Google SketchUp 6 on Linux and FreeBSD with Wine

About Google SketchUp 6

Developed for the conceptual stages of design, Google SketchUp is a powerful yet easy-to-learn 3D software tool that combines a simple, yet robust tool-set with an intelligent drawing system that streamlines and simplifies 3D design. From simple to complex, conceptual to realistic, Google SketchUp enables you to build and modify 3D models quickly and easily. If you use Google Earth, Google SketchUp allows you to place your models using real-world coordinates and share them with the world using the Google 3D Warehouse.

Wine configuration

This is with a clean configuration directory and running in a 1024x768 virtual desktop.

$ winecfg

Once the .wine directory is built the configuration tool will start and you can set a virtul desktop in the graphics tab if you wish.

Installing Google SketchUp

This should work in both Linux and FreeBSD, though I've only tested this on FreeBSD...

Download SketchUp from here.

$ wine GoogleSketchUpWEN.exe




Google SketchUp first run

$ cd /home/tom/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Google/Google\ SketchUp\ 6
$ wine sketchup.exe
err:iphlpapi:getRouteTable Received unsupported sockaddr family 0x12
err:iphlpapi:getRouteTable Unexpected address type 0x10
err:iphlpapi:getRouteTable Unexpected address type 0x20
fixme:wgl:X11DRV_wglChoosePixelFormatARB unused pfAttribFList

On the first run the program will try to load the start-up tips and documentation, at this time Wine will ask if you want to install Gecko.. select NO and exit the three empty browser windows.

On the second run Wine will ask again if you want to install Gecko and this time let it install. There will be a single window and I suggest you turn off "show tips at start-up" all of there documentation is online and can be easily accessed through Help > Online Help Center



If you want to report a bug or see the list of known bugs, there is now a SketchUp on Wine wiki page setup with this in mind.

Microsoft Office 2000 on FreeBSD 7 with Wine

I installed Office 2000 on FreeBSD 7 beta 2 again this morning :D the last time I installed Office 2000 on FreeBSD it was on FreeBSD 5.3 and with the aid of CrossOver registry files. This time around the registry files were not needed and everything went smoothly out of the box.

If you have a old copy of Office 2000 laying around and FreeBSD 7 why not get that last bit of use out of it.

This is with a clean configuration directory and running in a 1024x768 virtual desktop.

tom@tom:~$ winecfg
wine: creating configuration directory '/home/tom/.wine'...
fixme:midi:OSS_MidiInit Synthesizer supports MIDI in. Not yet supported.
wine: '/home/tom/.wine' created successfully.

Set a virtual desktop if you wish, this is also a good time to set your sound driver. The first thing we need to do is set the windows version that Wine emulates from win2k to win98.

After you have done this go to the "Libraries" tab and set the following dlls as native Windows.

"odbc32"="native"
"odbccp32"="native"
"ole32"="native"
"oleacc"="native"
"oleaut32"="native"
"olecli32"="native"
"olepro32"="native"
"olesvr32"="native"
"olethk32"="native"
"riched20"="native"
"riched32"="native"
"rpcrt4"="native"
"stdole2.tlb"="native"
"stdole32.tlb"="native"
"storage"="native"

You will receive a message asking if you want to change the order of stdole2.tlb and stdole32.tlb just click yes and proceed. Don't rename oledlg.dll leave it as is!

Now go to ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32
and re-name msvcrt, ole32, oleaut32, olepro32, riched20, riched32, rpcrt4 to *.bak or the updates wont work.

Now its time to install dcom98.exe

$ wine dcom98



Now install the richedit30 update

tom@tom:~$ wine richedit30.exe
fixme:midi:OSS_MidiInit Synthesizer supports MIDI in. Not yet supported.
tom@tom:~$





You will want to grab this tahoma.zip file and uncompress it in your fonts directory.

~/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts

You might want to install the collection of Microsoft TrueType fonts at this time.

Now install MDAC 2.5 sp3




The next thing we need to do is set the Owner and Organization.

$wine regedit; then set the Owner and Organization
[Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion]
[Software\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion]

Mount your Office 2000 CD or go to the directory where you have the software saved and start the setup. The setup should run without any errors and complete as successful.

Example:

$ mount -t cd9660 /dev/acd0 ~/cd-rom
$ cd cd-rom
$ wine setup.exe
