This script makes it possible to run Roon on Wine. It creates a separate Wine instance in a folder; this is required for Roon.
Right now the script is very rudimentary: more stuff is coming soon. Keep in mind that you need the following programs to be installed on your Linux system:
- wine
- winetricks
- winecfg
- wget
With respect to which version of Wine... this is a bit 'hit-and-miss'.
To install Roon just clone or download this repository and run ./install.sh
Be patient, as installing the necessary components for Wine can take some time. Don't be scared of the messages that flood the console: drink a coffee and wait...
The installation is basically unattended. When the Roon installer starts you will need to click 'Install'.
When finished you can start Roon with ./start_my_roon_instance.sh
Wine is not capable (yet) to automatically scale the UI accoring screen resolution.
You can however manually adjust the scaling factor by editting the start_my_roon_instance.sh script, change the SCALEFACTOR variable and restart.
- Sensible values are betweein 1.0 and 2.0
