WineVersion (some information)

Sunday 6 September 2009 at 17:13

Following a change of environment building packages for Wine WineVersion, this versions have been updated:
- Wine 1.1.27
- Wine 1.1.28
- Wine 1.1.29

This update concerns the support of the GSM library, which is an audio compressor.
Unless you want to use this functionality in these versions of Wine, you do not need to re-install.


Wine version 1.1.29 (and probably the following) (will) uses the external library (libmpg123) to decode mp3 files (from changelog and configure script).
This library is not currently available in the build environment used.
Support decoding of mp3 files will probably may no longer work.
The installation of this library involves a loss of compatibility with distributions released before 2008 (Mandriva 2008.0 for example). Currently all distributions out since 2006 are compatible.

If the lack of MP3 support is a problem, unsupport certain distribution is also a problem. So I choose the support a maximum of distribution and leaves mp3 not supported
If he really need the mp3, there will be 2 packages, one with mp3 support but limited in distribution and package without supporting mp3 but working on more distribution

PLEASE: Run this program in console and paste the output here with the entire name of your distribution (only if nobody have post for your distribution, or if it's not the same output).
