I got the demo to work under Mandrake 9.1 using the stock mandrake wine (wine allows to run windows programs under Linux for those how don't know. Ask me for details if you want to try virtualdj under wine).

It works great (no crash, no sound skipping) except one thing:

the UI response is very very slow on my PC (Athlon 1900+ XP). It's so slow it's hardly usable. I guess even in the code that draws the UI could be greatly improved since even under the real windows the wave scrolling is a little jerky.

So my suggestion would be to optimize the drawing of the UI for future releases. It also could be wine that is slow at drawing the UI.

Running VirtualDJ under Linux could be really possible if it was not this UI slowness !

WINE site is http://www.winehq.com

It is packaged for most distribution. On Mandrake installing it done by:

urpmi wine

After that is must be configured. All the config is in the file ~/.wine/config.

Use wine tools (get it at http://www.franksworld.net/winetools/) to create this file and a fake c drive whih wille be in ~/.wine/c

You'll need to edit ~/.wine/config for virtualj to work properly:

the importtant settings in section [x11drv] :

; Allow the window manager to manage created windows
;"Managed" = "Y"
; Use a desktop window of 640x480 for Wine
"Desktop" = "1024x768"
; (useful to play OpenGL games)
"DesktopDoubleBuffered" = "Y"

and in [WinMM] for sound config :

"Drivers" = "wineoss.drv"

now you can install virtualdj:

wine virtualdj_trial.exe

after install , to launch it :

wine ~/.wine/c/Program Files/VirtualDJ/virtualdj.exe


it *should* work if your soun card is already configured uner linux.

UPDATE

using WineX 3.1 (www.transgaming.com) from CVS, which is a special version of Wine for gaming solve the UI slowness issue, so it was a Wine pbm after all.

Now virtualdj works great except some sound skipping (annoying) when using the EQ crossfader. Sound skipping is a recurrent problem with Wine (and games especially) so it might be solved.
