[opensuse] Re: wine and new libraries

Hi,

I just installed wine-0.9.31 for a proprietary application that is being said
runs using wine-0.9.29 and up. However, it needs some libraries that are not
part of wine. An example is Host.dll. I downloaded Host.dll from the net
and saved it into /usr/lib/wine. After executing the application with wine,
wine still complains that it cannot find it. After moving the libs to
~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32 the application can be launched. There
still seems to be a problem with the application, might that because the
dll's are not correctly recognized/initialized by wine?

How can I have those dll's installed systemwide in /usr/lib/wine and
recognized by wine?

Hi Richard,

for me, this usually works with
1. winecfg
2. go to the tab "libraries" (or similar)
3. enter your library there as an override, which means that wine will
use your library instead of using the builtin functionality for the purpose.

hth+ kind regards
Eberhard
