Wine Internet Explorer

[Pi_User5]

Is Wine Internet Explorer still under development? It's useful to have around if I haven't installed Firefox. It seems to be almost done, but a progress bar in the status bat and the ability to download would be nice. It would be nice to have a shortcut in the start menu or on the desktop to it.

Wrong place to ask, Wine IE is Wine's so any development that happens is done by them.

Yeah, the correct place to ask is either the WineHQ Forums, or one of the WineHQ IRC Channels.
If you get an answer perhaps you could let us know here though, eh?

[Pi_User5]

Sorry! I thought Wine Internet Explorer was developed by the ReactOS people. I will go do that and post the reply.

I posted on the forum and am waiting for a response.

Is it possible I could compile the ReactOS accessories on their own using RosBe and not the whole operating system and how would I do it?
Example: Wine Internet Explorer, Paint, Calculator

[Forever Winter]

If you give the module that you like to build as parameter, only that module (and the ones it depends on) will be build. For example "ninja calc" will build the Calculator, "ninja paint" will build Paint
and "ninja iexplore" will build Internet Explorer.

AND the needed dependencies of course...

[justincase]

But Wine Internet Explorer isn't included in ReactOS' source is it?
Won't "ninja iexplore" only build ReactOS' iexplore.exe (and it's dependencies) which is if I understand correctly is just a stub without any rendering engine that will start Wine Internet Explorer's iexplore.exe if it's present?

[EmuandCo]

Err, what? We have mshtml.dll from Wine which loads Gecko Runtime if not already there. We have Wine's iexplore.exe which is a minimal browser FROM Wine's Codebase and which is synched in ours. It's using the mshtml library and thus Gecko Engine. Amine should be updating iexplore in the near future to version 1.7.27 as he does with all stuff right now. mshtml is synched already.

Oh, well that's good news then, either I remembered wrong, or what I remember reading was either wrong or about something old that's been replaced.

If it were developed by the ReactOS people, wouldn't they have called it "ReactOS Internet Explorer" rather than "Wine Internet Explorer"?

My post on the Wine Forums is waiting to be approved.

I guess that would be right then.

Not sure of if this is any use. The people over at WINE told me to browse this:
http://source.winehq.org/

Internet Explorer Code: http://source.winehq.org/source/programs/iexplore/

We use a recent Version of it. Theres nothing more they added yet.

Is is possible that a shortcut to IE could be placed on the startmenu during installation. Am I also correct that WINE Gecko is included with the releases (Example 0.3.16)?
