| .TH WINE 1 "July 16, 1999" "Version 990704" "Windows On Unix" |
| .SH NAME |
| wine \- run Windows programs on Unix |
| .SH SYNOPSIS |
| .BI "wine " "[wine_options] " "program1 " "[program2 ... ]" |
| .PP |
| For instructions on passing arguments to Windows programs, please see the |
| .B |
| PROGRAM/ARGUMENTS |
| section of the man page. |
| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| .B wine |
| .I program |
| loads and runs the given program, where the program is a DOS, Windows 3.x, |
| or Win32 executable (x86 binaries only). |
| .PP |
| .B wine |
| currently runs a growing list of applications written for Win3.1, |
| Win95, Win95, and Windows NT. Older, simpler applications work better than |
| newer, more complex ones. A large percentage of the API has been implemented, |
| although there are still several major pieces of work left to do. |
| .SH REQUIREMENTS |
| .B wine |
| requires kernel-level threads to run. Currently, only Linux version 2.0 |
| or later, FreeBSD-current or FreeBSD 3.0 or later, and Solaris x86 |
| version 2.5 or later are supported. Other operating systems which support |
| kernel threads may be supported in the future. |
| .PP |
| Although Linux version 2.0 will mostly work, certain features (specifically |
| LDT sharing) required for properly supporting Win32 threads were not |
| implemented until kernel version 2.2. If you get consistent thread-related |
| crashes, you may want to upgrade to 2.2. Also, some bugs were fixed and |
| additional features were added late in the Linux 2.0.x series, so if you have |
| a very old Linux kernel, you may want to upgrade to at least the latest 2.0.x |
| release. |
| .PP |
| If you have FreeBSD, make sure you have the USER_LDT, |
| SYSVSHM, SYSVSEM, and SYSVMSG options turned on in your kernel. If you |
| are building Wine on Solaris, you will most likely need to build Wine |
| with the GNU toolchain (gcc, gas, etc.) |
| .PP |
| .B X |
| must be installed. To use Wine's support for multithreaded applications, |
| your X libraries must be reentrant. If you have libc6 (glibc2), or you |
| compiled the X libraries yourself, they were probably compiled with the |
| reentrant option enabled. |
| .PP |
| .B libXpm |
| must be installed. If you're using Red Hat, make sure the following |
| packages are installed: XFree86-devel, xpm, and xpm-devel. If you're |
| using Debian, the packages you need are xpm4g and xpm4g-dev. If you |
| have some other distribution, please send a list of packages required |
| to the address listed in the |
| .B |
| BUGS |
| section to get it included in this man page. |
| .PP |
| .B gcc |
| 2.7.2 or later is required to build |
| .B wine. |
| Versions earlier than 2.7.2.3 may have problems when certain files are |
| compiled with optimization, often due to problems with header file |
| management. |
| .B |
| pgcc |
| currently doesn't work with wine. The cause of this problem is unknown. |
| .PP |
| .B flex |
| version 2.5 or later and |
| .B yacc |
| are required. Bison can be used in replace of yacc. If you have Redhat, |
| make sure the bison and flex packages are installed. |
| .SH INSTALLATION |
| To install |
| .B Wine, |
| run "./configure" in the top-level directory of the source, which will |
| detect your specific setup and create the Makefiles. You can run |
| "./configure --help" to see the available configuration options. Then do |
| "make depend && make" to build the |
| .B wine |
| executable, and then "make install" to install it. By default, |
| .B wine |
| is installed in the /usr/local/ hierarchy (current configuration has it in |
| the @prefix@ hierarchy); you can specify a different path with |
| the --prefix or --sysconfdir options when running |
| .B configure. |
| .PP |
| For more information, see the |
| .I README |
| file contained in the source distribution. |
| .SH OPTIONS |
| .TP |
| .I -config filename |
| Use the named configuration file rather than the default |
| (@sysconfdir@/wine.conf or ~/.winerc). |
| .TP |
| .I -debug |
| Enter the debugger before starting application |
| .TP |
| .I -debugmsg [xxx]#name[,[xxx1]#name1][,<+|->relay=yyy1[:yyy2]] |
| Turn debugging messages on or off. |
| .RS +7 |
| .PP |
| xxx is optional and can be one of the following: |
| .I err, |
| .I warn, |
| .I fixme, |
| or |
| .I trace. |
| If xxx is not specified, all debugging messages for the specified |
| channel are turned on. Each channel will print messages about a particular |
| component of Wine. # is required and can be either + or -. Note that |
| there is not a space after the comma between names. yyy are either the |
| name of a whole DLL or a single API entry by Name you either |
| want to include or exclude from the relay listing. These names must be in |
| the case as names used in the relaylisting. You can do the same for snoop. |
| .PP |
| For instance: |
| .PP |
| .I -debugmsg warn+dll,+heap |
| will turn on DLL warning messages and all heap messages. |
| .br |
| .I -debugmsg fixme-all,warn+cursor,+relay |
| will turn off all FIXME messages, turn on cursor warning messages, and turn |
| on all relay messages (API calls). |
| .br |
| .I -debugmsg -relay=LeaveCriticalSection:EnterCriticalSection |
| will turn on all relay messages except for LeaveCriticalSection and |
| EnterCriticalSection. |
| .br |
| .I -debugmsg +relay=ADVAPI32 |
| will only turn on relay messages into the ADVAPI32 code. |
| .PP |

| in the source distribution. |
| .RE |
| .TP |
| .I -desktop geom |
| Use a desktop window of the given geometry, e.g. "640x480" |
| .TP |
| .I -display name |
| Use the specified X display |
| .TP |
| .I -dll name[,name[,...]]={native|elfdll|so|builtin}[,{n|e|s|b}[,...]][:...] |
| Selects the override type and load order of dll used in the loading process |
| for any dll. The default is set in @sysconfdir@/wine.conf or ~/.winerc. There |
| are currently four types of libraries that can be loaded into a process' address |
| space: Native windows dlls ( |
| .I native |
| ), ELF encapsulated windows dlls ( |
| .I elfdll |
| ), native ELF libraries ( |
| .I so |
| )and wine internal dlls ( |
| .I builtin |
| ). The type may be abbreviated with the first letter of the type ( |
| .I n, e, s, b |
| ). Each sequence of orders must be separated by commas. |
| .br |
| Each dll may have its own specific load order. The load order determines |
| which verion of the dll is attempted to be loaded into the address space. If |
| the first fails, then the next is tried and so on. Different load orders can |
| be specified by separating the entries with a colon. Multiple libraries |
| with the same load order can be separated with commas. |
| .br |
| Examples: |
| .br |
| .I -dll comdlg32,commdlg=n,b |
| .br |
| Try to load comdlg32 and commdlg as native windows dll first and try |
| the builtin version if the native load fails. |
| .br |
| .I -dll comdlg32,commdlg=e,n:shell,shell32=b:comctl32,commctrl=n |
| .br |
| Try to load comdlg32 and commdlg as elfdll first and try the native version |
| if the elfdll load fails; load shell32/shell always as builtin and |
| comctl32/commctrl always as native. |
| .br |
| Note: It is wise to keep dll pairs (comdlg32/commdlg, shell/shell32, etc.) |
| having exactly the same load order. This will prevent mismatches at runtime. |
| See also configuration file format below. |
| .TP |
| .I -failreadonly |
| Read only files may not be opened in write mode (the default is to |
| allow opening read-only files for writing, because most Windows |
| programs always request read-write access, even on CD-ROM drives...). |
| .TP |
| .I -language xx |
| Set the language to |
| .I xx |
| (one of Br, Ca, Cs, Cy, Da, De, En, Eo, Es, Fi, Fr, Ga, Gd, Gv, Hu, |
| It, Ko, Kw, No, Pl, Pt, Ru, Sk, Sv, Wa) |
| .TP |
| .I -managed |
| Create each top-level window as a properly managed X window instead of |
| creating our own "sticky" window. |
| .TP |
| .I -synchronous |
| Turn on synchronous display mode. Useful for debugging X11 graphics problems. |
| .TP |
| .I -winver version |
| Specify which Windows version WINE should imitate. |
| Possible arguments are: win31, win95, nt351, and nt40. |
| .PD 1 |
| .SH PROGRAM/ARGUMENTS |
| The program name may be specified in DOS format ( |
| .I |
| C:\\WINDOWS\\SOL.EXE) |
| or in Unix format ( |
| .I /msdos/windows/sol.exe |
| ). The program being executed may be passed arguments by adding them on |
| to the end of the command line invoking |
| .B wine |
| (such as: wine "notepad C:\\TEMP\\README.TXT"). Note that |
| the program name and its arguments |
| .I must |
| be passed as a single parameter, which is usually accomplished by placing |
| them together in quotation marks. Multiple applications may be started |
| by placing all of them on the command line (such as: wine notepad clock). |
| .SH ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES |
| .B wine |
| makes the environment variables of the shell from which |
| .B wine |
| is started accessible to the windows/dos processes started. So use the |
| appropriate syntax for your shell to enter environment variables you need. |
| .SH CONFIGURATION FILE |
| .B wine |
| expects a configuration file ( |
| .I @sysconfdir@/wine.conf |
| ), which must conform to the format specified in the |
| .BR wine.conf (5) |
| man page. A sample configuration file is wine.ini in the home directory of the Wine |
| source archive. |
