WineGame 0.1 RC4

WineGame is a program for easy installation of Windows-based games and applications in Wine. Written using Qt4.

Today released version 0.1 RC4

Version

Why such a jump? First of all, I had 2 more intermediate release candidates who were declared completely unsuccessful.
Secondly, so many features were implemented that it was decided to abandon the zero in the middle (of version 0.0.1)

New

The most important new feature is the installation of games from multiple disks (how to make such a package WineGame is described in the wiki).
For each installed application (except those installed using templates), you can assign any version of Wine from 0.9.7 to the current (thanks to playonlinux.com for the binary build repository).



You can also use CMake or QMake as you wish.

Well, a lot of little things, yes. Changelog is present.

Issues to be fixed for release

- after the first start you need to restart the program (due to incorrect work with the database).
- problems with CMake and installation not in / usr
- cancellation of any operation is absent as a class: (
- Frieze (hang) of the GUI during the installation of the application (this may be postponed to the next release)

Good (+ plans for this release)

- GUI and library are completely separated from each other. Although both use Qt, there is no trace of QtGui in the library, which will allow developers. create your applications based on the functions of the winegame (the library is called winestuff). It is licensed under the LGPL.

Install HOWTO

1) First of all, delete the old config if you have one:
rm ~ / .config / winegame.conf

2) Download packages for your distribution:

Ubuntu:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pzinin/winegame
sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude install winegame


AgiliaLinux
mpkg-install winegame

OR

Download tarballs and dependencies (from dependencies - qt4-dev-tools, qt version 4.6, qt-sqlite, fuseiso).

libwinegame-0.1_rc4
winegame-0.1_rc4

Then do something like:
cd winestuff
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ..
make
sudo make install
cd ../winegame
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ..
make
sudo make install


Future plans

Soon I will have a full-fledged hosting, so the WineGame packages will be downloaded from the Internet, and in general nothing superfluous will be delivered with the program.
I also plan to expand the possibilities for working with templates.

Developers (as always) are welcome.
