I use a program called Microcarve, its a CNC Router program that converts images to gcode to run on my CNC machine. Unfortunately its a Windows only program. I am using LinuxCNC, its a prepackaged Ubuntu 10.04 install designed for CNC work. The program Microcarve installs and loads fine under Wine but as soon as I move the mouse pointer all the buttons and text disappear from the program gui.

Anyone got some tips I can try to resolve this?

You can download the program for free here:

You've just hit http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15232

See http://wiki.winehq.org/Developers about how to build wine, then
try this:


Works for me.

Dan, I am on Ubuntu so it says this for building :

sudo apt-get build-dep wine1.3

Then I enter the commands you posted?

First see http://wiki.winehq.org/GitWine to initialize ~/wine-git. e.g.
sudo apt-get install git
cd $HOME
git clone git://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git ~/wine-git
Then the commands I gave.

(If you're running 64 bit ubuntu 12.04, there are other flaming hoops
to jump through, see http://wiki.winehq.org/WineOn64bit )

Ok , I will go out to the machine and give it a try. Thanks!

Ubuntu version is 10.04, 32bit by the way.

DanKegel is the man!

Its working fine now, thanks! Is there a way I can pack up what Ive done here to share with other LinuxCNC users? If I just take my wine-git directory, zip it up and have people run ./config, make, sudo make install, would that work?

A shell script that contains the commnds you used might be better.

Might be easier to grab a tarball of the release just before that
git revision, then people wouldn't need to futz with git.
