- 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.
