Hi, i have compiled winex from source, and i also have windows 98 with directx 8.0 running in my computer. I would like wine not to use my real windows 98 configuration, but a new one, with its own libraries, this is because i know i should not try to emulate real Directx. I think wine can create a fake windows directory which contains all the libraries, but don't know how to create it.

Hi, I'm trying to install the game "Aquanox" under Wine which needs DirectX 8.0. I've found a mail in the wine mailing list archive stating that wine already includes DirectX, but Aquanox keeps complaining about a missing d3d8.dll. Trying to install DirectX 8.0, I end up with "DirectX couldn't be installed on this computer". Any hints on this one? Sebastian --

I've tried to install the game "Caesar 3" on my Linux-box. It worked fine during the installation. The problem appeared when I wanted to play it. Caesar 3 needed the file DDRAW.DLL I found out that it was one of DirectX's .dll-files. Isn't Wine supposed to work with DirectX without installing it? Doesn't Wine have its own "DirectX-clone"? What should I

Does the current CVS version of wine have the transgaming directX patch already in it? I'm pretty sure that I've installed wine correctly. I installed the most recent RPM available, and the Diablo II installer says that it can't find direct X. I then downloaded the tar-ball, and tried to run the transgaming patch on it, and it said that it had already been run. That's not so

Hi, I got the last stripped version of wine (010611-stripped) and no program runs on it (for me) the facts is that neither the programs that run on my old wine (010525-stripped) It just displays this: wine --winver win98 winamp273_full.exe err:seh:UnhandledExceptionFilter Couldn't start debugger (debugger/winedbg 134661728 32) (2) Read the Wine Developers Guide on how to set up winedbg or

I have Wine-20010112 in a RedHat7 box and I'm a butt newbie in wine. :) I've installed succesfully the game 'Shatered Galaxy' but the graphics are weird, it looks like a directx problem to me, so I tryed to install the latest DirectX 8 that I found in M$.com but it says something like 'This version of DirectX can't run in your Operating System'. Anyone knows a way

Hi everyone, Just wanted to let everyone know that the TransGaming DirectX development is now being hosted at SourceForge. You can get updates from our live CVS tree, discuss DirectX specific issues on the 'WineX-devel' mailing list, etc. The SourceForge project page is at: http://sourceforge.net/project/winex The CVSROOT for CVS is:

Hello, Can Wine (not Transgaming's WineX) use MS-DirectX? Are there any possible emulation method for Wine to implement so games can be run straight on Linux? - From Colin Omara. _________________________________________________________________ Join the world’s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com

How do I install the DirectX-patch from Transgaming? I run the Wine that came with Mandrake 7.2. I've tried to run the patches in all the folders that has something to do with wine. I'm using "patch -p1 < wine-something". It just says that it couldn't find the file to patch. Mikkel Mastrup _________________________________________________________________________ Get

I'm having problems compiling and linking a simple DirectX program with Wine. The problem is: a global variable c_dfDIMouse should be declared in dinput.h and defined in library dinput. c_dfDIMouse really is declared in dinput.h, but it seems that c_dfDIMouse is not declared in library dinput. During linking I get the error: undefined reference to `c_dfDIMouse'. Anyone got a clue? Thanks

Ever, not counting a special kind of DDraw games (haven't seen a single one yet, but the code is there...). AJ stated that until Wine will be stable enough it should never completely grab mouse/keyboard input. You'll need to reboot/power

Hi, today I wanted to start Monkey Island 4 with wine. I'am using cvs version of wine from today (04.Feb.2001), I also patched the transgaming directx patch into it. My system: SuSE 7.0 with KDE2.1beta2, GeForce 2MX with 0.96 NVidia drivers, Soundblaster PCI 128 (ES1371) with Kernel drivers. I use wine with installed Windows. My startup command is: wine "c:\Monkey4\Monkey.exe"

Hi all, I've checked the archives and can't find anything regarding the above so here goes: Has anyone had any luck getting GTA2 or other games that require DirectX 6.1 support working under Wine so far? I used to keep a Win95 partition on my machine specifically for this game, but recently my second disk died and I need the space for my Linux installation. Any help appreciated.

So I got wine working.... sort of. I was never able to run 'wineinstall' b/c if i try to run it under my ordinary login, it halts at 'config' and says I don't have permission, but if I log in as root, I can change directories to the /usr/src/wine/tools and I can see 'wineinstall' and 'config' as executable files (I even chmod a+x them to be sure) but when at:

I have problems running Monkey Island 3 here. Installing it works fine, but the problems comes when trying to run it. When pressing "Play Game" (I think that's what the button says), the program just wants to install DirectX 5.0. I guess that trying to install it is NOT an option, when you're using wine. Second, installing Monkey Island 4 is not successful, because you have this

I have been for a while now waiting to see if this would get fixed or improved at all, but it has not been so. What is the current status of trying to get OpenGL or DirectX programs (anything in Wine that requires OpenGL) to run on Mac OS X. I have, in all my searchings of the net, found no possible way of doing so at the moment. Wine compiles fine and finds openGL (both release version and git)

I have a couple of questions about Wine, just in an attempt to enhance my understanding of it: Is Wine writing its own implementation of DirectX, which sort of 'forwards' instructions to an equivilant in OpenGL? Is it possible to install the official MS DirectX under Wine? If not, why not? Thanks for any info :-)

When I'm trying to install DirectX, I get the following error at the beginning of installation process (after all confirmations): > A Cabinet file necessary for the installation cannot be trusted I have encountered this problem with multiple versions of wine and directx redistributables. I had no need in using directx for a long time, but looks like some features are not implemented for

Could someone please post a concise explanation of what's required to get directX working in wine? Here's what I've tried, and vaguely what happened (I'm running RedHat 7.1, new install): installed most recent rpm version of wine can't find direct X (shouldn't be surprising) uninstalled got most recent tarball of wine compiled it can't find direct X

when i try to run a game on wine it say me this error message dxerror.log and directx.log i've used winetricks procedure to install directx, what i need to do? :(
