This directory contains files associated with Corel's Wordperfect 2000 suite for linux. All the files in this directory are not supported by Corel in anyway. Use at your own risk. Please read the entire readme here, as it has some important information on installing the rpms and also some info about locality. The file, corelwine-rpm-base.tar.gz contains some scripts meant to help build an rpm of the latest CVS version of corelwine. The reason I made a tarball with a script instead of just a .spec file is because I wanted to generate a snapshot rpm that would have the date as the version number. I haven't yet figured out how to do this with rpm. So my script modifies the included spec file to include the date, downloads the latest corelwine cvs code, applies a couple of patches to it, and then builds corel wine. To use the builder script, the tarball should be unpacked in the SOURCES section of your rpm build tree. On redhat that's /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES. The script will then create the spec file, create a special source tarball, and run rpm for you. The resulting RPM should be in RPMS/i386. You will need fonttastic-dev and libaps-dev installed to build the RPM. (If all you have is libaps, check to make sure it has include files. If so, then you're okay.) The two patches I apply to the source code do the following: corelwine-configure.patch patches configure so that it will not build in opengl support into wine. This is necessary so that things will work properly under XFree 4.0.x. I also tried to exclude ncurses support, but that didn't work, so I bundled a libncurses.so.4 file in the package as a crutch. The other patch patches the scroll bar control so that it won't let go of the mouse when you're dragging it and get too far away. This one is arguably personal preference, so you can remove it if you want. I also have posted here a compiled rpm of corelwine-cvs-20010227 that is built against glibc 2.1, fonttastic, and libaps. For some reason, I have found that it is necessary to remove the old corelwine-cvs rpm (if you have it) before installing the newer one because of some weird conflicts that arrise from my use of symlinks. Am looking into this. I've also had reports that rpm claims it needs glibc 2.2 when installing, but I'm thinking you can just use --nodeps and be fine. See the corel newsgroup for instructions on how to convert the rpm to a deb package and use it on debian systems. There are not many new enhancements that I'm aware of, and I can't really say much about it's stability, but it does clear up many of the problems I had previously (like not being able to run at all). It may be my imagination, but the latest build seems to be faster too. *locality info* Right now, the hacked version of wpolauncher I provide sets the LC_ALL variable to en_US. Please change that to whatever locale you need. The system's LC_ALL variable is not honored. (If you have it set already, just remove the export line from wpolauncher.) All this junk is left over from problems I had trying to get wine to run before. Forcing it to set the LC_ALL variable made it work for me.
