WineX CVS for dummies please

[phunni]

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 ;)

freeloading on winex won't kill linux though... ;)

[tyme]

We shouldn't condone freeloading, even if we disagree with a companies product or it's way of business. It's what gives Linux users a bad name.

 

but anyways, did we solve the problem? Looks like we did ;) No need to discuss further, eh? :P

Thank you Mr. Moderator, for keeping us on topic.

Not trying to get off subject again but.

 

You may need to just simply stuff for a while. I am no expert but I can get around a linux box and I still use Point2Play over winex. Its just to simple to use.

 

Freeloading or not, how much is your time worth? Some things you may want to spend a great deal of time to learn. Others you may want to spend a little and make it easy. How do you want it? For some 5 bucks is a lot of money. In the US maybe its a pack of cig's (or a gallon of gas).

 

I pay 5 bucks a month for Point2play (winex). and its works great. No command line needed.

 

BTW I also use it for a lot of other Window$ programs. It handles a lot of stuff wine cant.

A couple of things.

1)Sorry i wasn't able to test out the solutions earlier but I've been loaded down with finals and havn't been able to try out anythign till now.

2)I'm all for paying 5 bucks for a program. I'm not for paying 5 bucks for every month I plan to use the program. Thats what microsoft wants and frankly i'm not willing to pay tons of cash if I plan to use this program for years to come in addition to any windows games I plan on buying.

3)I created the directories as suggested and I got this error:

wine: '/home/john/.wine/wineserver-aldur2' must not be accessible by other users

I have no idea what it means by that. I tried going into root and saying the ownership was mine but the same error message came up. Any suggestions?

On your second point, I belive you can just sign up for a month or two, which gets your more support from transgaming. Also you get udate/upgrades as they become available, and as long as your a memeber.

3 Month minimum (15 bucks).

 

Sign up for 15 bucks and just cancel before your third month billing period.

I've been following this thread and got to the point where it says this: "wine: '/root/.wine/wineserver-Alex' must not be accessible by other users". I changed the permissions for group and others to forbidden and now I get this error: "wine: exists lstat socket : No such file or directory"

hey

 

after downloading i get this

[root@localhost winex]# ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-X --enable-opengl --enable-pthreads

checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu

checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu

checking target system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu

checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes

checking for gcc... no

checking for cc... no

checking for cc... no

checking for cl... no

configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH

See `config.log' for more details.

 

i also tried

./configure --prefix=/usr --with-x --enable-sdldrv --enable-opengl

the same thing showed up and some more:

 

Mutex destroy failure: Device or resource busy

ICE default IO error handler doing an exit(), pid = 12813, errno = 0

 

what went wrong?

[chris:b]

Reading these lines:

 

checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cl... no
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH

 

....

....

it tells you that you need a compiler if you want to compile stuff.

 

# urpmi gcc

 

Good luck!
