native firebird missing GDS32.dll

Post by ttbl »

Hi Members,

I have one application that it runs in wine.
This app uses firebird.

I installed natvie firebird to Linux but the app want to use c:\windows\system32\GDS32.dll but it is missing.
So if i install firebird to wine then I have this DLL. But I would like to use native firebird to installed in Linux but now I haven't GDS32.DLL.

How can i solve the problem? How the apps uses GDS32.DLL without installer firebird to wine just uses native firebird ?

Thanks the advice.

You can try forcing the app to use native Firebird through the registry: http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-bc5b677 ... 1b2341cb98.

However, if the app itself uses gds32.dll, it may still refuse to work without it, and you would still have to install Windows Firebird, or copy it from a Windows install, to get it. That's not a Wine bug--gds32.dll is not shipped with Windows, so Wine will never have a builtin version of it. Apps are expected to install any nonstandard dlls that they need.
