So I tried to use winetricks, and when I selected "install windows component," it crashes, prints the help info, and exits. I can install things with the command line (as "winetricks verb")
Anyone else having issues? I upgraded zenity from Ponce's slackbuild.
I think we're talking about different things. I'm talking about this: https://github.com/Winetricks/winetricks It's a script for installing different verbs on WINE. The script works fine. It's the GUI that isn't working for me since the big current update.
Just FTR and just for now, I'm experiencing the same winetricks issues even on 6.0 but I used a modded slackbuild script for both. More soon, I hope.
FWIW I think it is a QT issue since my previous wine version, 5.5, built exactly the same way for multilib, started failing on winetricks after a slackpkg upgrade where wine is blacklisted. Debugging has only hinted at QT and wine issues but I suspect the wine issues are only because of the other issues hopefully only related to one "upgrade". I have verified that my wine installs, 5.5 and 6.0, are indeed multilib but winetricks thinks the default prefix is Win64, even though both "/usr/bin/wine" and "/usr/bin/wine64" exist and work.
Now that's odd. My Winetricks GUI loads just fine and it will do some of the menued jobs. It's only when I select "Load the default WINEPREFIX" that it crashes. Hmmmm.
yes, the GUI loads and "looks" fine. However, when you select a menu item, depeding on how that is being preocessed in the script, an extra string of text is added via kde-gtk-config that can cause issues.
NP. I spent quite a few hours going aroung in circles on that one!
Yeah, first thing I thought was that zenity needed a recompile, so I built a newer version of that against all the new libs in current. Never would've guessed it was a KDE issue, especially since I'm using xfce.
In the meantime, here an example to bit in a work around so that zenity can work for a case selection:
Code:
y="$(zenity --list --radiolist --width=600 --height=400 \
--title="Slackware64 Qemu" \
--column="" --column="Function" --column="Description" \
FALSE new "Create new BASE image from iso" \
FALSE base "Run BASE image" \
FALSE create "Create new WIP from BASE" \
True wip "Run Work In Progress (WIP) image" \
FALSE help "Help" \
FALSE exit "Exit" 2>/dev/null)"
# Work around for KDE Bug 431365
x=$(echo $y | cut -d " " -f 4)
