Running AbstractSpoon ToDoList under Wine

ian – Thu, 2007 – 08 – 16 21:31

I'm using Ubuntu Feisty with the Wine that's installed with it - version 0.9.41. I'm still using a relatively old ToDoList 4.10.2. I also tried version 5.3 - it started up fine, but would page fault while loading some of my task lists.

Copy these dll's from a Windows installation into the ToDoList directory:

  • mfc42.dll
  • mfc42u.dll
  • msxml2.dll
  • msxml2r.dll
  • msxml3.dll
  • msxml3r.dll
  • msxml.dll
  • msxmlr.dll

FIre up winecfg. Under the Libraries tab, add overrides for msxml and msxml3. Their load order should be (native, builtin).

It's not perfect - there are some visual defects and the occasional crash - but it beats running under VMWare.

Global hotkey doesn't work, unfortunately. I see "FIXME stub" messages appear on the console.
