wine still isn't quite there yet
Posted By matt on November 29, 2003
Tried to install some video games:
Starcraft – Works flawlessly
XCOM – UFO Defense (Windows version) – Chokes on install. Says that UninstallShield is in use
HalfLife – Supposed to work flawlessly, and other people can get it to work, however, for me it bitches about not having
enough temporary storage space. Don't know how to fix it.
So, still need the wintendo.
In other news, I'm playing with MythTV (because Freevo, while good, is slow). MythTV has a list of dependencies longer than my schlong, and after getting them ALL installed – it gives me 500+ lines of compile errors. Poop.
Freevo, on the other hand, is lean and mean – it just takes forever to recurse through a list of directories and build a randm playlist, or to use an XMMS playlist. Aside from that, I like it very much.
Perhaps I should try and fix it instead of trying MythTV (MythTV is far more than I need, honestly).
Hmmm. Will have to think on this for awhile. Gives me an excuse to learn Python…
