winex trouble

[Liquid Snake]

I'm running Mandrake 9.1, I downloaded the winex RPM to install it and I get this:

[root@cb-n332-1 Desktop]# rpm -i winex-2*
error: failed dependencies:
perl(Cwd) is needed by winex-20030324-fr2
perl(File::Basename) is needed by winex-20030324-fr2
perl(File::Copy) is needed by winex-20030324-fr2
perl(strict) is needed by winex-20030324-fr2
[root@cb-n332-1 Desktop]#

This puzzles me as rpm usually displays the name of a package I can go hunt for, I'm not sure what to look for here or how to satisify these. Thanks.

*is needed by winex-20030324-fr2You have a wine installed and these packages need it or they will be broken

Try
rpm -Uvh winex-2*

or do it the easy way.....RPM's are stink-o

=================

yea no problem here you go
(this will fully install WINE)

start by typing this

mkdir /root/.wine
mkdir /root/.wine/c_drive
mkdir /root/.wine/c_drive/windows
mkdir /root/.wine/c_drive/windows/system
mkdir /root/.wine/c_drive/windows.system32
mkdir /root/.wine/c_drive/programs
mkdir /root/.wine/c_drive/windows/temp
mkdir /root/.wine/c_drive/windows/profiles/admin
mkdir /root/.wine/e_drive
mkdir /root/.wine/e_drive/windows
mkdir /root/.wine/e_drive/windows/system
mkdir /root/.wine/e_drive/windows.system32
mkdir /root/.wine/e_drive/programs
mkdir /root/.wine/e_drive/windows/temp
mkdir /root/.wine/e_drive/windows/profiles/admin

now type this-

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.winex.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/winex login

(Hit enter)-Now Type(make sure this is one line of code when u see a dropdown treat that as a space)

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.winex.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/winex co wine

Now type -(Five different codes)
Make sure you type yes for everything at the end of install)

cd /root/.wine
./tools/wineinstall
make depend
make install
make

Now type this

cp /root/.wine/config /root/

you will see these lines of code



[wine]
"Windows" = "c:\\windows"
"System" = "c:\\windows\\system"
"Temp" = "c:\\windows\\temp"
"Path" = "c:\\windows;c:\\windows\\system;e:\\"
"Profile" = "c:\\windows\\Profiles\\Administrator"

delete them and put this in their place (just hightlight copy and paste on op of the other code)

[wine]
"Windows" = "/root/.wine/c_drive/windows"
"System" = "/root/.wine/c_drive/windows/system"
"Temp" = "/root/.wine/c_drive/windows/temp"
"Path" = "c:\\windows;c:\\windows\\system;e:\\"
"Profile" = "/root/.wine/c_drive/windows/profiles/admin"

now look around the config file and when you see

[Drive C] (it will be near the top of the code)

make sure the code under it reads

"Path" = "/root/.wine/c_drive"
#"Path" = "${HOME}/.wine/c"
"Type" = "hd"
"Label" = "MS-DOS"
"Filesystem" = "win95"

when you see

[Drive E]

make sure the code under it reads

"Path" = "/root/.wine/e_drive"
"Type" = "network"
"Label" = "Home"
"Filesystem" = "win95"

Now find

[Drive D]

and make sure the code under it reads

["Path" = "/mnt/cdrom"
"Type" = "cdrom"
"Label" = "CD-Rom"
"Filesystem" = "win95"
"Device" = "/dev/cdrom"

Now type

cp /root/config /root/.wine

and then type yes then hit enter to over write the file!

AND THE YOUR DONE!!!!

to run a windows file:

type wine then the file dir and name

EXAMPLE- if you have a windows file named Game.exe in your root folder type this

wine /root/Game.exe

and it will open!!!! have a good day


Your Welcome.

Oh thanks for the CVS directions but I also want to install this on offline computers so a working RPM would be a big help.

I see no proof that winex is actually installed. I rebuilt the rpm database with no success. What kind of perl package do I need to make these errors dissapear?

[Homer119]

as u can see RPM's are not good. Use tar files

Well, for some reason Perl is dependent on winex...which is very unusual. Force the removal of the installed winex package.

rpm -e --nodeps winex-20030324-fr2

The try installing the new one

rpm -ivh winex-2003*



and Homer119, want to shorten that sig up? It's ridiculously lengthy, 1/2 page is way too much for a sig...
