Wine?

Logos guys, is it worth having a try at installing/running v4 under Wine?

Not yet Nigel.

I have every intention of testing under WINE when I can but since beta one demands having v3 installed (which will not happen under WINE or Crossover) we'll have to wait at least until beta 2 and then, step back I intend to do everything I can to figure out how v4 can work on Linux. :-)

Wanna help?
;-D

Be not drunk with wine but be filled with the Spirit! ;-)

I would loved to be totally smashed on the type of WINE Pastor Thomas is talking about!

I can help, Thomas but I have no idea of what to do. I have Ubuntu, I like it, and know I cannot use Logos with it. So I may be of no help at all.

We'll see how it goes Jerry,
I think we're going to have to wait until we have a minimum an installer that can run without relying upon Logos 3, but with a proposed update already expected to come down the pipe on Monday or Wednesday it could be good. :-)

I did see a screenshot last night with someone claiming to have gotten Logos 3 running under Wine. I'll see if I can find it again if you like, though it didn't provide any useful details.

I got the first stage installer to work, but the second stage just hung for me. Perhaps there are other prequisites that are needed?

I did get it to install once, but I had to cheat with some kind of IE installer. Sadly I can't remember how. I've never been able to repeat a Linux install since with v3.

Ok. I might give that a try when I have some time (heh. make some time, I mean).

The Recent discovery that Logos 4 relies upon the microsoft Background Intelligent Transfer service (BITS) doesn't bode well for Linux installs.

Though there has been a skeleton implementationof BITS since .9.47

And I just noticed that Winehq lists an active BITS dll...

No point giving up hope before I have a chance to play with it maybe around beta 4 or so when another DVD is sent out.

I found the page I saw that claims to have gotten Libronix 3 going under Wine:

Will see if I can achieve that too - and document it if I do.

I attempted an L4 install last night under WINE, didn't even get the installer started; C++ ended funny they say. I'll play with it.
