  • Please consider submitting your test results for running this software under Wine.
Become a Maintainer
Please consider volunteering to be an additional Maintainer for this software.

Regularly Submitting results for installing and running on the latest version of Wine makes a big difference for others considering using Wine. By looking at how well the software runs others can be encouraged to try it themselves and together you can make progress in finding workarounds. By testing the software you will also notice when something breaks and when you make a bug report, the bugzilla team will often point it out to the person who broke it. If you are slightly more technically minded, you are able to regularly compile wine and test it before each fortnightly release then you will catch breakages before each wine release.

  • Who can be a Maintainer? - anyone. no programming experience required.
  • What is required of a Maintainer? - not much, but you do make a real difference.

A big advantage of being a maintainer is that as you quickly become familiar with installing and using wine with your software, you can have a direct hand in improving wine and your software. Many times you will find very handy tips posted by others and by posting a summary many benefit from your work. When you are asked a question you don't know, simply post in the wine-users forum and perhaps someone can help.

Just by being there, you make a difference. A maintainer quickly tests each monthly release of wine, and adds to the application database a rating of how good it runs.. gold/silver/bronze or garbage. Wine is constantly being improved, and occasionally something breaks. When you do spot a breakage, file a bug in bugzilla and if you want to try and fix it you can then post to the wine-devel mailing list for advice. However, if you have a little spare time (usually about 2 hours, in between doing other things) regression testing allows you to identify which patch caused the break. By filling out a bugzilla report, posting the name of the software, and the patch which broke it to the wine-devel mailing list, the developer who broke it can have a look at fixing it.

  • This often results in very quick fixes.


[edit] Installation

Anon: [Mar? 05] There is no real Howto for WinAMP. The NSIS installer works like a dream.

[edit] Running Winamp

If you have configured your sound the proper way, you should be able to play at least the MP3 files.

[Dec 05] Alsa and Jack have had some issues noted in the lists, but some have found OSS better. Set the sound using winecfg.

Anon: [Mar? 05] However, Winamp 5 can be installed, but requires direct ActiveX support, so nothing will work after loaded. Even if Internet Explorer or other versions of ActiveX present, it will not work.

[edit] Forum Comments

A user asked: [Nov 05] Is there any program that can broadcast music on internet or LAN, except shoutcast which requires winamp ?

David: Shoutcast doesn't require Winamp - many MP3 player softwares can handle the playlist format that Shoutcast uses. I use Kaffeine. wine archive
