WineGame 0.1 RC4

    WineGame is a program for easily installing Windows games and applications in Wine. Written using Qt4.

    Version 0.1 RC4 released today



    Version

    Why such a leap? Firstly, I had 2 more intermediate release candidates, which were considered absolutely unsuccessful.
    Secondly, so many features were implemented that it was decided to abandon the zero in the middle (from version 0.0.1)

    New

    The most important new feature is installing games from many disks (how to make such a WineGame package is described in the wiki).
    For each installed application (except for those installed using templates), you can assign any version of Wine from 0.9.7 to the current one (thanks to playonlinux.com for the binary assembly repository).

    Also now you can use CMake or QMake at your discretion.

    Well, a lot more on the little things, yes. Changelog is present.

    Issues to be fixed for release

    - after the first start, you need to restart the program (due to incorrect operation with the database).
    - problems with CMake and installation not in / usr
    - cancellation of any operation is absent as a class :(
    - freezing (freezing) of the GUI during application installation (this may be delayed until the next release)

    Good (+ plans for this release)

    - The GUI and the library are completely separate from each other. Although both use Qt, there is no QtGui trace in the library, which will allow developers. create your applications based on winegame functions (the library is called winestuff). It is licensed under the LGPL.

    Install HOWTO


    1) First, delete the old config, if you have one:
    rm ~ / .config / winegame.conf

    2) Download packages for your distribution:

    Ubuntu: AgiliaLinux OR Download the tarballs and dependencies (from the dependencies - qt4-dev-tools, qt version 4.6, qt-sqlite, fuseiso). libwinegame-0.1_rc4 winegame-0.1_rc4 Then do something like:
    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pzinin/winegame
    sudo aptitude update
    sudo aptitude install winegame



    mpkg-install winegame









    cd winestuff
    mkdir build
    cd build
    cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ..
    make
    sudo make install
    cd ../winegame
    mkdir build
    cd build
    cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ..
    make
    sudo make install


    Future plans


    Soon I will have full hosting, so WineGame packages will be downloaded from the Internet, and in general nothing extra will be delivered with the program.
    I also plan to expand the possibilities for working with templates.

    Developers (however, as always) are welcome.
