— Following a suggestion in an email on the FLEx discussion list from May 6, 2015, I got this to work by installing the most recent version of PA in a 32-bit wine prefix, as follows:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
Following instructions here (http:\/\/www.myscienceisbetter.info\/how-to-create-a-new-wine-prefix-or-bottle.html<\/a>), I entered this from a terminal:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
> WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=”\/home\/<your username>\/.local\/share\/wineprefixes\/wine-pa” winecfg<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Case is important, and the webpage didn’t take this into account. His first “winearch” was lower case. This also appears to be a default place that winetricks looks for wine prefixes. You might be able to put it somewhere else, but then you might have problems getting winetricks to find it.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Then, this to install Phonology Assistant, if you’re in the same folder as the PA Windows installer you’ve downloaded:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=”\/home\/<your username>\/.local\/share\/wineprefixes\/wine-pa” wine start .\/Pa-Setup-3.6.2.msi<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This installed fine, but when I tried to run it, it complained that I needed to install .Net 4.6.2. Winetricks doesn’t have that — they only have up to .Net 4.0 or something which I didn’t write down — but this webpage (https:\/\/appdb.winehq.org\/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=34702<\/a>) says it’s possible with a repackaged installer from here (http:\/\/repacks.net\/forum\/viewtopic.php?t=7<\/a>). This gets installed with:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=”\/home\/emj\/.local\/share\/wineprefixes\/wine-pa” wine .\/dotNetFx462_Full_x86_x64_Slim.exe<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Then it runs fine — or at least, it can run and access things like exported Toolbox databases — but I had font problems, as described in the other email thread. I tried to install MS core fonts, MS tahoma, and Chinese fonts using winetricks, and tried to manually install a lot of other phonetic fonts into that bottle (located in \/home\/<my username>\/.local\/share\/wineprefixes\/wine-pa\/drive_c\/windows\/Fonts), and tell PA to use one of those fonts, but the problem didn’t seem to be resolved.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Anyway, hopefully this will be helpful if anyone else is trying to run PA without a virtual machine. I’ve also submitted this information to the WineHQ app database for PA.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
