similar to: Can Wine use MS-DirectX

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 --

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:

'bry I'd like to install (and use ;) both wine forks: winehq and transgaming's winex. Both compiled from cvs sources. Is there any way to do it? What i have to do and why? TIA -- ojciec

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

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.

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

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 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?

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

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 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

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

Just go to this link: http://spazioinwind.libero.it/nonsolomicrosoft/wineen.html and enter the winex section, just enter the page, and click on the download link to start download imediatly, no credit card or subscription required. It's the original rpm from transgaming, not a cvs build!!

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, Maybe you've talked about this many times before, but i've got a problem with DirectX. When i try to run any application that uses DirectX it just tells me that i don't have it installed on my system. The fact is that i do have it installed, and works fine in Windows ME, maybe the version is too recent? i'm using DirectX 7. My system is: Linux Redhat 6.2, Windows ME,

Apparently it is possible to run Civilization 3 under wine, but i'm having no luck. It installed fine, but won't run.

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
