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.
