I'm still not sure how I did it, but I managed to use the link http://wiki.winehq.org/GitWine for the latest development version, and even installed git (blind man navigating New York City streets). So now all I have to do is Code: git fetch ; git rebase origin to stay up to date. My question is how do I run programs with it? When I do the normal Code: wine setup.exe for example, it says that I don't have Wine installed. The reason I'm trying to do this is because the Wine in the repository won't even install Warhammer or EQ2 (for example), and the steps to install Wine manually get about as far as uncompressing the thing to my computer. lol I sure wish I knew what voodoo your clever Linux users were using to get this program to work right. I had thought I understood computers pretty well until I installed Jaunty Jackalope and tried using Wine [Embarassed] [Shocked]

[Wine] Re: How do I use the developers version of Wine 1.1.20?
I think that the download link for Ubuntu needs to be changed to http://www.winehq.org/download/deb. The process they have in the current page just led me to ... well read the above. The deb process was very easy to follow, so now I'm just stuck with a "BadWindow" error... whatever that is. Sooo here we go again lol [Laughing]

For wine follow this steps: 1.sudo apt-get build-dep wine (that should get all dependencies required to build wine) 2.sudo apt-get install checkinstall (this tool will allow you to build .deb package of wine after compilation) 3.(in wine source dir) ./configure && make depend && make OR if your CPU have many cores: ./configure && make depend -jX && make -jX where X is numeber of cores your CPU has After (hopefully, successful) compilation just type: sudo checkinstall and follow instructions there - it should install wine at the end - if it won't just install it by hand: sudo dpkg -i wine_<something>.deb Now you are all set, just type wine appname.exe to start something ;] -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The process they have in the current page just led me to ... well read the above.That already is the download link for Ubuntu binary package; there's nothing to change. My guess is that you mistakenly clicked on link for git on the Announcements page. The links for source packages, binary packages, and git are very clearly differentiated on that page. Reading before clicking is generally a good idea. As far as getting further help, you need to tell us what version of Wine, what app, and post console output.

I had thought I understood computers pretty well until I installed Jaunty Jackalope and tried using Wine ?[Embarassed] ?[Shocked]It's really easy, after you do your: $ git fetch ; git rebase origin every day, Monday - Friday, then do: $ ./configure && make depend && make To compile the newest version, simply do: $ sudo make install to install wine to /usr/local/bin. Assuming that is in your $PATH (it most likely is), then you can again use $ wine foobar.exe as before. You can verify the version with: $ wine --version which will likely say something like 'wine-1.1.19-153-g55ad3fd'. -- -Austin
