James Hawkins suggested using native comctl32 as a workaround to get IDA running.
I don't want this sort of thing in the docs: it's too transient, and I hope we'll fix it rather then document it. If you want to capture this sort of information somewhere, the AppDB would be the place.

That particular comment takes up ~10 words in the text and will save everyone that's getting started with Wine debugging hours of their precious time. It might even cause some people to stick with Wine because they have a good, working disassembler, instead of giving up on that account. Not mentioning it and wasting their time just because of a puritanical POV on what "belongs in the docs" is rude to them, IMHO.
I'll be happy to do yet another documentation update when Wine reaches a state where it works out of the box.
Alternatively, I could put everything regarding IDA into the AppDB as you suggest and then send a new patch which links to it from the docs?

That would be much better imo.

Yes, that would be better. That is, you can point people to the AppDB entry for tips on how to get IDA to run. Maybe that has a better chance of being maintained, I know the docs won't be.

Right, it does make more sense. I've applied for super-maintainership so I can add all the existing (available) versions to the appdb. When that, hopefully, comes through, I'll submit a patch which simply links there.

I just made you supermaintainer for this application. Thanks for your help maintaining the AppDB.
Hope you like this one better! All mention of wineconsole (winedbg) and DLL overrides moved to the AppDB.
Changelog: [[[ * winedev-debugger.sgml: - Link to AppDB for IDA Pro. - Move 'useful programs' to it's own section2. - Add <xref>s instead of naming sections. ]]]
