qip infium on linux

First of all, consider qutIM (fc11 repo).

For smileys to work, obtain oleaut32.dll from windows and copy into ~/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/system32/.

Run winecfg and open "libraries" tab. Choose existing oleaut32.dll or insert this item manually, edit it and select "Native (Windows)".

To avoid choppy sound, run winecfg and open "sound" tab. Choose ALSA adn set hardware acceleration to "Emulation".

Install qipinfium9030.exe into ~/.wine/dosdevices/c:/.

When you run Qip for the first time, wine detects and attempt to show a web page. Let it install GECKO or manually do it: download and install Mozilla ActiveX Control 1.7.12. Ignore installer's requirement to point to mozilla directory.

Obtain and copy msvcp60.dll into /system32. Copy Mozilla Control DLLs into /system32:

find ~/.wine/dosdevices/c\:/Program\ Files/Mozilla\ ActiveX\ Control\ v1.7.12/* -iname '*.dll' -type f  | while read x; do echo cp "$x" "~/.wine/dosdevices/c\:/windows/system32/"; done

To have correct russian character set, run as

LC_ALL=ru_RU.CP1251 wine "c:\usr\local\qip\QIP Infium\infium.exe"
