Hi All, I am trying to run some of our web applications, which are specifically developed having MS IE in mind, through wine on Suse Linux.
I am just concerned that is there any license obligations to MS if we use IE or some IE related dll files in wine…???
The idea is to reduce the MS licenses and we’re that even after running the IE in Wine does it require any MS license…??
Thanks in Advance.
Jaydeep.
The developer of ies4Linux has an explanation of licensing issues here:
I see from that site’s installation page for Suse that they use “rug”, is that still valid in current versions of openSUSE? Oh, it’s for SLED 10.
Is IEs4Linux available in the openSUSE repositories?
Instructions for SLED 10 from Novell.
Step 1 - Add the Wine repository and package:
rpm --import openSUSE Software
rug sa Index of /repositories/Emulators:/Wine/SLE-10 “Wine Repository”
rug sub “Wine Repository”
rug install wineStep 2 - Insure cabextract is installed:
rug install cabextract
NOTE: cabextract is usually installed by default, it may return a message which states it is already installed or no new version is available.
Step 3 - Download and run IEs4Linux:
wget Internet Explorer, Edge and other Browsers on Linux and Mac | Alura Cursos Online
tar zxvf ies4linux-latest.tar.gz
cd ies4linux-*
./ies4linux
If you have an XP install CD consider using Virtual Box. You need a decent amount of RAM too. 1GB+
