I'm new to linux community and I want to install wine from cvs. I loked here http://www.winehq.com/site/cvs but I understan it... i mean I entered in the console: export CVSROOT=:pserver:cvs@cvs.winehq.org:/home/wine cvs login everything fine then i entered: cvs -z 3 checkout wine and I get something like this (this is the end after it stopped doing "something"): U wine/tools/wrc/genres.h U wine/tools/wrc/newstruc.c U wine/tools/wrc/newstruc.h U wine/tools/wrc/parser.h U wine/tools/wrc/parser.l U wine/tools/wrc/parser.y U wine/tools/wrc/readres.c U wine/tools/wrc/readres.h U wine/tools/wrc/translation.c U wine/tools/wrc/utils.c U wine/tools/wrc/utils.h U wine/tools/wrc/wrc.c U wine/tools/wrc/wrc.doc U wine/tools/wrc/wrc.h U wine/tools/wrc/wrc.man.in U wine/tools/wrc/wrctypes.h U wine/tools/wrc/writeres.c Ok so what do I do now? Compile it somehow? How? Where is the source code? PLEASE HELP P.S. Sorry for my english ;]

I have to ask, because 100% of old Windows users I have encountered, usually try to do things with the hard way, when there are very easy alternatives they could do. If you want the cvs version, you propably want to be a wine developer? If not, are you sure the latest release version isn't good enough for you? If isn't that much older, but should be more stable. If the latest release version is good enough for you, what Linux distribution you are using? There are quite a few packages ready to be installed on various of Linux distributions.

And as complex Linux source code goes, Wine is relatively easy to compile and install from source. Do these steps (from the directory you were in when you did the CVS checkout): cd wine ./configure make depend make That last step will take quite awhile the first time, possibly half an hour or so. Be aware that you will need to have several packages installed first. Of course, you will have needed to install all the compiler tools. You will also need the development packages installed for things like alsa and fontforge. The best thing to do is to go through the config.log file after running the ./configure command, and see what it says are missing.

The above steps generally should be done as an ordinary user. To install, do: su - (type in your root password) cd your_wine_directory make install
