Running Database Workbench under Wine on FreeBSD
Updated April 2004

One of our customers reported being able to successfully run Database Workbench under Wine on FreeBSD 4.8 - here's his report:
Wine install: (on FreeBSD 4.8)
(as root)
cd /usr/ports/wine
make install
(as user)
mkdir ~/c
cd ~/c
mkdir windows
cd windows
mkdir system
cd ~
mkdir ~/.wine
cp /usr/ports/emulators/wine/work/wine-20030408/documentation/samples/config
~/.wine
vi ~/.wine/config
* change "Path" = "/c" to "Path" = "/home/[username]/c"
Wine install done. Do a source ~/.cshrc to pick up the new binaries
Database Workbench (DBW) installs without modification, but an error at the end occurs.
So far, it seems harmless.
To run it, I needed three files from a windows box:
- c:\windows\system\hhctrl.ocx
- c:\windows\system\ODBCCP32.DLL
- c:\windows\system\MSVCRT40.DLL
Put them all in the directory for DBW (In my case, ~/c/Program
Files/Database Workbench/)
Save MSVCRT40 with a lower-case extension - something in a .bpl file needs
it that way.
After that, cd into ~/c/Program Files/Database Workbench, and run:
wine DBWorkbench.exe
It complains a little about ODBC, but I'm not using that.
The gui arrived, and it all seems fine.

Update:
Another user recently reported:
Succeeded to run DBWorkBench on Linux using wine-20030217.
Copy following files :
- gds32.dll
- hhctrl.ocx
- odbc32gt.dll
- odbcad32.exe
- odbcbcp.dll
- odbcconf.exe
- odbcconf.rsp
- odbccp32.cpl
- odbccp32.dll
- odbccr32.dll
- odbccu32.dll
- odbcint.dll
- odbcji32.dll
- odbcjt32.dll
- odbctrac.dll
into ~/c/Windows/System
This works fine on my box, without ODBC complains
