wine users - Feb 2005 - installing wine from cvs alongside deb package

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Hi.

I'd like to know if there's a way to install the latest CVS wine for
testing purposes while the debian package is still installed?
To be a little more precise I'd like the two installations to share one
fake_windows tree, maybe I might have to store the registries in
different locations.
I'm running wine_0.0.20040914-1_i386.deb on Debian 3.1 (sarge) and have
the latest snapshot (Wine-20050111.tar.gz) updated from CVS as is
described on the wine website.
I've also built it already but am hesitating to install as it says in
the docs that one should uninstall "conflicting versions ... like deb
packages".
The thing is that as I understand it, the stuff included in the package
wine-utils will not be built from wine source and so I don't want to
remove the package. The only problem here is that it depends on libwine
and wine, so I will need to keep those installed and find a means of
having a parallel install of the CVS wine.

Any help, and/or experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Hello.

I don't have Debian, but I use several wine-winex versions simultaneously
(wine package, wine-CVS and winex-CVS).

When you ./configure, give the --prefix were you want wine to be installed
(for exemple /opt/wine-CVS).

After the build, make install will put everything in this directory. You can
then select which wine you want to use by setting WINEPREFIX to where you
stored the config file and INSTALLDIR to the same directory you gave to
--prefix.

You then have to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to $INSTALLDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH so
that ld loads the correct libraries for the wine version you want to use.

In your config file, set the C: drive accordingly ("Path"
"/path/to/your/fake/c/drive").

See you.
