wine and catia OpenGL issues
Mike Anderson
Has anyone tried running catia (R5V16) useing wine.
I am unable to get the install of the program to start off in wine.
I have tried 0.9.27, heard about an opengl issue and went to 0.9.29.
Thinking it might be an issue with my lack of understanding of the
operation of wine I installed AutoCAD14 and Homeworld2 to know if it was
working correctly and had no problems.
I fought with the installer for a couple days and decided to shortcut and
dropped a spare hard drive into my machine with Win2K and installed catia
on it. The install worked there and the program worked fine. I booted back
to my linux (Fedora Core 5) and copied all the installed files into my
file system (Win2K is fat32 drive).
Launched catia and got a warning that no certified opengl library could be
found. The app. continued to load to the GUI and toolbars but closes in
about 3 seconds.
I pulled a opengl tester of the net and ran it under wine to see that it
would work. I have an Nvidia pci express card with Nvidia's x86
1.0-9629 driver. It reported no errorsand the video display was running
smoothly.
Any Ideas?
TIA

I've filed this problem as http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7237
Can you go there and add more detail, e.g. what the
symptoms of the install problem are?

It'd be nice to know what was on the wine console about the time the
app aborts. Perhaps you could file a second bug at
http://bugs.winehq.org
for this.
BTW this could be one of the killer apps for Wine if it were to work
well,
at least in the mechanical engineering community...

I have just found that we are getting V17 SP2 in the next couple of days
and I'm going to do a wine install and report all the errors. I'll take a
look at the bugs too.
