[gentoo-user] Wine and h.264

[James]

Hello,

I'm certainly very new to Wine. I'm trying to test
this software on Wine and Gentoo:

http://www.hikvision.com/en/enproducts1.asp?tid=25&bgclassid=12&classid=25&act=d

Hikvision Client Software 4000 V2.0 (Build 090813)

it allow H.264 encoded software to be viewed on a PC. It works well
on Windows, but, I thought I'd give it a whirl on Gentoo.

I emerged wine (1.1.12), copied the executable to my dir
(/.wine/drive_c/windows) and tried to run it. Somehow
I ran the install shield program, but none of the exe
files work.

Did I botch the process? I have not used wine, in a
very long time....

suggestions and examples to follow on installation/config
and running windoz apps are most welcome.

If I recall, vlc has a x264 USE flag for the h.264 codec.
Do you just want t  see if it works on wine?
How are you trying to run the exe files?

Cheers

I need this application, as it receives h.264 streams from their hardware
encoders (surveillance) system.

I installed q4wine. I manually ran the install shield and it put the executables
and dlls into this dir:

/home/james/.wine/drive_c/windows/

If I go through the kde 4.2 desktop(q4wine), the app shows up. Attempts
to run it result in bouncing app but no softare gui opens up.....
If I go to the dir and type
./<name.exe> it cannot execute the (binary) file.
Permissions are OK.

Obviously I've munged things up as I could not find a guide on installing
an app with wine:

http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Wine

is not detailed enough to be useful for me.

James,

try doing "wine <name.exe>"

OK, so I cd to this dir:

~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/NVR Server

then entered wine NVR\ Server.exe

and it cannot find files that are in the exact
same dir. So I guess it is a path problem?

During the running of the install-shield I just
used the default dir setting for choices.

How to fix or delete and start over?

Don't even bother with stable wine. keyword it in package.keywords, merge 1.1.32 and try again.

Wine changes rapidly - 1.1.12 is 3 months behind

 If memory serves, MFC42.DLL is something that doesn't come with wine due to the fact that it is a Microsoft-only DLL.
That seems to be breaking everything else. :/

A previous poster mentioned MFC42.DLL

Install that using winetricks by Dan Kegel (Google will find it for you)
