Here's what I have so far, let me know if you need any more details.
- The original software has a MSSQL database running on a Windows Server 2003 machine on his local network.
- The client software works on Windows XP or Windows 7. I have it working on a Windows 7 machine so I should be able to copy any settings I need.
- The Linux machine is running the latest version of Manjaro with XFCE. I installed it but I don't have the machine in front of me, so if you need details, I can give those tomorrow.
- I installed the latest version of Wine last week, so everything should be up to date.
I took a few notes so here's what I did:
Code: Select all
$ export WINEARCH=win32
$ winetricks atmlib gdiplus msxml3 msxml6 vcrun2005 vcrun2005sp1 vcrun2008 ie6 fontsmooth=rgb gecko
"Setup was unable to load the following DLL: C:\users\user\Temp\{...}\_mxuser.dll"
So I fixed that with:
Code: Select all
$ winetricks mfc42Next, it looks for the database on the network, but it couldn't find one and it eventually times out and says you need to have a running database etc etc.
I found this page:
https://wiki.winehq.org/Wine_User%27s_G ... BC_drivers
I couldn't find a mdac_typ.exe online that looked legit, but I found one on my friend's MSSQL server!
I copied it to the local wine folder and tried:
Code: Select all
$ wine MDAC_TYP.EXE
Next, I tried:
Code: Select all
$ winetricks mdac27Code: Select all
$ cd ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32
$ wine cliconfg.exe
$ wine odbcad32.exe
Now I tried the installer again, and this time IT FOUND THE DATABASE!!
- it has a little window that lists any databases it finds on the network, and it found a test database I made a while ago when we were trying to get this software working, and it found the actual working database as well!
So I thought I was home free! But no... I select the database and click Next...
Then in my Linux terminal, I just get a ton of these...
Code: Select all
GnuTLS error: No or insufficient priorities were set.
GnuTLS error: No or insufficient priorities were set.
GnuTLS error: No or insufficient priorities were set.
GnuTLS error: No or insufficient priorities were set.
GnuTLS error: No or insufficient priorities were set.
GnuTLS error: No or insufficient priorities were set.
GnuTLS error: No or insufficient priorities were set.
At first, I thought it might be because the Windows network has a username and password but on the Linux side I already have the server mapped to drive R, and in Wine I CAN open the shared R drive.
I don't know what to try next. Any ideas would be appreciated. I'll be down at his place tomorrow, Sunday 28 April.
Thanks!
