Wine 1.7.35

Wine 1.7.35 released, you can install on Ubuntu 15.04 vivid Vervet, ubuntu 14.10 Utopic Unicorn, Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr (LTS) and Linux Mint 17.1 Rebecca, Linux Mint 17 Qiana via PPA

Wine stands for “Wine is not an emulator” and it is an open source command-line software that’s capable of translating Windows API calls into POSIX calls on-the-fly for integrating Windows applications into your Linux/UNIX desktop. For regular Linux users, the above means that the Wine software will allow them to run applications which are designed to be installed only on Microsoft Windows operating systems.

The Wine development release 1.7.35 is now available.
What’s new in this release:
  • Beginnings of support for OpenGL core contexts.
  • Initial support for glyph placement in DirectWrite.
  • Some more WBEM objects.
  • Various bug fixes.

Numerous GUIs exist

PlayOnLinux, Crossover, Q4Wine, Bordeaux, Pipelight, Swine, WineXS, and winetricks are some of the most popular Wine GUI (Graphical User Interface) front-ends on Linux. On Mac OS X you can use the Wineskin, WineBottler and osxwinebuilder apps. Also, the application is not only supported on the Linux platform, as it is also compatible with other POSIX-compliant operating systems, such as BSD (FreeBSD, PC-BSD), OpenSolaris, and Mac OS X.

  1. Why can't the PPA install do all the dependencies install

    Or you guys show us how… eh?

    The following packages have unmet dependencies:
    wine1.7 : Depends: wine1.7-i386 (= 1:1.7.38-0ubuntu1)
    Recommends: gnome-exe-thumbnailer but it is not going to be installed or
    kde-runtime but it is not going to be installed
    Recommends: ttf-mscorefonts-installer but it is not going to be installed
    Recommends: fonts-horai-umefont but it is not going to be installed
    Recommends: fonts-unfonts-core but it is not going to be installed
    Recommends: ttf-wqy-microhei

    1. In case “dpkg” indicates missing dependencies, complete the installation by executing the following command:
      $ sudo apt-get install -f

      Delete
    2. sudo apt-get install -f does nothing on an amd64 platform

      I've got a challenge for you… using wily-desktop-amd64.iso or vivid
      Bust must be for an amd64 x86_64
      Take a USB and put Vivid or Wily make it persistent or not but recommend persistent due to space requirement of wine dependencies…

      and tell me how you installed it WITHOUT the [ sudo dpkg –add-architecture i386 ]
      cli command. Adding the i386 architecture is requied due to wine1.6-i386 dependencies. Show your work… Step by Step Commands

  2. Thank you very much!!
    I was really sad because I was not able to use wine from the standard PPA, because there were some problem with its installation.
    Now it is working perfect!
