[ixp1200] Configuring Wine for DevWorkbench

[Mihai Cristea]

Hi Jagan,

I will try to show "HOW TO CONFIGURE WINE for DevWorkbench" in more
details:


- in ./Wine/config file, you have a section starting [wine], and you
need to add c:\\IXP1200\bin in the Path variable declared there, like 

[wine]
"Windows"="C:\\WINNT"
"Path"="C:\\WINNT; .... ;C:\\IXP1200\\bin"

- you need to copy your IXP1200 directory from windows place to your
fake_windows dir.

- You also need to copy all the MFC*.dll and MSVC*.dll from your
WINNT\system32 windows directory to your fake_windows/WINNT/

Notice: WINNT is if you have Win2000 or an NT version otherwise you
might have Win or Windows. As we run in Linux, the capitals in names of
files/dirs are important (write them right in Path). Check also the
permissions of all files copied in fake_windows for user/group, too.
Now you should be able run DevWorkbench !

- the last problem you might have is trying to compile a project in
Workbench ! - at linking more specific! 
DevWorkbench uses registry settings in Windows to check if it runs in
Demo (and if the period is still valid) or if it is registered.
Therefore you need to import the registries of your windows installation
(the one you have the DevWorkbench installed) into wine environment !
You can also do partially (only the sections related to Intel
DevWorkbench). You need to run "regedit" in windows , to search for
"Intel IXP1200" key and export (File->export menu) all the keys down
from that branch position into a file (It will be a text file that you
can read it). This file you can use for importing in wine environment
(see FAQ - how to configure WINE at their web-site).
Now you should be able to compile/link your Microengines project into an
.uof file.


Good luck !
