 Access Grid Wine for Slackware 12.1 & 12.2

Overview
The Access Grid Wine (agwine) packages available here are built on and for the Slackware 12.1 and 12.2 distributions. These agwine packages  are exactly the same as the ordinary wine package for Slackware, 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.

Please advise of any problems to the contact email address below.


Installation

From SLackware 12.1 onward, the use of slapt-get is the preferred installation method for the agwine package. It is assumed that if the AccessGrid toolkit is already installed then slapt-get will also be already installed (since it is now the preferred method of installing the AG toolkit on Slackware). It is also assumed that the UQVislab software repository has been added to the system. In this case, install agwine by running the following command (as root) in a shell:
slapt-get --install agwine


Configuration
Further configuration of the new Wine environment before GWare can be installed and run successfully. Please return to the GWare/XAP400 step by step guide for full configuration details.

Additional Fonts
The various additional fonts are installed by running the the following command (as root) in a shell:
slapt-get --install msttcorefonts

Issues
No known issues - everything works here. Please advise of any problems.
