http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16448 Summary: Wine should use Mono and Gecko already installed in the system Product: Wine Version: 1.1.10 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: neptunia(a)mail.ru Wine FAQ says Wine is not an emulator, but in fact, it works as emulator - it does not enhance Linux API, but simply creates virtual Windows system completely isolated from other parts of the system. * If one runs a .NET based program, Wine requires Win32 Mono to be installed under Wine, instead of Mono already installed in system. * If a program tries to do html rendering, Wine requires a web engine to be installed under Wine, not using already installed in the system. * If a program needs Flash, Wine requires an instance installed under Wine. * If a program uses some fonts, Wine requires the fonts to be in Wine's fonts directory and does not use already installed in the system (and Wine's fonts cannot be used by a Linux application) * Windows drivers loaded under NDIS wrapper cannot use Wine's APIs, that's why the functionality of NDIS wrapper is so limited (and Wine cannot load Windows drivers even NDIS-compatible). This leads to douling in functionality, incompatibilities and limitations. I think Wine should fully utilize the systems already provided with system and allow other programs (that may benifit from it, such as Mono and NDIS wrapper) to use Wine's APIs. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
