Sun Mar 15 03:46:50 1998  Dimitrie O. Paun  <dimi@mail.cs.toronto.edu>

	* [*/*]
	Fixed some dprintf_ such that there is one and only one
	new line for each dprintf and that new line occurs at the end.
	Transformed some fprintfs into proper debug statements.
	Removed much redundancy from most of the debug statements. The
	redundancy appeared because now the component and function
	name is output automatically. Most debug statements also used to
	output the name of the function.
	All these changes prepared the source to switch completely to
	the new debugging interface.
	For more info, refer to ./documentation/debug-msg

1. INTRODUCTION
Wine is a program that allows running MS-Windows programs under X11.
It consists of a program loader, that loads and executes an
MS-Windows binary, and of an emulation library that translates Windows
API calls to their Unix/X11 equivalent.
Wine is free software. See the file LICENSE for the details.
Basically, you can do anything with it, except claim that you wrote it.
2. COMPILATION
To compile the emulator, you must have one of:
Linux version 0.99.13 or above
NetBSD-current
FreeBSD-current or FreeBSD 1.1
OpenBSD/i386 2.1 or later
Solaris x86 2.5 or later
You also need to have libXpm installed on your system. The sources for
it are probably available on the ftp site where you got Wine. They can
also be found on ftp.x.org and all its mirror sites.
On x86 Systems gcc >= 2.7.0 is required. You will probably need flex too.
To build Wine, first do a "./configure" and then a "make depend; make".
This will build the library "libwine.a" and the program "wine".
The program "wine" will load and run Windows executables.
The library "libwine.a" can be used to compile and link Windows source
code under Unix. If you have an ELF compiler, you can use
"./configure --enable-dll" to build a shared library instead.
To upgrade to a new release by using a patch file, first cd to the
top-level directory of the release (the one containing this README
file). Then do a "make clean", and patch the release with:
gunzip -c patch-file | patch -p1
where "patch-file" is the name of the patch file (something like
Wine-yymmdd.diff.gz). You can then re-run "./configure", and then
run "make depend; make".
3. SETUP
Once Wine has been built correctly, you can do "make install"; this
will install the wine executable and the man page.
Wine requires you to have a file /usr/local/etc/wine.conf (you can
supply a different name when configuring wine) or a file called .winerc
in your home directory.
The format of this file is explained in the man page. The file
wine.ini contains a config file example.
4. RUNNING PROGRAMS
When invoking Wine, you must specify the entire path to the executable,
or a filename only.
For example: to run Windows' solitaire:
wine sol (using the searchpath to locate the file)
wine sol.exe
wine c:\\windows\\sol.exe (using a dosfilename)
wine /usr/windows/sol.exe (using a unixfilename)
Note: the path of the file will also be added to the path when
a full name is supplied on the commandline.
Have a nice game of solitaire, but be careful. Emulation isn't perfect.
So, occasionally it may crash.
UPDATE: Windows 95 components are known to cause more crashes compared
to the equivalent Windows 3.1 libraries.
5. GETTING MORE INFORMATION
The best place to get help or to report bugs is the Usenet newsgroup
comp.emulators.ms-windows.wine. The Wine FAQ is posted there every
month. Also, you may want to browse old messages on www.dejanews.com
to check whether your problem is already fixed.
If you add something, or fix a bug, please send a patch ('diff -u'
format preferred) to julliard@lrc.epfl.ch for inclusion in the next
release.
