How to set DLL to native (Wine)

Question

I'm currently trying to setup MathCad14 on 13.10 using Wine 1.7.

Here are the instructions I'm using.

In there I'm told to:

set all DLLs to Native (especially msvcm80.dll).

I have no idea how to do this. Can anyone explain?

Solution

1. Open Wine Configure or winecfg from command-line.

2. Select Libraries tab: Enter name of DLL or select it from dropbox

   

3. Click Add, it should be (native first then built-in) → Apply

   

Notes:

• You may create new profile for MathCad from Applications tab if you don't want global settings.

• DLL override modes: It's possible to force only native or builtin DLL. But I recommend using these to cover both cases:
  builtin, native wine will try its builtin DLL then Microsoft native DLL
  native, builtin wine will try Microsoft native DLL then its own builtin DLL

  See Chapter 4. Configuring Wine

• Sometimes, it is needed to figure out which libs are loaded, this may help WINEDEBUG=+loaddll wine yourprogram.exe.

Thanks! Is there a big difference between native only and native, builtin?
