I recently downloaded Team Viewer on my Ubuntu system, so my question is:




  1. Does it run through wine?

  2. And if yes, why is this a .deb file?

  3. Is it possible to make .deb files but running with wine?



Edit: When I launched it for first time wine configuration showed up. Is it necessary to post a screen-shot for that?

.deb is a Debian Package which you can install in Ubuntu via Software Centre. It's native for GNU/Linux systems. On the contrary if you can lay your hands on a Windows version of Team Viewer, it can work through wine, mostly as silver. Check the details in WineHQ applications database.



[edit]

Yes, you can create a .deb package which runs an application using WINE. Every .deb binary package consists of at least three files:




  1. debian-binary (description text file)

  2. control.tar.gz (installation, post-installation and pre-removal scripts)

  3. data.tar.gz (precompiled app and it's resources)



Installation scripts from control can copy any structure of files and folders from data including preconfigured WINEPREFIX, also a specific WINE version and all of it's dependencies can be embeded along with a post-installation script that creates menu shortcuts with proper environment variables.
