Wine-Doors 0.2 first look

So, the last two days I’ve been hard at work coding on the 0.2 structure and user interface, the application layout is a lot simpler and I’ve completely decoupled the user interface from the core functionality, so you’ll be able to use wine-doors on the command line or qt or whatever, osx is being looked into and if you’d like to help out please get in touch. So this is a first look at 0.2, and it wouldn’t be complete without the obligatory screen shot. So here you go…



What I’ve been working on;

• Snazzy sidebar giving you access to available apps and installed bottles
• New home page, giving you access to news and info about wine-doors (nowhere near complete)
• Completely reworked internals, fewer hacks to get things to and from the UI all the modules are formed around a central core now
• Completely new glade file, with only the bits we need in it from now on!

So I’ve managed to get quite a lot done in the last few days and things have moved along nicely, I’m going to make a start on the home page and knock up some simple XML for delivering info to users, we should have something like a working bottle system coming along next, and a whole new preferences and folder layout. We’ve got so much to do to get 0.2 finished but without taking what we’ve learned, and the limitations of wine and wine-doors we’ve observed we’ll never make any progress. After 0.2 I think the core of wine-doors can pretty much remain the same, for as long as until someone wants to refactor huge portions of it again.
So we’ve got a heavy emphasis on bottles but some people may think the user interface is lacking… just you wait! I’ve got some awesome ideas for how this is going to play out so just bare with me while I churn out another 1000 or so lines of code. The really interesting stuff starts to happen in about a month or so when we get to work on the new packaging system. We’ve put quite a bit of thought into this and you can read through our work on the wiki, we’re open to suggestions in a lot of different areas, but we think we’ve got all the bases covered though.

Software Review Crossover Mac

I must admit being a bit skeptical when first hearing about Crossover Mac. For many years I have tried various solutions to make my Mac run PC programs for both professional and gaming reasons. So often, so much was promised and so little delivered. I was even one of those fools that allowed my mother to be convinced to buy a Mac with a built-in PC emulator card in it. It was a useless piece of rubbish, the card that is, that couldn't run a bloody thing.

What most convinced me to get in touch with the guys behind Crossover was their cheeky little video comparing their product to the other ways of getting Counterstrike 2 running for a bit of LAN party. Crossover naturally was the fastest. Anyone who loves FPS gaming, especially the online variety has a lot of respect for Counterstrike in its various forms. No purer form of multiplayer FPS exists and its no wonder its used frequently in the FPS professional leagues.

A review copy was offered of Crossover Mac and I enthusiastically installed it on my Macbook Pro. The program is very easy to install and the set-up is quite easy; even for the most neophyte of tweakers. To my great surprised installing PC programs is just as easy. It takes you through the "bottling" process and sorts everything out for you in easy to understand ways. I first started off with a Counterstrike package to see if that worked alright. It would have been silly to spend that much on any other products in the series as the "Orange Box" was about to be released.

For those of you who don't know the Orange Box consists of Half Life 2, HL2: Episode 1, HL2: Episode 2, the odd but fun Portal and Counterstrike 2. It is probably the best PC game value on the market. There is additional free programming associated with HL on the "Steam" online distribution system that is accessed quite easily with Crossover. HL2 and its offshoots all work very well indeed on Crossover. You might need a bit of tweaking with the set-up, but in no time you will find yourself blowing the smithereens out of the various nasties in the game. The pleasure of playing such a great game on my MacBook Pro knows no bounds.

Crossover Mac runs a myriad of other programs as well, including other games and well as many other "serious" programs as well. I understand that its quite useful to have this program if you do websites and don't have access to a PC. You can run IE on Crossover and check out how things work in that program.

The Crossover site has forums which can help you determine if the program you want or need to run works with the program yet and how well it does. There are people continually trying out new things to see if they work with the program. I will be trying to see if I can get Hellgate:London running on it. Needless to say some of the high-end programs and games are probably not going to run on Crossover.

Crossover Mac is the program for you if you think Bootcamp is just a bit too technical for your tastes. Well done to Codeweavers for finally developing an easy solution to running PC programs on the Mac.

Colour me impressed and I am sure the guys are hard at work on making this piece of kit even better. They do a Linux version as well.

Wine-Doors ditches IEs4Linux

From Wine-Doors site
We’ve ditched IEs4Linux, our reasons for this are many, mostly we couldn’t pull IE in as a dep, and the bottling arrangement would have made progress slow for us. We’ve used code from the original IEs4Linux script and trimmed it down and involved wine-doors dependencies rather than a full out overwriting of everything. We’ll probably still need to trim the registry down a bit, and we’ll offer another package for “FakeIE” soon so you can skirt around the problem if wine-gecko (the default html engine) won’t.

We’re involving downloads from various sources now, we’re hoping that linking to places like click-now.net isn’t a bad thing and it’ll get apps like photoshop out there much faster, also we’re driving business for adobe, maybe they’ll notice a sudden increase in CS2 sales…

In other news, Medal of Honor: Allied Assault and Quake4 have been added to the repos by Andy as reference packs for repackaging loki installers into wine-doors, these use native binaries and just use wine-doors as the conduit, these packages are being improved all the time and we’ll be adding more games like these later, re-adding ET:QW as a native application once we’ve gotten around some mojo-setup issues.

We’re concentrating on packages for now, and we’ll be bringing you updates on the feature set of 0.2 which is now in development.
