(solved) wine-gl; info file indicate download gecko engine. Howto?

[floppy]

hello,
for my son, I want to install the window ego-shooter game "moorhuhn winter-edition".
So, I need wine.
I installed wine-gl.
In the info file is indicated "1. winecfg, let download gecko engine (...)". But I dont understand.
Can somebody help?
My son is waiting...

When you first start winecfg, it will ask you about it.

I already made it.. but could not understand what to do..

When you first start winecfg, it will ask you about it.

curaga-san,
by starting winecfg as command line, the winecfg menu is coming with different sub-menues like "applications" and "librairies" and "graphics" and .. but in which one should I put "gecko-engine" in order to load it?. Im a bit lost.. (and my son is waiting for shooting down some "Moorhuehner"..;-).. he is coming back in 1 week from Ireland.. so, I should have the solution before this time.

floppy, no problem it'll work! ;-)

the instructions seem to be unclear, but there's just something not going "the usual way" in your case.

when you don't have a wine directory in your home (e.g. /home/tc/.wine, this is the standard wine dir) then on first start of winecfg, it will automatically create this folder, setup a windows registry and it will also try to download the gecko engine, so that the builtin browser ("wine iexplore www.tinycorelinux.com") works. that's what just takes a little time once - you don't have to do anything special. however, sometimes this downloading breaks or it is not done correctly. in this case just remove the .wine folder from /home/tc and run winecfg again!

Thanks. I made what you suggested.
And I got a menue "install gecko?". So, lets go for install.
But it finished with errors.

a) In order to capture the errors, I made winecfg > winecfg.log
    But nothing is in it. why? or how to capture the errors into a file?

b) And I tried to use a screen print with "emprint".
    But with "emprint" as command in a terminal, the error came "emprint: error while loading shared   
    libraries: libxcb.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory". 2nd why/how..

So, here are the gecko install errors by handwork..
>> winecfg
wine: created the configuration directory '/home/tc/.wine'
fixme:urlmon:DownloadBSC_OnProgress Unsupported status 3
fixme:wininet:InternetLockRequestFile STUB
err:cabinet:FDICopy FDIIsCabinet failed.
err:mshtml:check_version Could not open VERSION file
Could not load wine-gecko. HTML rendering will be disabled.
wine: configuration in '/home/tc/.wine' has been updated. <<<

And the programm > wine setup_moorhuhn.. is aborting with errors (I cannot capture again..).
Seems to be a harder work than expected..

[curaga]

If the automation fails, I think you can download it manually too; check the wine wiki.

But anyway, are you sure you need that? Many games have no need for HTML rendering.

According your recommendation, I installed wine instead of wine-gl.
I found a script winetricks.sh which should install gecko "manually" (the usual install did not work).
By starting "sh winetricks.sh gecko", it indicated that a file installgecko.sh should be loaded and started instead of the previous command. I made it. (*). Gecko seems to have been installed now.
So, I started my Moorhuhn setup, few errors came.
Any Idea what to do now?
See errors in http://imagebin.org/153990
my son.. 11.. is waiting.. pressure.. pressure in the family.. ;-)

(*): the  installgecko.sh seems to load the gecko.. cab files in a directory. So I had to load the extension cabextract, put one of the cab file into /.wine/drive_c/Program Files/ then run cabextract for a choosen cab file.

now that you're using winetricks... you can install original windows libs with it as the screenshot you posted relates to ole errors. wine supports overrided installing of external windows libs, try something like

Code: [Select]

sh winetricks msxml3

or winetricks --help to get an idea of packages you could also install (there is also some ole stuff).

[floppy]

Thanks.
I used your command.
I could not find in a quick look the ole stuff; must have again a look if I find it.
Issue still there.
The message "ole:TLB_ReadTypeLib Header type magic 0x00005a4d not supported" seems to be usual as wine error in the net.
I will see later if it has something to do with the program language (german) and my TCL setup (english) .

And: I close this thread; now I have nomore the gecko issue.
I will start another one when I have a bit time (a illness day at home like today.. is good for making progress with my very young pc adapted for a space shuttle).
