Overview
The Access Grid Wine (agwine) package available here was
built on and for the
current Debian stable distribution, etch.
This agwine package is
exactly the same as an ordinary wine package for the etch environment, except that an
additional patch has been applied which enables correct serial port
communication when using the GWare application. GWare is the
configuration software for the ClearOne (Gentner) XAP400 hardware echo
canceller.
Only the i386 architecture is supported for this package under Debian etch using the standard apt-get or Synaptic tools. See below for instructions about installing agwine on amd64 systems.

Installation
Synaptic
method:
Create a new file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/uqvislab.list
containing the
following lines:
deb
http://www.vislab.uq.edu.au/debian etch/
deb-src http://www.vislab.uq.edu.au/debian etch/
deb-src http://www.vislab.uq.edu.au/debian etch/
(or add these lines via the Installation Media
tab of the Settings->Repositories
widget of Synaptic)
Next, open the Synaptic Package Manager
and refresh the package
information (use the Reload
button, or select Reload Package
Information from the Edit
menu). Now search for and
install the msttcorefonts and agwine
packages. A number of prerequisite packages may also be automatically
installed.
apt-get method:
From a shell, run the following
commands:
sudo
wget http://www.vislab.uq.edu.au/debuntu/sources.list.d/etch.list -O
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/uqvislab.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts
sudo apt-get install agwine
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts
sudo apt-get install agwine
Configuration
Further configuration of the new Wine
environment is required before GWare can be installed and run successfully.
Please return to the GWare/XAP400 step by step
guide for full configuration details.
Download
The Access Grid Wine packages for
Debian etch are also
available from the download directory,
after which completely manual installation with dpkg would be required.
Issues
Installation on amd64 machines is a special case;
the 32bit version is installed and run using a 32bit compatibility package.
First, use Synaptic to install the ia32-libs package or, using apt-get run:
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
Now manually download the latest 32bit version of agwine from the UQVislab repository (it will be named something like agwine_0.9.45_i386.deb; just choose the most recent version). Now, in the directory in which the package was downloaded, run:
sudo dpkg -force-architecture -i agwine_0.9.45_i386.deb
(again, replace the name of the package with the version that was downloaded).

Otherwise, no known issues - everything works here.
Please advise of any problems.
