hMailServer- where are winetricks mdac and jet40 ?

Post by palloy »

Lubuntu 11.10 + LXDE, Wine 1.3.28 , Winetricks 0.0+20110229

I am trying to install hMailServer 5.3.3 .
The hMailServer installer warns "it appears another mail server is already running, you should close it",
but there is no other mail server running.
The warning should read "you can only bind to privileged ports when running as root".
I can cope with using other ports once I get the thing installed.

The hMailServer installer recognises the dependencies on MDAC 2.8 and Jet 4
and tries to get them from micro$oft.com but fails "404 not found" (old link)
Downloading from latest micro$oft.com URL directly and simply installing in Wine doesn't work.
I see various references to "winetricks mdac and jet40"
but I don't see them listed in Winetricks.

Where can I get these additional Winetricks ?

BTW I have successfully installed Fastream IQ web server+GUI and PHP 5.3.9 (VC9 x86)
(subject to the same problem with privileged ports)
and can serve pages from 3 domains with/without SSL.
Well done !

Both your Wine version and your winetricks version are old. Upgrade both.

These are the latest binaries for Ubuntu, as of yesterday.
I'm not really up to compiling sources yet, but I am prepared to give it a go, if you can point me to some instructions.

No, they're not. https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-wine/+archive/ppa

Get the latest winetricks from http://winetricks.org.

OK, I must have done something wrong yesterday.

I now have Wine 1.3.37 .
As for Winetricks, I followed the instructions:

Code: Select all

rm -f winetricks
wget http://winetricks.org/winetricks
sudo cp winetricks /usr/bin
sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/winetricks
it downloaded a 585 KB file (no version number)
It needed a reboot before it would launch Winetricks,
and when it did, there is still no trick for MDAC or Jet.

Since I had to go outside of Synaptic, it longer gives the correct version number for Winetricks, but it says 0.0+20110629 .
Embedded in /usr/bin/winetricks it says version 20111115 .[/code]

Hmmm. Looking inside /usr/bin/winetricks with gedit I can see it does contain stuff dealing with MDAC 2.8, but its not on the list I get when I execute it and choose "install an app".

It's not under apps, it's under dlls. The GUI menu is worthless. Just use the command line:

Code: Select all

winetricks mdac28

Ah, that explains a lot.
I know this is a beta project, but it would help if that was documented prominently somewhere.

MDAC 2.8 and Jet 4.0 now installed OK.
Of course a whole new range of problems now open up, but that's for another thread.

Thanks for your patience.

That's just my opinion of the menu. And winetricks is not part of Wine; problems with it should be reported to http://winetricks.org
