Installating the requirements[edit]
This is an example on how to set up the requirements on a brand new Kubuntu22.04 after it's first boot.
Definitly adjust to suit your need and your distribution.
sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade reboot sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 sudo wget -nc -O /usr/share/keyrings/winehq-archive.key https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key sudo wget -nc -P /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/dists/jammy/winehq-jammy.sources sudo apt update sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-staging sudo apt install winetricks
Installing Gina[edit]
WINEPREFIX="$HOME/Gina" WINEARCH=win32 wine wineboot WINEPREFIX="$HOME/Gina" winetricks -q sapi WINEPREFIX="$HOME/Gina" winetricks --force -q dotnet462 wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/espeak/files/espeak/espeak-1.48/setup_espeak-1.48.04.exe -P "$HOME/Gina/" WINEPREFIX="$HOME/Gina" wine $HOME/Gina/setup_espeak-1.48.04.exe wget https://eq.gimasoft.com/GINA/setup.exe -P "$HOME/Gina/" WINEPREFIX="$HOME/Gina" wine $HOME/Gina/setup.exe mv $HOME/Desktop/GINA.appref-ms $HOME/Gina
Running Gina[edit]
This command will also print debug output. (may be usefull if an issue has to be corrected at some point)
WINEPREFIX="$HOME/Gina" wine $HOME/Gina/GINA.appref-ms
To remove the wine debug output, use this instead.
WINEPREFIX="$HOME/Gina" WINEDEBUG=-all wine $HOME/Gina/GINA.appref-ms
Stopping Gina[edit]
Once you close the application, there are some lingering wine process that does not stop completly.
I think it's related to Gina being a ClickOnce type application.
Using the following will do a clean shutdown of your wine Gina prefix.
WINEPREFIX="$HOME/Gina" wineserver -k -w
What works[edit]
- Pretty much everything that I managed to test so far
- Text to speech included
What does not work[edit]
- N/A
