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.
