1) Don't use linux unless you know how to google.
2) When you have learnt google, search for "dc++ linux" ( http://www.google.se/search?q=dc%2B%2B+linux )
3) Click on the First link ( http://linuxdcpp.berlios.de/ )

Everyone is supposed to download from the hubs, - I don´t know why, but I never do anymore.

This is not Wine, but... see this, anway.

DCPlusPlus 0.674 works perfectly with Wine; has been working for a while. If you are going totally native, turn off "Show Progress Bars for transfer (uses some CPU)" otherwise DC++ WILL crash.
Alternatively you can grab a 'comctl32.dll' from your windows directory and add that. Just make sure to emulate a Win98 system and all'll be fine.

I am talking about Wine, not windows! With wine you can run DC++ under linux.Carraya wrote:No it won't since win98 doesn't run DC++ 0.674, but then again you can fix it...tomi2005 wrote:Alternatively you can grab a 'comctl32.dll' from your windows directory and add that.

The problem is the Unicode layer on Win98 (unicows.dll), if WINE's unicode layer implementation is better than Win98's there should be no crash...

Yup that is correct, but to do the emulation right, you need an original windows disc, and if I remember correctly, if trying to emulate win98, it won't allow you to use the newer discs for install... On the other hand I got it working fine with emulating XP, even if it isn't as stable as windows (now that is an oxomoron worth something).yakko wrote:wine doesn't emulate anything. It's a recreation of the win32 API under Linux. The "win98 emulation" I think is more in how Wine looks and acts. And you can use 2k/XP dlls if you need to, so instead of using a win98 dll, try a more recent version.

you shouldn't need any windows discs for Wine. Here's the description from the Wine site:
so in theory you should be able to load up DC++ and have it just work, but they're probably not at that point yet, so that's why you might need actual windows DLL files. Hopefully you won't need them forever though.Wine is an Open Source implementation of the Windows API on top of X and Unix.
Think of Wine as a compatibility layer for running Windows programs. Wine does not require Microsoft Windows, as it is a completely free alternative implementation of the Windows API consisting of 100% non-Microsoft code, however Wine can optionally use native Windows DLLs if they are available. Wine provides both a development toolkit for porting Windows source code to Unix as well as a program loader, allowing many unmodified Windows programs to run on x86-based Unixes, including Linux, FreeBSD, and Solaris.
Well theory is good, but last time I checked, that so didn't work. but seriously after actually getting it to work, I haven't spend much time at all trying it out.yakko wrote:so in theory you should be able to load up DC++ and have it just work, but they're probably not at that point yet, so that's why you might need actual windows DLL files.

You don't need a windows disc for wine. DC++ works with wine without any extra files. I repeat you DON'T need any extra files to get it to work. And with this said this previous message is not correct in any way:
