To All Winex Gurus

[Laslo7]

I hosed the install of winex lastnight and need to know how to uninstall it. Any insights. I am using the tar ball from Evil3d.

Also when installing winex do you run the ./tools/wineinstall as root or as a user?

Laslo7
cd into wine directory
type make uninstall
and it will remove it

C L O S E R you are the winex Guru thanks.

Now do I install as root or as a user? The README is a little vague in this regard. What I was doing was installing as Root then as a user but then I had glu.h and xpm issuses. But after work I will have a working copy of wine.

First you install as root and make sure all is working well.

Then do the same steps over as user but this time wine will detect that winex is already installed and will only create a config file for that user as well as installing a fake windows for that user in his home directory

user example

/home/user/.wine
/home/user/c/fake windows


root example

/c/fake windows
/root/.wine

You are the guru.

K, I found this thread cuz I needed to uninstall the wonderful wineX tard-ball. I installed to find out that it was crazilly uncompatible with my Cd-Rom and Floppy for some reason. And wouldn't run any games whatsoever. So... I decided to uninstall. Uninstall went well until This happened and the uninstall aborted: make[1]: *** [uninstall] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/wine/include'
make: *** [include/__uninstall__] Error 2
[root@CPE024470009047 wine]#

Not cool. Because if I can't get it uninstalled I can't try any other version of wine. please help.

OK, I can see that make encountered an error. But I can't see what that error was, so I can't tell you what the issue is! ;)

What were the five or six lines before that *** Error 1 message?

Are you sure this is the same source tree you installed wine from (or did you do like I did and configured this tree with a different --prefix than the one you're trying to uninstall)? It's trying to remove files from /usr/local/include/wine, but that directory doesn't exist (normally not a problem, but they're dumb; they wrote their Makefile to cd into that directory first, then delete the files :rolleyes: ).

You might be able to at least continue the uninstall by doing a mkdir /usr/local/include/wine and then another make uninstall...

Hopefully...

This isn't really nessecery as when you run wine as a user it will notice that you don't have the directory yet and copy over all the settings and build the font list....


bwkaz...I never noticed that it cd's the the directory, huh...I'm half blind (that's why I turn all my video settings way down in games...j/k ;))
