What distro are you using?
Currently i using Manrake v9.1 and i think of install it on my Redhat v9 on another system.Does it make a difference between each distro?Quote:
Ther is no diference installing wine on Redhat and Mandrake
The first par is oK
gunzip wine-20030408.tar.gz
tar -xvf wine-20030408.tar
make
make install
Now, if you succesfuly end the prior steps, you have to configure some things like fake_windir and some others. So i recomend you install WineSetUpTk. wich is a GUI Setup for wine, so it will make the configuration easy.
Here is the link to download.

You need a ./configure --prefix=/usr in there before make.Quote:
gunzip wine-20030408.tar.gz
tar -xvf wine-20030408.tar
make
make install
I just installed giFT and then entered winex in the search box..
then selected the .tgz file..
then I typed ( in the /root/.giFT/complete folder )
installpkg winex3_3.0-1.i386.tgz
then I pressed enter and inserted a windows game of my liking..
mounted the CD and typed: winex3 /mnt/cdrom/setup.exe
What do you mean by this?Is this i require to type this command like this?Quote:

Code:gunzip wine-20030408.tar.gz
tar -xvf wine-20030408.tar
./configure --prefix=/usr

Yes, that's it.
What is this command meant for?Is this refer to bring the files to the usr folder?Quote:
./configure --prefix=/usr
You have to run the ./configure script before you compile most software in Linux. By default, user-compiled software will install to /usr/local, while most package managers like RPM install to /usr. This opens up the possibility of having multiple conflicting versions of a package installed. The --prefix=/usr option overrides the default and installs the software to /usr so that it will overwrite any old versions.
I always use the --prefix=/usr option when I compile software. Things just go better.
Thank Problemchild.I currently still face another problem in getting the winsetuptk run my window.exe.

I am stuck over here.
I cannot find my window.exe and i search through file:/home/username/.wine/fake_windows(all are .dll file and no window.exe).I also no do understand what does it meanCode:To start windows programs directly from KDE, click on a windows .exe file, you will get a window asking what program KDE must use to load the file. In the high part of the window you can type the location of the program, write /usr/bin/wine and select the "Remember this application to open this type of file" option, then click on OK. From the next time onwards just click on the program and it will start.
There is a new Wine release every month, if you download a new version of Wine, you don't need to redownload the winesetuptk rpm or run winesetuptk again.
If you do an upgrade, remember to remove the old version of Wine from your system first, if you use Mandrake, you can do that from the Software Manager. Wine now has (Some) Direct3D support, and it's improving rapidly, so you don't have to use only winex for direct3d games, even if it probably works better for most games.
If the file doesn't download properly, right click the link, and choose "Save as" or "Save link as."
Can anyone pls offer your help to me?Thank.Code:To start windows programs directly from KDE, click on a windows .exe file, you will get a window asking what program KDE must use to load the file.
the ./configure --prefix=/usr installs wine as the root directory of /usr. for example wine's configuration file will then be in /usr/etc and its binaries in /usr/bin. the most common root directories for installs are
/usr
/
/usr/local
