Android, если CrossOver станет популярным на этой платформе.

CodeWeavers сообщает что изначально CrossOver будет совместим только с Android x86, и не будет работать на процессорах ARM (хотя возможность поддержки этих CPU в будущем вызывает сомнения). Это значит, что CrossOver/Wine позволит запускать Windows приложения только на Android устройствах, использующих процессоры Intel.

Представитель CodeWeavers также напомнил, что все еще ведутся работы над поддержкой DirectX 11, дающие возможность запускать новейшие Windows игры в Mac и Linux, однако пока поддержка всех функций D3D11 еще не реализована.

CodeWeavers CrossOver 14 für eine bequeme Nutzung von Wine

Viele Linux und Mac Nutzer haben noch irgendein Windows Programm mit dem sie fast täglich arbeiten müssen. Die meisten nutzen dafür Wine, dass diese Programme mit unterschiedlicher Erfolgsrate auf ihrem neuen *nix System laufen lässt. Leider gibt es für Wine weder Garantie oder Support für bestimmte Programme, noch gibt es diesen Support von den Entwicklern aus der Community. Aber es gibt ja noch CrossOver.

CodeWeavers ist seit Jahren der finanzielle Hauptunterstützer von Wine, bieten eine angepasste Wine Version an und geben sogar Support für verschiedene Programme (einige Spiele, gewisse Produktivitätssoftware und einige Hilfsprogramme).

Für viele Nutzer ist Wine genau das was sie brauchen und auch noch kostenlos. Aber für die, die noch eine helfende Hand wollen, da sie es sich die Konfiguration ihrer Wine Installation für ihre Bedürfnisse nicht zutrauen, ist CrossOver ein guter Kompromiss.

Für 59,95 USD bietet CrossOver sowohl ein automatisiertes Setup für viele Programme, als auch eine Integration in den Paketmanager um Abhängigkeiten von Wine zu beziehen (z.B. Codecs, mp3 und mpeg Bibliotheken oder bestimmte Schriftarten).

Der Käufer kann auch Telefonsupport, der direkt von CodeWeavers kommt, dazu bestellen um Programme zum laufen zu kriegen. Zudem fließt jeder Kauf von CrossOver in die weitere Entwicklung von Wine ein, da viele Entwickler und Mitwirkende für CodeWeavers arbeiten. Jede Fehlerbehebung die sie entwickeln, „egal wie winzig“, geht direkt an Wine. Mit dem Kauf von CrossOver unterstützt man also Wine.

 

 

Für mich persönlich ist das beste Feature die Integration in den Paketmanager. Alle meine Programme, wie MS Office, World of Warcraft, Warcraft 3 und andere funktionieren gut in Wine.

Aber immer wenn ich eine neue Distro ausprobiere muss ich auch wieder alle Abhängigkeiten installieren (wie z.B. die 32-Bit Version von gstreamer codecs, libmpg, mp3 Unterstützung, …).

Aber mit CrossOver werde ich gefragt ob ich die Abhängigkeiten installieren möchte sobald ich versuche ein Programm zu installieren das diese braucht.

 

 

 

Für erfahrene Nutzer gibt es vielleicht keinen direkten Vorteil CrossOver zu kaufen, aber für diejenigen die nicht so technisch versiert sind, oder die dem Wine Projekt helfen möchten, für die ist der CrossOver ein einfacher weg sich und der Wine Community zu helfen.

 

 

CrossOver hat es geschafft seit Jahren relativ gut zu funktionieren. Selbst CrossOver Office 5 von vor über 10 Jahren sowie CrossOver Games, welche dann in CrossOver integriert wurden.

How Im Earning My Beer part 3

The final piece is getting Wine Test Daily to run automatically. That means, it should run when I'm not here, whenever Wine has been updated. Sure, I can reach over and start all of the tests on each system here at CodeWeavers every day when I appear at work but the fact that I can have my systems setup to do it for me is more than appreciated. It's one of the best features of wt-daily, it checks to see if it needs to run. It stores the last git commit number in a file and whenever it's called, it compares the current git commit with the last one it used. If they are different, wt-daily runs a new set of tests.

WineHQ gets commits a little after I arrive at work. I'm happy to manually start the tests but often times losing my Macs for an hour to automatic tests is bad. I've setup the tests to take place after I leave for the day and am pleased to report that those tests have run overnight successfully several times. This part will be more technical on the Mac OS and only have a little work to do with wt-daily.

Let's finish setting up wt-daily first.

Wineskin 2.6.1 has now been released

I've released an update for Wineskin ... version 2.6.1.
I think I've fixed all the Mac OSX El Capitan bugs and it should work fine on 10.6 - 10.11 now.

* important point.  This has to change how an engine is installed in a wrapper slightly.  If you update a wrapper to 2.6.1 and it does not work right, please reinstall the engine in the wrapper.  You can just use Change Engine and install the same one back in, but it will install it correctly for 2.6.1 and then things should work right.  Newly made wrappers should have no issues.
Please test 2.6.1 and let me know of any issues.  I'll try to fix any new issues that may be found for a 2.6.2 soon if its needed.

You'll be able to get 2.6.1 in Wineskin Winery as an updated wrapper.
Sorry for the long delay, and not having these issues fixed before El Capitan was released.
If you get stuck with a wrapper that just goes "Cannot be opened" then Right click in the wrapper and select Open the first time you run it.

Manually Installed Item Downloads

 If you’d like versions of Engines, Wrappers, etc...  you can install to Wineskin Winery manually instead of using its built in downloader, they are all available at the Mediafire.com Wineskin download location.

Mediafire.com Wineskin download location

https://www.mediafire.com/folder/8p4vcab6414gv/

Also, all engines and files ever made for any version of Wineskin are kept there!

If your looking for older engines, or any older files, this is the place to look.

*note Wineskin Wrappers 2.5+ requires WS8+ based engines.

You’ll soon be able to run #Windows programs on select #Android devices thanks to #WINE

While most Linux purists prefer to stick to programs natively designed to run on their favorite distros, there are times when a user runs into a wall. Maybe they absolutely need Microsoft Office, or perhaps their favorite game just isn’t Linux compatible. That’s where WINE and CrossOver come in handy, making it possible to run some Windows applications with relative ease. And now that same magic is making its way over to the world of Android.

For those that don’t know, WINE is an application layer that fills in the missing ‘bits’ that aren’t found on Linux and other non-Windows platforms (okay, an obvious oversimplification.. but you get the idea), allowing Windows programs to work at essentially the same speed as they would on Microsoft’s own OS. How well these programs work varies from nearly perfect to buggy as all get out.

Crossover is coming to Android by the end of this year, with WINE to follow sometime shortly after.

What WINE isn’t is an emulator, and is instead billed as a “compatibility layer”. In fact, WINE actually stands for “Wine Is Not an Emulator”. As for CrossOver? This is the commercial side of WINE, with more app/game specific optimizations. CrossOver actually funds WINE, and in return utilizes WINE’s progress to help further its own goals.

So back to the main topic here: Crossover is coming to Android by the end of this year, with WINE to follow sometime shortly after. It’s unclear how Crossover and WINE might differ from their Linux counterparts, but the end goal is the same: the ability to run popular Windows programs on your Android device. Considering that many traditional Windows programs aren’t designed with touch in mind, we imagine this will be more useful for tablet users that want to improve their productivity and aren’t afraid of attaching a keyboard and mouse to do it.
