similar to: winehq & winex

I know this is an incredibly simple question, but I don't think I've seen anyone in this NG ask about it as best I can remember. Basically, what's the pros/cons of WineX over the standard version from Winehq? I have no problems with compiling from source, but in terms of application support and suchlike, could anyone with experience with both versions of WINE give any advice?

Hi all, I took the CVS from WineX (as mentioned on the transgaming.com Website). I downloaded fine and compiled fine. But: I have only a wine exec, but no winex. In the tools subfolder, there is a winex. But when I run it it just states, that some dir´s are missing (/usr/lib/transgaming and so on). The exec winex is only a script, no bin. Does somebody know how to build a real winex with DX8

I read on transgaming.com that you can download winex 2.1 with CVS tag winex-2-1, but what is the exact complete syntax to use to download the winex 2.1 source code?

has anyone successfully installed and played ultima online with wine? i've installed it with some older versions of wine, but i've never gotten it to run. now i can't even get it to install... with wine (codeweavers) or with winex (transgaming). in the support section on the transgaming site, several people state that they got it to install and run, but you have to be a transgaming

I am trying to get the latest CVS of WineX running on my box, Mandrake 8.1. I have run into a compile problem, and I am not having any luck finding anything about this. The configure and make depend go fine. During the make, I get the following error... gcc -c -I. -I. -I../../include -I../../include -g -O2 -Wall -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -fPIC -D__WINE__ -D_REENTRANT -I/usr/X11R6/include

I have a question in that which is the best WINE to use? Or what are the differences wineX - This is the wine from Transgaming that the CVS does not contain SafeDisc but the purchasable one does? rewind - This is the MIT/X licensed version wine - This is the LGPL version from www.winehq.com Right now I use "wine" and update from CVS from winehq.com. So which is the best one to use as

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:

I am going to try winex, but I have wine installed currently. First off, do I need to unistall wine, or should I? And how do I go about it, if yes? Thanks. Ian.

I've noticed lots of people posting to this board running ancient versions of wine. Upgrading or replacing wine is easy..but I know some of you are slighty afraid of messing what you got set up already. There are current binaries, rpms, and source here http://www.winehq.com/download.shtml I recommend getting the CVS snapshot rpm (the one on top) or to just use cvs to get the source

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 --

dont know if this is the right place to ask ..(if there is a special wineX mailinglist im sorry).. it try to run Anno 1602 with WineX, since holarse.net say its possible, i thought i can try that too :-) i got the wineX cvs from Saturday, the Setup runned out of the Box... i configured wineX to run in Desktop mode and if i try to start the game, i only hear the sound, dont see any picture :-(
