use CC on Linux with Wine

[erwan2970]

Bonjour,

j'aurais pu le faire en anglais mais j'ai la flemme ...

- ouvrir PlayOnLinux (présent dans le menu Jeux)
- menu de droite = installer un programme
- en bas, cliquer sur la ligne "installer un programme non listé"

Dans l'assistant qui s'ouvre (cliquer sur suivant à chaque fois que nécessaire pour poursuivre)
- suivant
- installer un programme
- nommer le disque virtuel
- cocher "installer certaines librairies"
- 32bits
- dans la liste, cocher POL_Install_vcrun2012
- aller chercher CloudCompare_2.6.2_setup_x86.exe (Ouvrir puis Suivant)

Installer le logiciel comme sous Windows
A un moment donné, cliquer sur "Install Faro I/O plugin (to load FWS/FLS files) ..."

Attendre que l'isntallation se termine. Je ne sais pas pourquoi, avec CC c'est très long !
Donc Attendre que cela se passe...

En général pour éviter des erreurs, je désélectionne Launch CC
Cliquer sur Finish

Dans l'assistant de PlayOn Linux, créer un raccourcis avec CloudCompare.exe :
cliquer dessus puis sur le bouton suivant
le nommer comme on veut

Puis choisir "je ne veux pas créer d'autres icônes" (pour supprimer CC il suffit de choisir "supprimer" dans POL, c'est plus efficace que le raccourcis Uninstall)

C'est terminé

Dans Mint et d'autres distribution, l'icône de CC apparaît sur le bureau. Il est aussi possible de le démarrer via l'interface de POL.

Bon courage

j'ai essayé d'installer la version 64bits mais il semble que POL ait du mal avec ce type de configuration. J'ai essayé de nombreux cas de figures sans succès.

CC don't work in 64 bits with POL. I don't know why...

INSTALL CloudCompare Windows 32 bits on Linux With Wine gui PlayOnLinux (term can change : I use a french version)
- open PlayOnLinux (games menu on various distro)
- right menu = software install
- down = install unlisted software

On new window :
- next
- install a software
- name virtual disk
- "install more libraries"
- 32bits
- search in the list, POL_Install_vcrun2012
- browsing CloudCompare_2.6.2_setup_x86.exe (open and next)

Install the software
don't forget "Install Faro I/O plugin (to load FWS/FLS files) ..." if you use FARO ...

The installation final processing is very long. Be patient.
(don't launch at the end)
Finish

creat shortcut with the EXE of CC
name it

never create some for "uninstall" --> it's better to use Erase in Configuration menu of POL.

Next

that's all

this is work great but it's not a useful way : not native linux, CC is slower and only 32 bits ...
If someone can use windows 64 bits with PlayOnLinux, Please tell us !
And better : if someone can make a 2.6.2 linux version ... :)

Install CC x64 windows on linux :

- open PlayOnLinux (games menu on various distro)

- tools
... wine versions ...
install wine 1.9.10 x64

- right menu = software install
- down = install unlisted software

On new window :
- next
- install a software
- name virtual disk

- use other wine version
- configure wine
- "install more libraries"

- choose wine 1.9.10
- x64
- in wine conf select the windows 7 (or more) the ok
- search in the list, POL_Install_vcrun2012
- browsing CloudCompare_v2.9.0.beta_setup_x64.exe (open and next)

Install the software
don't forget "Install Faro I/O plugin (to load FWS/FLS files) ..." if you use FARO ...

The installation final processing is very long. Be patient.
(don't launch at the end)
Finish

creat shortcut with the EXE of CC
name it

I know there is a snap version of CC but I can't run it. I have the same problem :
viewtopic.php?f=12&t=2333

I try to compile CC few month ago with many error. I'll try again later.

Now run CC x64 with Wine is the only way to use it. It's not perfect (sometimes it crashs). I use the 2.6.3 from "apt install" too.
I know it's not a good way but I have only this.

Hello,
maybe the last post here. I was on Linux Mint 18.1 with many problems (NAS server ...). I back to 17.3 with less problems but many with CC because snapd can't install. Now I'm return on LM 18.2, solved all problems (snapd, NAS, ...). And now everything is working.

I thing wine could be a temporary solution but not all the time. It crash a lot of time during working. I don't say that before because I was testing it :
I thing it's the worst way !
Don't do that if it's not only for test.

thanks

Erwan
