Joost

Postby davkt » Tue Jun 26, 2007 14:54

Hi All,
Has anyone here managed to get Joost running using wine? I've followed the instructions on the Gentoo forum http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-55 ... art-0.html and all is going OK till I get to the the log in screen. As soon as I try to enter my user ID the login box vanishes and Joost just sits there on the splash screen.
Cheers
David

Not sure but try to check if wine is not missing a part of it or something in deps that does this.

emerge -uD wine --pretend

Might have to install something linked to wine to get this fixed.

Heck could even be a font or java ?

no linux version or source code yet ? weard .

the linux version of joost is coming later, they are only beta'ing on windows, because (just a guess here) much larger possible user base to beta test for you.

Joost is a bit of a nightmare. It doesn't allow proxys and will interperate a lot of Router-based connections as a proxy. I never got it working, even on a VM.
