Here is what I did. It took me about 10 minutes: gtar xjvf freetype-2.3.5.tar.bz2 gtar xjvf fontforge_full-20070607.tar.bz2 export PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/usr/openwin/bin:/usr/sfw/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/home/mark/local/bin I had to edit the configure script by replacing all "grep"s with "ggrep"s. Use sed or favorite editor. ./configure --prefix=/home/mark/local --with-freetype-src=../freetype-2.3.5 gmake gmake install cd .. gtar xjvf wine-0.9.41.tar.bz2 cd wine-0.9.41 ./configure --prefix=/home/mark/local gmake depend && gmake gmake install cd .. wine ./DCPlusPlus-0.699.exe wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/DC++/DCPlusPlus.exe And everything works fine! Ok, the fonts look like crap but that can probably be solved by installing the MS fonts or something. I didn't investigate. -Mark > > This message posted from opensolaris.org > _______________________________________________ > opensolaris-discuss mailing list > opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
