The Future of Wine-Review

I thought I'd share with everyone who uses this resource what the future of Wine-Review entails. I also want to thank everyone for your support over the short period of time Wine-Review has been in existence.

Nicolas Koch and I have been working a lot behind the scenes with Codeweavers posting bug reports for betas as well as testing a lot of things in the up and coming CrossOver Office Linux and Mac. Believe me when I tell you that so much work is being done to this release and it will yield amazing results. Look forward to this release and support Wine by purchasing CrossOver Office and get CrossOver Games for free!

Additionally; and here's the kicker, Nicolas and I are working on a new website that will look more professional, be easier to browse and it will not be hosted here on blogspot.com. What lies ahead is a bigger user base migrating to Linux and more and more users using Wine. So we welcome all the new users with an awesome resource Wine-Review to help you in your quest to run Windows applications on Linux.

We will bring more reviews and lots of tips and tricks to get your Windows based applications working in Linux. There will also be a slight name change of the new site, we had to do this in order to get a relevant domain name. Wine-Review .com .net .org are already taken so we had to improvise just a little.

Here is two screenshots of the new site.


We plan to invite a small group of people to help test the new site and give feedback, thoughts, ideas etc. If your interested in this just post a comment here with your contact information.. don't worry the comments are moderated and your personal contact information will never be publicly posted.

Thanks for your support!

TRiX an OS X winetricks frontend

TRiX is a simple frontend to Dan Kegels winetricks for wine/Darwine. Winetricks is:
Quick and dirty script to download and install various redistributable runtime libraries
So it should help to download and install certain fonts and libraries that are needed by some windows programs to run under wine.
I’d like to point a finger at the font downloads. Loads of applications on windows (an therefore wine) depend on the corefonts. These fonts are not part of wine and can’t be packed together with wine because of different licenses. So if You had apps, showing only symbols and garbage, this is for You .
Wintricks offers to install some other notable libraries and Runtimes like
  • Visual Basic runtiems
  • C++ runtimes
  • xvid, intel and ffdshow codecs for audio and video en/decoding
  • .NET 1.1/2.0 and mono 1.1/1.9
TRiX comes with cabextract and wget binaries, so it should work out of the box. It will download the current version of winetricks and install the selected items.
