An area where linux software has not caught up with commercial software is html editing. NVU and Quanta Plus are improving all the time but there are times when only Dreamweaver will do.
Here is how I Installed Dreamweaver 8 into the following system:
- openSUSE 10.3 (64bit)
- KDE 3.5.7
- Wine 0.9.44
There are some issues with using Dreamweaver 8 in Wine environment that I should warn you about:
- As far as I know this only works with Dreamweaver 8, not yet Dreamweaver CS3, so if you don't have Dreamweaver you need to get an old version somehow.
- A few tabbed dialog boxes appeared blank until I refreshed them (clicked on the tabs).
- Copy/paste does not work between the wine windows environment and linux programs.
- The fonts look different and may be a different size which could be a problem for fitting text into a box.
- The built-in FTP uploading program worked OK (As good as running on Windows machine) even with AppArmor enabled which suprised me. I find it best to use Filezilla to do uploading though.
Configuring wine
First I installed wine using YAST -> Software, searched for wine and selected it for install.
Note: all the following is done as an ordinary user login DONOT login as root or use SU command.
I ran winecfg from the command line:
This brought up the configuration window:
I clicked on a few tabs and things looked OK as far as I can tell.
When I clicked on Audio nothing was configured initially but the following was generated which I left as it was.
It also generated some error messages on the command line:
I inserted the Dreamweaver 8 disk into the DVD drive.
In order to check which drive to use I typed winecfg into the command line (Konsole).
Note: the following commands seem to generate a lot of messages on the command line (see listing at the end of the page) but it still seems to work.
To install Dreamweaver I typed the following into the command line:
wine "D:/install dreamweaver 8.exe"
clicking install gives:
Click next:
accept (if you agree) and click next:
click next:
I thought it would do no harm to leave all these options selected since they will only effect programs within wine?
So I clicked on next:
I clicked on install
There was a delay then the following window.
I did not enable 'Launch Macromedia Dreamweaver 8', since I wanted to work out how to do it from the command line, so I clicked on finish.
Then from the command line I typed:
wine "C:/Program Files/Macromedia/Dreamweaver 8/Dreamweaver.exe"
This brought up the following dialog:
I selected 'coder' and clicked on OK.
I clicked on Continue, entered the serial number into the fallowing dialog, which started dreamweaver.
Setting up Wine environment
I find a white background gives too much glare when editing text so I changed the background colour to grey using winecfg as follows:
This produced the following message on the command line:
fixme:msg:pack_message msg 14 (WM_ERASEBKGND) not supported yet
but it seems to work.
Full konsole listing - Installing
When I was doing the install there were a lot of messages on the command line as follows:
