wine users - Jun 2008 - Official Nowshining WINE UPDATE THREAD (June 18 2008)

This thread is the official thread on this site/forum that will updated to show
when I compiled a deb, etc.. of WINE  So please check this thread after a new
WINE version has been released to see if I created a deb file, etc.. and when
and where to download it if the hosting site has changed.

If you don't see a newer version - please keep checking about at least once
a day as it may take me some time to know when a new version has been released
and to compile/debify it.

Ty. Here is the Readme I included in the zip file: Remember My specialty now is
for i386 and for the Ubuntu GutsyGibbon 7.10 of the Ubuntu Operating System so I
don't offer a guarantee of it working  on any other distro smoothly. again
Ty and I do hope it works for you.

A new reply (bump) if it gets kicked to the next page on the forums will be
added and the date i updated the thread with a new WINE ver. will be in the
title. Dates are in PST time.

...................................................

1.) Important: FIRST Remove the older WINE version from synaptic, apt-get,
adept, etc.. -

What's Diff. in this one from the last one I compiled (besides the
differences/bug fixes, etc.. in the actual WINE program, etc..) - well the rc5
of 1.0 didn't incl. scanner, etc.. development files/programs when
installing, however this time I got all the needed lib-devs before compile time
so it should of compiled for everything.

That I'm going to start to include this readme and zip it up with it before
I upload to a site to host it however the above what's diff. will either be
the same or diff. Prob. diff. on the next compile and the same on the rest.

FAQ: 

Q: Do you optimize the code for your specific cpu, etc..?

A: No I just usually do make and then sudo checkinstall -D make install - this
time I'm learning how to do make dependency first when doing a make so that
way my programs that I make/compile work better for others example: make depend
&& make.

Q: I use RPM, slackware, etc.., Can I use debs on my system?

A: No, however install alien from your local repo and it should be able to
convert the deb to an rpm, slackware, etc.. but I don't guarantee anything.

Q: I installed alien how do I do the conversion?

A: Use sudo if you can and do the following in the temrinal/CLI depending on
your distro.

...........................................

RPM:

sudo alien -r pathtofile/file
............................................

Stampede slp package:

sudo alien --to-slp pathtofile/file

...........................................

LSB package:

sudo alien -l pathtofile/file..

..............................................

Slackware Tgz package:

sudo alien -t pathtofile/file

................................................

  -r, --to-rpm              Generate a Red Hat rpm package.
      --to-slp              Generate a Stampede slp package.
  -l, --to-lsb              Generate a LSB package.
  -t, --to-tgz              Generate a Slackware tgz package.

................................................

Q: Okay above I see nothing about what to do for the package my distro uses,
what do I do?

A: Sorry do a search on the net to see if there is a program that will convert
to your local distro, etc.. I don't know how to convert to those kind of
packages, again sorry.

Q: How do I install this baby?

A: Look at your distros Documentation if you converted to see how, however in a
GUI the usual way is to double-click and it should bring up a graphical way to
do so. If using ubuntu a double-click should do the trick and follow the
directions from there.


Q: Okay I finally got this thing installed, what do I do now?

A: Do what you did before - start a Windows game, program, etc.. if you want u
can see if it installed properly by going into the wine config program and going
to the about tab of which it should show version 1.0.

Q: I use a 64-bit OS what do I do?

A: Do what I did for i386 if using ubuntu checkinstall should be installed by
default and become a maintainer for the 64-bit platform like I did for the i386
one.

Q: Okay on ur 64-bit Q and Answer - does that mean I'll have to compile from
source?

A: Yes it does, once you get the needed libraries it's quite easy - when
compiling in ubuntu or another disto if can install build-essential from the
repos and if the ./configure has errors, remeber any libs needed are the -dev or
development versions which can usually be found in your distros local
repository.

Q: Okay I compiled for the 64-bit platform, distro, etc.. What do I do now?

A: Upload it to a sharing host, etc.. or if your on a fast connection and/or can
have high uptimes of being connected onto the inernet then you can host it on
your computer. Then go to winehq.com and sign up for the forums and announce it
for everyone and the link to download (one post if can allow one for letting
others know of any updates). Then go onto the linux forums, etc.. that your on
and let everyone know of your compile (one post if can allow one for letting
others know of any updates) and give a bit of time and u'll see a lot
downloads. :).

Order is Oldest to Newest ie: oldest version I compiled will be @ top &
newest will be the last one.
