Before going too far, be sure to run CrossOver's fix tool. From a terminal, change to CrossOver's binary directory (/opt/cxoffice/bin
or ~/cxoffice/bin
) and run the following command:
/opt/cxoffice/bin/cxfix --auto
or
~/cxoffice/bin/cxfix --auto
Running cxfix
should install the libraries most likely to be needed by Windows applications.
You can also run cxdiag
, CrossOver's diagnostic tool, to check your computer for missing libraries and other potential problems. From CrossOver's binary directory, run the following commands:
./cxdiag
./cxdiag64
The output from cxdiag
is a list of libraries CrossOver typically needs. Additional information on resolving issues found with cxdiag
is available here.
