possible platinum regression dvdshrink

andysk · Post by **andysk** » Mon Jun 02, 2008 2:58 pm

I've successfully run dvdshrink 3.2.0.15 on cross-over linux 6.2 for some time but it won't install for me on wine rc3 (using win version=xp) , but I also get the same error on 0.9.56 which is listed in the wine appDB as working platinum.

I also tried 0.9.59 with same result - access violation right at the beginning of the install

anyone got this working on rc3 ? if yes did you do anything "special"

thanks
Andy

I've had it installed since 0.9.56 with no problems. I just retested the installer with 1.0-rc3 to see if there was a regression there, and it installed just fine with no special tweaking. How are you trying to install it? If you haven't been doing it through the command line, try that way.

I just tested it on a fresh ~/.wine with the latest git. It installed and loaded
perfectly both with wine set to emulate Win XP as well as Win 2000.

Did you notice any extraordinary errors or try to call the wine installer from
the command line to see what it says?

I downloaded the bz2 compressed version of rc3. Other windows software runs ok for me. To install dvdshrink I ran
# wine dvdshrink32setup.exe from command line and get an access violation , this same .exe installs fine under "xp" in crossover so this has to be a problem with my wine build but this seemed to go ok.

I'm running fedora 7 with selinux enforcing, I disabled SElinux and hey presto it installs. Put SElinux back to Enforcing and I get the access violation.

thanks for the feedback , I now know what the problem is at least.

Hello, what is the recommended distribution for the latest development
snapshot/unstable release/RC?

Would Debian unstable (Lenny/Sid) do?

Zac Brown · Post by **Zac Brown** » Tue Jun 03, 2008 5:08 pm

Debian would be fine, as would Ubuntu. I do most of my work on Ubuntu machines.
I'm sure others are using different options.

The one perk I can think of for Ubuntu (and somewhat Debian) is Dan Kegel's
script for installing all the packages needed to build wine. Its not much work
to do it yourself, but I'm lazy. You can find those at...

http://kegel.com/wine/dapper.sh (for dapper) or http://kegel.com/wine/hardy.sh
(and so on).

Hi,

I think I misunderstood your question. If you're worried about getting the
latest snapshot/unstable release etc, then you're best bet is to play in git or
building source releases as they're released.

IMHO, wine is a dish best served fresh. Improvements are made quickly in wine so
distro's aren't able to keep up. I suppose if you want your distro to worry
bout these things SourceMage or Gentoo might be the freshest? Don't quote me on
that though.

For what you're asking, you're better off just building releases as they come
out by hand or just rebuilding a git checkout as you go.

It's more a matter of "dependency hell" in the stable Debian version.
Stable Debian dependency libs usually don't keep up with cutting-edge
devel releases like Wine. And yes, that'd require building Wine from
source.

Well with a pretty recent distro, it usually does fine. I have dapper systems at
home that build wine fine and dapper is going on 2 years old now.

Take that to mean what you will. I can tell you from experience that wine builds
well on Debian unstable/testing and Ubuntu's back to Dapper. Beyond that, I
don't know much more than that.

Any distro should be fine, the main problem typically faced in debian
is old dependency packages, though Sid shouldn't be a problem. Most
devs are using some recent flavor of Ubuntu/Fedora/OpenSuse, from what
I've seen on -devel. As long as the dependencies are met, it shouldn't
matter, though. Just be careful of when your distro introduces a bug,
a la the Fedora gcc bug.

FreeBSD does a pretty good job of keeping its ports tree updated with the
latest wine release
wine gets released every other Friday, and usually by Sunday the new release
hits the ports tree.

it is as simple as portupgrade -ar

in my experience wine runs really well in FreeBSD 7+

Have a look at gentoo. It's not the easiest distribution to maintain,
and routine upgrades take forever, but failure to keep up with upstream
developers is a reportable bug.

It's distributed as source code packages. Everything is compiled on
your machine before you eyes.
