fangbite Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 Yes I am that dummy. I've looked at various how tos to download and install the winex cvs version but nothing has worked for me. I first tried the how-to on this forum but when i followed the step which states to open a konsole and tyepe cvs -d:pserver:cvs@cvs.transgaming.org:/cvsroot login i get a bash error where cvs is not found. I was at the website as told and did everything according to the how to. Then I downloaded WineX CVS from source forge (which i couldn't get anything to work under) and upgrade it to the transgaming version by what they said. But i had no idea what to do with the code once it loaded (i was told by one to copy paste it into konsole but what happened was it crashed) CAN ANYONE HELP ME?????????? I need either 1)help getting installing WineX CVS from scratch or 2)help upgrading from the sourceforge version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidzoo Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 Try installing cvs and then going through illogic-al's FAQ on installing WineX through cvs. Install cvs by opening a console, su to root, and type: urpmi cvs That should work for you.

fangbite Posted May 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 Everything worked great up to the point where i tried to configure the file. In konsole i got the following error: *** The sdl-config script installed by SDL could not be found *** If SDL was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in *** your path, or set the SDL_CONFIG environment variable to the *** full path to sdl-config. configure: error: *** SDL version 1.2.0 not found! i'm new at linux and unix so I have no idea what to do about this.

liquidzoo Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 My guess would be that you don't have SDL installed. [Coruscant//liquidzoo]$ rpm -qa | grep SDL libSDL_mixer1.2-1.2.5-3mdk perl-SDL-1.20.0-8mdk libSDL_image1.2-1.2.3-3mdk libSDL_net1.2-1.2.5-2mdk libSDL1.2-1.2.7-4mdk libSDL_gfx10-2.0.10-1mdk libSDL_ttf2.0-2.0.6-4mdk [Coruscant//liquidzoo]$ Make sure that you have those files (probably different versions, but same files) installed and it should work. I guess the libSDL1.2 file is the file that you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fangbite Posted May 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 I ran the code u said but i still got the exact same error when i tried to configure using the code : ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-x --enable-sdldrv --enable-opengl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fangbite Posted May 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 Ok i got the install file created but what do i do with it? I tried double clicking it in gui to no effect and typing it in konsole. Do I need some special command or am I already done with it all and just need to run some executable file in the winex directory? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidzoo Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 I believe you need to mount your game cd and type: wine /path/to/setup.exe and it should work and install your game just fine. A word of warning, though. WineX doesn't seem to like the 2.6.x series kernel very much atm. At least, the pre-packaged version doesn't.

fangbite Posted May 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 I tried what you said but konsole stated : wine: chdir to /home/john/.wine/wineserver-aldur2 : No such file or directory The install file i made, i could not figure out how to run it. Could this be the problem? If so could someone please tell me how to make it run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fangbite Posted May 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 Can anyone please help me. No matter how I configure the wine x i get the following error: wine: chdir to /home/john/.wine/wineserver-aldur2 : No such file or directory What do I need to do to fix this problem?

fangbite Posted May 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 note on above, this is when i put the following code in: wine /home/john/steaminstall.exe or any such piece of code. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 just do: mkdir /home/john/.wine/wineserver-aldur2 if it complains that .wine doesn't exist, make it first with: mkdir /home/john/.wine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidzoo Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 ok, first off: Does the directory /home/john/.wine/ exist? When I tried to install WineX through cvs, it created the .wine/ directory in /root If that's the case for you, the fix is pretty simple. Open a console and su to root. Then type the following commands: cp -r /root/.wine/ /home/john/ chown -R john:john /home/john/.wine/ That should work for you. I remember having to do that the last time I tried the cvs route for WineX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulSe Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 This is a repeat of a thread we had only two weeks ago. You must use the search engine before asking questions. But to repeat myself: CVS is easy, but $5 is nothing to ask for the software - freeloading will kill Linux, blah blah blah ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
furfurdemon666 Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 I was told in #WineX on freenode IRC to do the following after downloading WineX via CVS: ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-X --enable-opengl --enable-pthreads and so on with the make commands and it works wonderfully.
