The Windows Outpost Setup dialog allows you to make various settings for the
Outpost.
Using Windows Outpost
If "Use Windows Outpost" has been ticked, Bibledit will try to use the
Outpost. If you don't use the Outpost, untick this option.
If the Outpost is used, more settings follow below.
Finding Outpost and Wine or CrossOver Office
A number of buttons are available that aid you in locating the version of
Wine or CrossOver Office that Bibledit will use to run the Outpost.
The "Select" button allows you to select which Wine / CrossOver Office
program to use, in case more than one was found.
The "Open" button allows you to manually choose a binary for Wine /
CrossOver Office.
The "Find" button will search through your whole system to find programs of
Wine / CrossOver Office. This may take a long time, depending on the amount of
data on your hard disk.
Networking Windows Outpost
Normally the Outpost runs on the same computer where Bibledit runs. But
there are cases that users wish to use resources that are installed on another
computer or on a virtual machine. To use the Outpost this way, tick the option
that the Outpost runs on another host, and enter the name of that host. If you
know the name of that host, enter it, for example "windows" (without the
quotes). Or if you know the IP number of that host, enter that.
Bibledit will now check whether that host is accessible.
If the Outpost runs on another host, Bibledit will not be able to
automatically start the Outpost. You need to start the Outpost manually on that
other host, and then start Bibledit. Bibledit will try to establish a
connection with it. The file bwoutpost.exe is in the bibledit source package in subdirectory outpost. There is no installation program, but you can just drag the bwoutpost.exe to the start button, and start it from there.
Bottle
You can enter a bottle to be used for the Outpost. This bottle is not used
for plain wine, but it is used for CrossOver Office. If you install a certain
Windows program in a certain bottle in CrossOver Office, enter this same bottle
for the Outpost. The Outpost can only communicate with the other Windows
program if the bottle is the same. It is important therefore to get the bottle
right.
