This directory contains files associated with Corel's Wordperfect 2000
suite for linux. All the files in this directory are not supported by
Corel in anyway. Use at your own risk. Please read the entire readme
here, as it has some important information on installing the rpms and also
some info about locality.
The file, corelwine-rpm-base.tar.gz contains some scripts meant to help
build an rpm of the latest CVS version of corelwine. The reason I made a
tarball with a script instead of just a .spec file is because I wanted to
generate a snapshot rpm that would have the date as the version number.
I haven't yet figured out how to do this with rpm. So my script modifies
the included spec file to include the date, downloads the latest corelwine
cvs code, applies a couple of patches to it, and then builds corel wine.
To use the builder script, the tarball should be unpacked in the SOURCES
section of your rpm build tree. On redhat that's /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES.
The script will then create the spec file, create a special source
tarball, and run rpm for you. The resulting RPM should be in RPMS/i386.
You will need fonttastic-dev and libaps-dev installed to build the RPM.
(If all you have is libaps, check to make sure it has include files. If
so, then you're okay.)
The two patches I apply to the source code do the following:
corelwine-configure.patch patches configure so that it will not build in
opengl support into wine. This is necessary so that things will work
properly under XFree 4.0.x. I also tried to exclude ncurses support, but
that didn't work, so I bundled a libncurses.so.4 file in the package as a
crutch. The other patch patches the scroll bar control so that it won't
let go of the mouse when you're dragging it and get too far away. This
one is arguably personal preference, so you can remove it if you want.
I also have posted here a compiled rpm of corelwine-cvs-20010227 that is
built against glibc 2.1, fonttastic, and libaps.
For some reason, I have found that it is necessary to remove the old
corelwine-cvs rpm (if you have it) before installing the newer one because
of some weird conflicts that arrise from my use of symlinks. Am looking
into this. I've also had reports that rpm claims it needs glibc 2.2 when
installing, but I'm thinking you can just use --nodeps and be fine. See
the corel newsgroup for instructions on how to convert the rpm to a deb
package and use it on debian systems.
There are not many new enhancements that I'm aware of, and I can't really
say much about it's stability, but it does clear up many of the problems I
had previously (like not being able to run at all). It may be my
imagination, but the latest build seems to be faster too.
*locality info* Right now, the hacked version of wpolauncher I provide
sets the LC_ALL variable to en_US. Please change that to whatever locale
you need. The system's LC_ALL variable is not honored. (If you have it
set already, just remove the export line from wpolauncher.) All this junk
is left over from problems I had trying to get wine to run before.
Forcing it to set the LC_ALL variable made it work for me.
