Void can you...

[CaptainCool]

Add a tutorial to your site on how to use wine and wineX? It would really help me out since I can't get it to work.

[voidmain]

Hmmm, I don't even really use Wine(X) so I am no expert with it but I didn't have any problem downloading the CVS, installing it and getting StarCraft up and running. I believe I went over everything that I did in another thread but I could add it to my list of things that need a tutorial/tip. Unless someone else were nice enough to donate an "easy to follow" page formatted in the same way I have my other tips I would be happy to add it. I don't want to swear I will have one soon but if I feel froggy who knows I might have one up before the end of the night. I'm easily side tracked so....

Thanks dude, I been wanting to get it working for awhile.    

Also does Kazaa or Grokster work with wine?

[voidmain]

You are asking the wrong "dude" that question. I've never used any file sharing utility in my life. Don't have a need for them.

Kazaa Lite does, but it needs extra DLLs from Windows (I didn't really use it, I just wanted to see if it'd work. . .)

(i'm not sure if thats the site... but search for "franks corner wine"  on google to look afor a good wine website)

[jrigby]

just use lime wire it has a linux version

[Kintaro]

Lime wire rules

[choasforages]

shit wire you mean. its horrible, and sucks ass on downloads, can't find anything. slower then pitch dripping

try GTK-gnutella for a change. its very fast, i mean, VERY FAST. and it supports using more then one host to download a file. is written in c instead of java, requiring less software and work. if your big into kde thogh, qtella is pretty sweet too

Transgaming have per-game forums on their website (http://www.transgaming.com) which should tell you everything you need to know.

WineX in not very good with normal apps because it is made from an old branch of wine and has been tailored for games.

Getting it from CVS is very easy, but if you are not sure, use this script:

if test "$1" = "proxy"
then
   echo "Enter proxy (eg: proxy.pandora.be:8080):"
   read http_proxy
   echo "$http_proxy" > $HOME/.GetWineXproxy && echo "info stored ..."
   exit
fi
http_proxy=`cat $HOME/.GetWineXproxy 2>/dev/null`
test -n "$http_proxy" && export http_proxy

if test "$1" = "upgrade"
then
   echo "Upgrading Helper script ..."
   Upgrade="1"
   shift
fi

export GetWineXName=`basename $0`

function CheckOK ()
{
   if test "$Upgrade" = "1"
   then
      if ! rm -f "$GetWineXFile"
      then
         echo -e "Could not remove $GetWineXFile\nAborting..."
         exit
      fi
   elif test -e "$GetWineXFile"
   then
      Test=`tail -n 2 "$GetWineXFile"|grep "#end"`
      if test -z "$Test"
      then
         echo "Helperscript incomplete, getting new"
         if ! rm -f "$GetWineXFile"
         then
            echo -e "Could not remove $GetWineXFile\nAborting..."
            exit
         fi
      fi
   fi
}

GetWineXFile=`which GetWineX 2>/dev/null` ;CheckOK
if test -e "$GetWineXFile"
then
   GetWineX $@
   exit
fi
GetWineXFile="$HOME/bin/GetWineX" ;CheckOK
if test -e $HOME/bin/GetWineX
then
   $HOME/bin/GetWineX $@
   exit
fi
GetWineXFile="./GetWineX" ;CheckOK
if test -e ./GetWineX
then
    ./GetWineX $@
else
   mkdir $HOME/bin/ >/dev/null 2>&1
   cd $HOME/bin/
   echo -e "\n\nGetting helper script ... please wait\n"
   if wget http://ting.homeunix.org/GetWineX
   then
      chmod +x GetWineX
      ./GetWineX $@
   else
      echo -e "\n\nCouldn't download .. Try again, and/or contact ElmerFudd"
      echo "For manual download:"
      echo "  Goto http://ting.homeunix.org/cvs_wine/changelog.html"
      echo "  Download GetWineX, using the link around the top"
      echo -e "  Put it in <home>/bin/ and chmod +x\n"
      echo -e "FEATURE:"
      echo -e "  If you are behind a prosy, try this:"
      echo -e "  $GetWineXName proxy"
      echo -e "  after proxy info is entered, just run again as normal.\n"
      rm -f GetWineX
   fi
fi
 

Just paste that into your favourite text editor and save it. Then 'chmod +x' it.
This script has the added bonus of allowing you to install CVS WineX and straight wine side-by-side, which would seem to be ideal for you.

Hope this helps.

What game in particular are you trying to run?

Thanks for the help dude, I'm really not trying to run any game now just mostly want to get the file sharing working and a program called rpgtoolkit. If I can get those two going good then I could trash those windows cds that keep screaming at me when I'm trying to find a mp3.

[CaptainCool]

I'm running into alittle problem here when compiling. After I ./configure everything seems to work fine and it tells me to "make depend and make".
So I do the make depend and it works fine then I do the make and this is where the problem starts here's what it says:

make[2]: Entering directory `/home/ed/wine/winex22/dlls/d3dgl'
gcc -c -I. -I. -I../../include -I../../include  -g -O2 -Wall -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -fPIC -D__WINE__  -D_REENTRANT -I/usr/X11R6/include -o caps.o caps.c
In file included from d3dgl_private.h:5,
                 from caps.c:18:
../../include/wine_gl.h:31:20: GL/glu.h: No such file or directory
make[2]: *** [caps.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/ed/wine/winex22/dlls/d3dgl'
make[1]: *** [d3dgl/libd3dgl.so] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/ed/wine/winex22/dlls'
make: *** [dlls] Error 2

Now it says "no such file or directory" so is there somthing else I have to download?

You need to have open Gl drivers for this to work, this means you need either:

Nvidia Linux drivers
or
Mesa and Mesa-devel packages
installed.

Then it should work
