Using IrfanView in Linux (Ubuntu)
I succeeded by combining information from the Wine User Guide: Chapter 4.1 and some very good tips from Tom Wickline and from the Wine Wiki about winetricks.
So here we go:
Download IrfanView + Plugins
Create a directory IrfanView in: /home/user=your-home-directory/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Program Files/
Copy both files (iview425_setup.exe and irfanview_plugins_425_setup.exe) to: /home/user=your-home-diretory/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Program Files/IrfanView
Open a Terminal and give in:
sudo wget http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks
sh winetricks
# You will get a list: mark “mfc42”
# For an explanation: see:
# http://www.wine-reviews.net/applicat...with-wine.html Then continue in your Terminal with:
wine "c:\program files\irfanview\irfanview_plugins_425_setup.exe"
wine "c:\program files\irfanview\irfanview_plugins_425_setup.exe"
# Remove both setup files from /home/user=your-home-directory/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Program
# Files/IrfanView
# And surprise, surprise: For the first time since years, my IrfanView works under Linux.
# The only thing I did not find out is how to tell my Linux system (Ubuntu 9.04), that it should use # IrfanView as the standard programme to open pictures. I have to start IrfanView and then go to # the diretory with my pictures and then it works. Maybe someone can teach me how to tell my
# system to open pictures always with IrfanView.
