Quickbooks 8.1 lockup

Sound1 · Post by **Sound1** » Wed Aug 27, 2008 11:08 pm

Using Ubuntu 8.04, Wine 1.1.3

Application is Quickbooks 8.1. I have succesfully run this app in 7.04 with older wine version.

I'm finding that the menu's with arrow up & down seem to crash Quickbooks and wine. Not using the arrows but when you go all the way to the top or bottom. A restart is then needed to get Quickbooks to open up again.

Any ideas? As I say this worked great previously until I brought a new machine and new install.

I would really don't want to use windows. I love wine! Help Please?

Thanks for the reply. I will give it a go.

I haven't really done a lot of compileing etc.

Standby for more......

Well so far I've gotten to a point where when I tell it to 'make' to doesn't seem to want to do it.

I'm following the instructions from http://wiki.winehq.org/WineOn64bit it just outputs this:

stuartw@stuartw-desktop wine-git$ make
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.

This suggests you haven't run configure (which the instructions say to do) then you can run make
