Having trouble with winex source

[bterry13]

This forum has been a big help, and I'm hoping I can get some more help here :D

I have installed wine, and I now want to install winex from transgaming.com. I here winex works better on games. I have a few questions and they are these:

1.) I already have wine installed, so do I need to uninstall. Will it interfere with winex?

2.) I downloaded the source from here: http://www.transgaming.com/sources.php, but I need some help compiling it. When I went into the directory ~home/wine/tools, and I executed the command ./wineinstall, it responded saying something to the effect that I am running it from the wrong directory. It said change to the source's main directory. I went to the main directory (~home/wine) and executed the command ./wineinstall. It said, "no such file or directory." :o I'm just confused as to what I need to do here. Can someone help me out? Thanks in advance!

I found out the answer to my second problem, but I still can't install winex. It got an error when compiling and didn't install. Nevertheless, I think I may have answered my first question, and that is that you have to uninstall wine to run winex. If I am wrong, please correct me, but I am going to see how this goes and keep you posted. ;)

Alright, now I can't find out how to uninstall wine, which I need to do to install winex. I know to uninstall winex you type 'make uninstall,' but this doesn't work for wine. I also tried rpm -e wine, and it said package wine wasn't installed. Maybe, I didn't type the command in the right directory, or maybe I need to execute a differen't command. errr... I don't know. I need help! :confused:

[bwkaz]

It depends on if you've installed wine from source or via RPM's -- you can try rpm -qa | grep -i wine to find the package name to use on the rpm -e command line, if you installed wine from RPM's.

Otherwise, unpack the wine source again, configure it the same as you did before (that's the tricky part), and make uninstall there.

For your first first question, it will probably need to be uninstalled, yes. But you found that out. ;)

Regarding your second first question, you have to go into ~home/wine and do a ./tools/wineinstall from there.

[bterry13]

Thanks. That fixed that, but now I've run into another problem! :rolleyes:

I execute ./tools/wineinstall in the ~home/wine directory, and it starts scrolling messages through the terminal. It seems ok until bout 15 seconds with it stops. I have no clue why, but maybe someone with more experience can decipher these last few lines that I copied out of terminal when the operation canceled. Here's what it said.... actually I can't get copy and paste out of terminal to work. If someone could post telling me how to copy and paste out of terminal, I'll post the entire error.

[bterry13]

anyone?

[richjoyce]

to c+p out of the terminal, highlight what you want to copy, then middle click where you want to paste

[bterry13]

Alright, thanks for the tip :D

Now, I can continue with my problem. :p I downloaded the winex source (cvs) from transgaming.com. When I type ./tools/wineinstall (as directed) while in the ~home directory, it starts scrolling a whole bunch of text (it's compiling). Then, in about 15 seconds is stop abruptly. Below are the last few lines I receive in the terminal.

gcc -c -I. -I. -I../../include -I../../include -g -O2 -Wall -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -fPIC -D__WINE__ -D_REENTRANT -I/usr/X11R6/include -o caps.o caps.c

Looks like you need to install the Mesa-devel package to get that glu.h file.

If you're using the nVidia drivers, you might have to reinstall NVIDIA_GLX after you install Mesa-devel.

[bterry13]

What's mesa devel? I've never heard of it. In the meantime, I'll search for it on rpmfind.net and see what I can find :)

[bterry13]

hmmm... I've never had this problem before.

Whenever I try to download something on rpmfind.net, the browser loads for a while and then displays this message, "Plugin: No appropriate application for type audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin found!"

I don't know why I am suddenly receiving this error. I just tried to install Flash, if that could have anything to do with it.

[bterry13]

I got the mesa-devel package from a different mirror. The wine source is compiling as we speak. Thanks for all the help everyone.

Stay tuned, I'll probably encounter another problem along the way ;)

P.S. Does anyone know from experience aproximately how long the winex source takes to compile? It's been running about five minutes now. I've never done anything like this, as I'm new to Linux. Also, iI have 256mb ddr ram and 1ghz proccesor.

[bterry13]

sigh.. just as I posted that last message the compilation prematurely ended. :o Here is the error compied from terminal:
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/brandon/wine/miscemu'
gcc -o wine miscemu/miscemu.o -L./dlls -lntdll -L./library -lwine -L./unicode -lwine_unicode -lm

[bwkaz]

Oh, I HATE REALPLAYER!!!!!!!

Their newest stream format's extension is .rpm (well why not? they've already used .rm and .ram, and that's all there is, right? :rolleyes: ), and so is the package type that you're trying to download. Do you use RealPlayer from your browser at all? If not, you can probably disable the plugin or the mimetype. Otherwise, try just "save link as" or whatever your browser calls it.

[bwkaz]

Hey, look at that! More posts!

Anyway, it looks like inside your wine directory, there's another wine directory. Did you create this? If so, get rid of it and try again.

What's the output of ls -F in the /home/brandon/wine directory?

[bterry13]

Thanks for the help again! I'll try over. I never mnually created a directory inside the wine directory, but because I was having previous problems attempting to install wine, something could have happened there. I'll try to clear everything out.

Also, the output to ls -F is:

I tried uninstalling and manually deleting the wine folder. Then, I redownloaded the cvs. It didn't work with the same error, I think. This time it came up with the error much quicker, though. Anyways, I've got to call it a night, but I will be working on it with much determination tomorrow! :D If you can help me, please do.. I'll thank you tomorrow! ;)

G'Night!

console/ LICENSE.ReWind rc/ wine/This line is the one that was giving you problems. That wine/ directory shouldn't be there.

The "make" command, at its end, was trying to create an executable named "wine" in /home/brandon/wine, but it couldn't, because a file can't have the same name as a directory, and it didn't want to delete the directory.

Deleting /home/brandon/wine (and everything under it), and then redoing the cvs -d<xxxx> -z3 co wine should fix that at least. But it looks like you did that...

What's the new error?

[bterry13]

I got through the compilation. Then, as I was installing, I encountered another error. Nevertheless, I got the fix from searching this forum.

Now, I have winex installed, but I don't think it is configured properly. Wine had a wizard, and one could just type, "winesetup," and a wizard would pop up. However, winex doesn't seem to acknowledge this command. Does it have a wizard? Or will I have to edit it manually? I hope I don't have to do it manually, because I'm bad at that :(

[bwkaz]

I'm not sure, but you can try ./tools/wineconf from the base wine directory. wineconf is a Perl script, but I don't know if it's graphical, or text-only, or even if it does what you want.

You might also try ./tools/wineconf.tcl if the other doesn't work.
