ok, so I have installed Reason, and it works great. Still, I can only use the patch for the menus on a vanilla wine install, patched and compiled. I tried to grab the lib, share, and bin folders, and moved them to POL. It installs perfectly with 1.6-RC2, but the patch doesnt show up.

The only thing that I can think of, is since the patch is applied to wine/dlls/user32/menu.c, whatever menu.c compiles into is not contained within the lib, share, and bin folders.

Any suggestions on how to contain this in a POL install? I think that is why everytime we did an automatic build on POLs server, it didnt work, but a vanilla patch/compiled install worked perfect.

Here is the patch, too:

Any help would be much appreciated. Ive been beating my head against the wall for months. haha

Ok, so Im still learning some of the more advanced WINE stuff, but what I have figured, is that menu.c is one of the files used to compile the user32.dll.

Is there any way to put this into a POL build? Or is it dependant on being installed in /usr/share/ ?

So, Im guessin that wine/dlls/user32/* compiles into user32.dll.so, correct?

I think I accidetally compiled a 64 bit version (forgot that I cannot compile 32 bit on 64 bit correctly without chroot. Will try again.

Sweet. It works fine now with the new version of wine thats out. Im really hoping that the POL WIneBuild goes correctly with this patch.

I apologize if this is not the right place to post this.  I have Reason 5, I used your script to install.  After registration, The Reason splash screen came up, then immediately closed.  No messages of any kind, and reason did not actually boot.  Just the startup screen.  I tried copying Sound Banks manually to the virtual drive, to no avail.  I may have put them in the wrong location.  I just copied the "Sound Banks" folder to the main Reason 5 directory on the virtual drive.
 

Hm. You shouldn't have to do that. If it did that, then something happened during the install. Have you tried to delete the virtual drive and re-install it? 

Once the splash screen comes up, the registration menu is HIDDEN behind it, so you would need to alt-tab or something to get to that. 

 

The problem is, we need your debug output from POL to tell what is wrong. You don't need to copy the soundbanks. They install. I just did it the other day. 

 

post your computer specs and FULL debug log from POL, and let us see what is wrong. 

Hey,

Old thread but same problems. Why Reason 5 on Wine is consuming so much memory? Because of that it's impossible to ctrl-c tracks. Here is screenshot of 'top' on my Ubuntu 16.04: https://imgur.com/bKKVn1h. There's opened only Reason 5 and POL. Is there any way to improve it?

It would be better if I make swap memory partition?
