What exactly does not work if you install MS Office under 2.1?
1. The Hebrew dialogs are all backwards and they don't seem to respond properly (It's a while since I tried!)
I sent Jeremy White an email about this some time back. You need to compile crossover office with ICU-dev on the machine for configure to pick up the bidi code. ICU is a soft dependancy, so it doesn't change the runtime requirement of crossover.
..6. Modify XF86config as follows:
Section "InputDevice" Driver "Keyboard" Identifier "Keyboard[0]" Option "Protocol" "Standard" Option "XkbLayout" "us,il"
Really? That was your suggestion! (:-))7. Create script files for each MS Office app which look like this (This one works for MS Word):
#/bin/sh
setxkbmap us,il
LANG=he_IL /home/danny/cxoffice/bin/wine --cx-app \
"C://Program Files//Microsoft Office//Office//WINWORD.EXE"
# The last two lines are entered as ONE line, without the \ continuation # character.
Since you have to explicitly set LANG and change keyboard layout there is
something wrong with your setup.
The keyboard thing should not be needed. Daniel seems to have the right keyboard setup in his XF86Config file. As for the LANG - this may be better suited on wine-devel than here, but as it's already being cross-posted to two lists, didn't want to add a third one. Let's just say that having only LC_CTYPE set to Hebrew is a pretty common setup in Israel. Daniel should, really, make sure that LC_CTYPE is set to Hebrew globally, though.
I think the way Wine handles the LC_* vars is incorrect. I think there are better representations to almost all of them in native Windows terms. I'll post my ideas about that to wine-devel, however.
