Winetricks is an easy way to work around problems in Wine.

It has a menu of supported games/apps for which it can do all the workarounds automatically. It also lets you install missing DLLs or tweak various Wine settings individually.

The latest version can be downloaded here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Winetricks/winetricks/master/src/winetricks

Tagged releases are accessible here: https://github.com/Winetricks/winetricks/releases

Custom .verb files

You can pass winetricks a custom .verb (format below), that can be used to add new dlls/settings/programs.

Example icecat.verb:

w_metadata icecat apps \
    title="GNU Icecat 31.7.0" \
    publisher="GNU Foundation" \
    year="2016" \
    media="download" \
    file1="icecat-31.7.0.en-US.win32.zip" \
    installed_exe1="$W_PROGRAMS_X86_WIN/icecat/icecat.exe"

load_iceweasel()
{
    w_download https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnuzilla/38.8.0/icecat-38.8.0.en-US.win32.zip b9f49144f07044f12afc390acb36bf93e174e199
    w_try_unzip "${W_PROGRAMS_X86_UNIX}" "${W_CACHE}/${W_PACKAGE}/${file1}"
}

Note that the filename and command name (icecat) must match. All metadata fields are optional, only command name and category required.

Tests

The tests need checkbashisms and shellcheck installed. Makefile supports a few test targets:

• check - runs './tests/winetricks-tests quick' (without first clearing $WINETRICKS_CACHE)
• shell-checks - runs './tests/shell-checks'
• test - runs './tests/winetricks-tests full' (and clears $WINETRICKS_CACHE first)
