Any progress on this Max? I have boatloads of people who are willing to migrate from XP if AutoCAD 2008 works on WINE.
Well... no :-) I could install and run 2008, even with Register Today screen, it's enough to use native shlwapi.dll and, IIRC, native GDIPLUS. That said, autocad 2008 has still many small caveats and bugs under wine. I could manage to make it "usable" to some extents, but I'd not recommend it for production usage. OTOH Autocad 2005 works about perfectly with the patches and native shlwapi (which is required just for register today window). I'm using daily for my job and it works like a charm, sometime better than on native xp. Only remaining caveat is that text drawing with TT fonts is very very slow... I'm digging into it by now.
What surprises me is a bit of lack of interest on applying the 2 patches that makes it work to the mainstream. One is totally harmless or even corrects a bug in opengl; the other needs just a test on windows, which I can't do.
