Iyo inoshanda sei
Chinangwa cheWill project ndechekugadzira "shanduro ye" kushandiswa kweLinux uye dzimwe sangano rekushandisa rinoshandiswa POSIX rinoita kuti vashandisi vashandise vana veMicrosoft applications panzvimbo idzi.
Iyi shanduro yakagadzirwa nehuwandu hwepurogiramu iyo "inobudisa" "Microsoft Windows API" ( Application Programming Interface ), asi vateereri vanotsigira kuti haisi emulator mupfungwa yokuti inowedzera imwe shanduro yemapurisa pamusoro pebasa rekushandisa, iro yaizowedzera kuyeuka uye kuverenga pamusoro uye kushatisa kushanda.
Pane kudaro Waini inopa dzimwe DDLs (Dynamic Link Libraries) dzinodiwa kuti dzishandise maitiro. Aya ndiwo maitiro emapurogiramu emapurogiramu ayo, zvichienderana nekushandiswa kwawo, anogona kunge akabudirira kana kuti akabudirira kupfuura maWindows mahara. Ndokusaka vamwe MS Windows apps vachikurumidza kukurumidza kuLinux kupfuura paWindows.
Vhidhiyo yekutsvaga yewaini yakaita hukuru hunobudirira pakuzadzisa chinangwa chekuti vashandisi vashandise Windows mapurogiramu paLinux. Imwe nzira yekuyera iyo kufambira mberi ndeyokuverenga nhamba yemapurogiramu akaedzwa. Wine Wine Application Database iye zvino ine zvinyorwa zvinopfuura 8500. Zvose hazvishandisi zvakakwana, asi zvinowanzoshandiswa neWindows Applications zvinoshanda zvakanaka, zvakadai sezvinotevera purogiramu nemitambo: Microsoft Office 97, 2000, 2003, uye XP, Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Internet Explorer, Microsoft Project, Microsoft Visio, Adobe Photoshop, Quicken, Quicktime, iTunes, Windows Media Player 6.4, Lotus Notes 5.0 uye 6.5.1, Silkroad Online 1.x, Half-Life 2 Retail, Half-Life Counter-Strike 1.6, uye Hondo yeHondo 1942 1.6.
Mushure mekuisa waini, maWindows applications anogona kuiswa nekuisa CD mumodhoni yeCD, kuzarura firiji yegoogle, kuenda kuCD directory ine sangano rinogadziriswa, uye kupinda "wine setup.exe", kana setup.exe iri chirongwa chekuisa .
Paunenge uchiita mapurogiramu muwaini, mushandisi anogona kusarudza pakati pe "desktop-in-a-box" mode uye mahwindo akabatanidzwa. Waini inotsigira zviri zviviri DirectX uye OpenGL mitambo. Kutsigira kweDirect3D yakakosha. Kunewowo Wine API inobvumira vateereri kuti vanyore software iyo inotanga iripo uye bhinari inowirirana neWin32 code.
Iyo purogiramu yakatanga muna 1993 nechinangwa chekushandisa Windows 3.1 mapurogiramu pa Linux. Pakupedzisira, zvinyorwa zvedzimwe sangano rekushanda kwe Unix zvakagadzirwa. Muongorori wepakutanga webasa racho, Bob Amstadt, akapa chikwata ichi kuAlexandre Julliard gore rakatevera. Alexandre ave ari kutungamira basa rekuvandudza kubva ipapo.
