Hello everyone,
This is a small step by step guide how to get LogbookPro (1.11.9) Running on Linux. It should work on every distro (probably even Apple) but it has been tested to work on Fedora 16 64bit.
This tutorial assumes you have a basic knowledge of linux and you have sudo rights.
-Install wine and cabextract
-start wine configurator from your start menu and set it for windows 7 (it started for me with downloading Gecko)
-Back into the terminal:
Follow the on screen instructions.
The allfonts and riched20 gave me a few errors but these can be neglected.
Get 2 DLL files of a windows computer (assuming the same version as you have set, but who knows... I didn't test this)
-scrrun.dll
-oleaut32.dll
(both these files should be in your c:/windows/system32/ folder)
Copy both these files into your wine windows:
/home/username/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/
Now start Wine File program. This will open a "explorer" like window. Select top left menu "File --> Run"
Now open Wine Configurator and go to tab Libraries. Here select a override for oleauth. (Riched20/30 are already in this list)
Time to install Logbook Pro. Download it and install it using "Open with Wine Windows Program Loader".
Now all you need to do is start the program. Wine has created symbolic links to documents. Select your .LBK file in the "Windows" system.
Enjoy all the functions that LBP brings to windows without the Micro$oft!!!
Last thing I did was strictly cosmetic:
download a .png logo of logbookpro (https://www.nc-software.com/newsletters/2011/03/LogbookPro.png) and use it as a icon for the desktop program. (used to be needed, but now works without doing this)
