EAC under Wine

Question

After countless hours of frustration I decided to make this post.
I have pestered people in many IRC channels, dug through forums, and exhausted the bug comments at winehq.
These are the steps I have taken to try and make it work. They are a combination of things I saw in the bugzilla stuff on winehq but nothing seems to help.
>I install wine with pacman
>run WINEARCH=win32 winecfg
>mount a cdrom to /media/cd
>in the 'drives' tab of winecfg I path to /media/cd
I then click the 'Show Advanced' button and select CD as the type
>I make ~/.wine/dosdevices/d: a symlink to /dev/sr0 (my optical drive)
> I make sure my user owns /media/cd and /dev/sr0
>open the EAC install exe with wine
>run regsvr32 sql* in the EAC dir
>run EAC.exe with wine
>Set the interface to the native win32
>close and reopen EAC
at this point I get EAC to open but it is frozen. There is no cursor, I can't click, and hot keys don't work. It would seem that there might be another dll that is not getting registered. Here is a pastebin of what it looks like when I run EAC.

I am convinced this has something to do with either an unregistered dll or a problem in how my drives are set up in winecfg and the ~/.wine/dosdevices dir
Is there anyone out there who is successfully running EAC under wine who could let me know how it's done?

Answer 1

hmmm, the latest eac runs fine for me under wine on my arch64 system (multilib libraries installed of course) under kde; I'm ripping a cd right now as a matter of fact.  I never mounted my audio cd's when I ripped them though.
I think I set my cd drives for autodetect in wine's config gui, ran the eac install and followed the blowfish guide for setting up my drives and compression options.  Sorry that I cannot be more of a help
