Creating custom build wine deb package

In one of my projects, I need to install custom build of wine to several computers running ubuntu.
Hence, I had to get the sources, apply the patch files and then compile the source.  Doing this for 1 computer is okay, however repeating this to several computers is a huge waste of time.

The solution is compiling once and then build a debian package (*.deb), so for the other computers we just install the debian package file. Fortunately, making a debian package is very-very easy. Here is what I did:


  1. Install wine recommended packages:
    $ wget http://winezeug.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/install-wine-deps.sh
    $ chmod 755 install-wine-deps.sh
    $ sudo ./install-wine-deps.sh
  2. Install checkinstall:
    $ sudo apt-get install checkinstall
  3. Get the wine source:
    $ wget http://ibiblio.org/pub/linux/system/emulators/wine/wine-1.3.38.tar.bz2
    $ tar -xf wine-1.3.38.tar.bz2
  4. Patch the wine sources
  5. Configure and compile:
    $ cd wine-1.4-rc1
    $ ./configure
  6. Create the deb file with checkinstall:
    In this step, instead of run sudo make install, we run checkinstall to make the .deb file:
    $ sudo checkinstall
    checkinstall will present some parameter. Modify the parameters as you like and then press ENTER to continue. At the end of the process, wine will be installed in your system and as a bonus you will have a .deb file which can be installed on other computers without the tedious process of compiling.

Program timbangan elektronik, sebuah program Windows yang dijalankan di Linux.

Kemarin, mumpung hari libur aku setup program timbangan digital baru di kantor. Program yang lama merupakan program DOS yang aku tulis dengan menggunakan Clipper, program ini berjalan dengan baik di linux dengan bantuan dosemu. Program baru merupakan program Windows. Salah satu improvement dalam program ini adalah support untuk beberapa jenis indikator. Program diinstall di linux dengan wine versi 1.1.20. Beberapa catatan dalam instalasi program ini di wine: Pencetakan slip bukti timbangan dan laporan-2 menggunakan printer Dot Matrix. Apabila pencetakan dilakukan lewat printer driver, pencetakan dengan printer dot matrix akan menjadi sangat lambat plus hasil buruk plus boros pita... :) Oleh karena itu, program ini melakukan pencetakan langsung melalui printer port lpt1. Di windows, hal ini tidak menjadi suatu permasalahan, di linux dengan wine, maka lpt1 akan dimap ke /dev/lp0. Masalahnya, owner dari device ini adalah root dan group lp. Secara default user-user di Ubuntu (..nggak tahu

NOTEPAD++ SOURCECOOKIFIER SETTING FOR CLIPPER LANGUAGE

Notepad++ is a very excellent programmer editor for Windows. It has plugin system which enhances it's functionality. Sourcecookifier is a plugin I like very much, it is a simple plugin which shows the outline of your source code. The screenshot below shows a pascal (delphi) source code. We can easily see the structure of the source code, and we can go to a particular method/function just by one click. Sourcecookifier recognizes several programming languages, but it does not support Clipper language. Fortunately, it is very easy to add Clipper configure. Follow this step: Click setting icon (the yellow gear icon) on the sourcecookiefier window. Click Language Settings On the setting form, type Clipper on the language box and click add. Set the file extension setting, add .prg to the extenson box On Tag Type choose any letter you like. Here I add “f” for “function” (any letter will be fine) On Appearance box, you can write the de
