      3.COM:

This is a Windows technology used by almost all large Windows applications, and it supports things like embedding an Excel spreadsheet into Word Documentation medium functionality. This technology is well supported by Wine.

      4. Registration form:

This is another key technology used by almost any Windows application. Wine implements about 90% of the Windows registry management API.

      5. Core functions:

Core system functionality is also exceptionally well supported. As mentioned earlier, although Linux and Windows There are differences, but there are many similarities at a basic level, so the core system APIs related to processes, threads, files, and message queues are almost perfectly supported.

​​The Chinese version of Wine has a very robust and powerful built-in debugger. In addition to supporting standard debugging functions, it also provides debugging for Windows running on Linux. Binaries are customized. It is one of the most important tools that Wine provides its developers. Wine There is also a well-designed tracing and logging module to aid debugging. We emphasize this because, although the framework is robust, when installed and run in Wine There are a lot of uncertainties when it comes to Windows applications, and sooner or later you'll have to stop debugging when using open source Wine.

      Question: How to use wine under Linux?

Answer: 1. To run Windows programs under Linux, wine is essential, so please install wine into your system.

​ ​ 2. Load the partition where your Windows is located into a directory. (This article assumes that this directory is /mnt/c).

3. Modify wine.conf. This is also the most critical step. In wine.conf, the system has five drives by default:

A. Floppy drive, corresponding to the loading point /mnt/fd0 of the floppy drive under Linux;

C, the partition where windows is located, corresponds to /c;

D, CD-ROM, corresponds to /cdrom;

E, temporary partition, corresponding to /tmp;

F, network drive.

First, you must specify the path where your Windows is located, otherwise, wine will not work. Open /etc/wine/wine.conf with any text editor and find [Drive c], change Path=/c to Path=/mnt/c. If other drives have different paths than the mount point on your system, you should change them to the actual paths on your system. So far, Wine is basically ready to run. Run "wine Winamp.exe", Winamp will run. Of course, your system must be able to make sounds. At this time, if you open a file in Winamp, you will find that there are only Four drives A, C, D, E and F are available. If you want to use it as easily as under Windows, you must map all partitions to the corresponding drive names. The format is:

[Drive M] (M is the drive name, such as c,d,e,f...)

Path=/xyz (/xyz is the mount point of the partition in Linux)

Type=abc (abc is the type of drive, the floppy drive is floppy, the hard disk is hd, the optical drive is cdrom, and the network is net)

Label=labelname (labelnemae is the label)

Filesystem=win95

Device=/dev/hdxy (x is the number of the physical hard drive, the first primary disk is a, the first slave disk is b; y is the logical partition number, the primary partition is 1, and the logical partition starts from 5. For example, my system Brother, thank you! ? It is /dev/hda1, d is /hda5, e is /hda6...). Of course, if a drive is inserted somewhere, the subsequent drives should be modified accordingly.

Finally, find [wine] and pair Temp=e:,Path=c:wineows;c:windowssystem;e:;e:test;f: Modify the drive names in the files accordingly so that they point to the correct paths.

After completing the above modifications, run "wine Winamp.exe" and it will be as convenient as using it under Windows.
