Hi I am running Slackware Linux 8.0 with Kernel 2.4.5 and perl 5.6.1. I have my windows partition(D:) mounted at /windows and my fat startuppartition(C:) at /dos. Windows itself is found in /windows/windows. I tried installing Wine-20010824 using wineinstall and these are the problems I had: - When wineinstall was searching for existing windows installations it said: 'Windows was not

I run Mac OS X 10.6.5. There are a bunch of Windows programs I would very much like to run, and my latest OS update broke my copy of CrossOver Games, so I decided to get Wine. None of the ten binary download packages on the download page said Mac anywhere on them, so I decided I would have to download the source code and run from the command line. I don't like this, since I'm not

I've done some work getting the patches from http://starcraft-wine.sourceforge.net/ working with CVS wine. Using the patch I'm including, starcraft works perfectly on my machine, run as root using DGA on a 640x480 XF86 layout. In particular the changes to event.c enable the mouse and keyboard with DGA. The changes to input.c make the mouse acceleration work the same in all directions.

Dear All Hi, I am using ./tools/wineinstall to compile and install Wine-20050310 with all default settings unchanged except `prefix' in ./tools/wineinstall. which I have changed to prefix=/usr/local/Wine. But wineinstall exits with the following error message:{{{ make[2]: Entering directory `/ext3/pkgs2/ztmp/Downloads/Wine-20050310/wine-20050310/programs/winetest'

Hi! I get this error when I'm trying to compile wine 0911 release on Red Hat Fedora (with gcc-3.3.1-5) using the tools/wineinstall script. Can someone please tell what is wrong? I could't compile last month's wine either. There was a segfault at the end of the installation process, when it reached some "wine registry". make[2]: Entering directory

Hello, I have compiled the source of wine for the first time but I had not installed any package as flex and I get an error message. This error only showed that you must install the package, but in English and would rather useful for people who compiles for the first time, appeared in their language. You simply could detect the language before starting to compile a file and include constant

I have never had a problem compiling wine before and now am getting errors when compiling the 1.0 rc3 version I am using the ./tools/wineinstall script and get the following error: Code: . . . gcc -c -I. -I. -I../../../include -I../../../include -D_REENTRANT -fPIC -Wall -pipe -fno-strict-aliasing -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wwrite-strings -Wtype-limits -Wpointer-arith -g -O2 -o menu.o

First of all, I'm using wine source code tar file version 20020804. I ran wineinstall to compile and install wine on a Linux-only machine (Mandrake 8.2). It creates the windows directory alright but the system and system32 directories don't have any dll's or registry information in them. Doesn't the install process setup a fake registry? Do I have to copy one from a

Hi! I'm having problems with installing Wine. I have downloaded Wine from CVS, and tried to install it with tools/wineinstall, but got some errors. This comes from my shell: [wayne@wayne wine]$ ./tools/wineinstall WINE Installer v0.73 I see that WINE has already been configured, so I'll skip that. We need to install wine as root user, do you want us to build wine, 'su root'

Howdy. I have SuSE 7.2 and installed wine via YaST (wine rpm). I do not have windows on my computer at all. The docs tell me to run tools.wineinstall, but I do not seem to have that on my system. I'm stuck. I've created C:\windows, C:\windows\system, etc. and I can run the command wine --version, but that's it. Ideas? Thanks :)

Hi, i had installed the wine by wineinstall.Here is the result : Installation complete for now. Good luck (this is still beta software). If you have problems with WINE, please read the documentation first, as many kinds of potential problems are explained there.

Hi, I started using Wine (v. 20020804, compiled from tarball using /tools/wineinstall) only a few days ago, and right now I'm trying to use simple programs such as mIRC or WinMX 3.22. I read FranksWorld.net's guide on how to make the latter work with Windows 9x dll's, and it worked like a charm. For all those interested, you can find it here:
