CVS WineX will not run programs without crashing... Please help.


I've downloaded CVS WineX and compiled it using "./configure", "make", and "make install" as root. It ran fine, except that there was an error that said that I use thread-safe OpenGL headers; it also told me to turn off OpenGL support if DirectDraw crashes.. I am currently using ATI drivers [MESA before]. Next, I downloaded a config file from www.frankscorner.org, and modified it slightly. It looks like this:

Code:
WINE REGISTRY Version 2
;; All keys relative to \\Machine\\Software\\Wine\\Wine\\Config

;;
;; MS-DOS drives configuration
;;
;; Each section has the following format:
;; [Drive X]
;; "Path"="xxx"       (Unix path for drive root)
;; "Type"="xxx"       (supported types are 'floppy', 'hd', 'cdrom' and 'network')
;; "Label"="xxx"      (drive label, at most 11 characters)
;; "Serial"="xxx"     (serial number, 8 characters hexadecimal number)
;; "Filesystem"="xxx" (supported types are 'msdos'/'dos'/'fat', 'win95'/'vfat', 'unix')
;;   This is the FS Wine is supposed to emulate on a certain
;;   directory structure.
;;   Recommended:
;;   - "win95" for ext2fs, VFAT and FAT32
;;   - "msdos" for FAT16 (ugly, upgrading to VFAT driver strongly recommended)
;;   DON'T use "unix" unless you intend to port programs using Winelib !
;; "Device"="/dev/xx" (only if you want to allow raw device access)
;;
[Drive C]
"Path" = "${HOME}/.wine/c_drive"
"Type" = "hd"
"Label" = "Dos Drive"
"Filesystem" = "win95"

[Drive D]
"Path" = "/mnt/cdrom"
"Type" = "cdrom"
"Label" = "DVD-ROM"
"Filesystem" = "win95"
"Device" = "/dev/cdrom"

[Drive E]
"Path" = "/mnt/cdrw"
"Type" = "cdrom"
"Label" = "CD-RW"
"Filesystem" = "win95"
"Device" = "/dev/cdrw"

[Drive F]

"Type" = "hd"
"Label" = "My Home"
"Filesystem" = "win95"

[Drive G]
"Path" = "/tmp"
"Type" = "hd"

Afterwards, I tried running dcom98.EXE, ie6setup.exe, and InstMsiA.exe, but none of them worked. It created the error:

Code:
fixme:win32:PE_CreateModule Security directory ignored
err:font:Fontconfig_Init Fontconfig support was not compiled in at compile time.
err:font:FTAlias_FindBestBuiltins Could not create alias for serif fonts
Unable to find a sufficient number of fonts available to FreeType.
        FreeType will not be loaded as a result.
FreeType could not be loaded.
        This is not necessarily a fatal error, however some
        applications require FreeType to be installed and
        may not function or display text correctly otherwise.
        Please consult the WineX Font FAQ for more details
        about this problem
wine: Unhandled exception, starting debugger...
err:seh:start_debugger Couldn't start debugger ("/usr/lib/transgaming_winex3/winex/bin/winedbg -1878758000 68") (2)
Read the Wine Developers Guide on how to set up winedbg or another debugger
<Note: Repeats constantly> err:ntdll:MODULE_THREAD_WaitThreadModuleSafe this should never happen. (unless wine crashed)
<Note: caused by Ctrl-C combo> err:seh:EXC_DefaultHandling Unhandled exception code c000013a flags 0 addr 0x402e1985
Could somebody please help?

BTW, it dosen't work with MESA or ATI drivers.

If this would help: I use the 2.4.26 kernel with the new 3.9.0 ATI drivers. I'm trying to compile CVS WineX as root in a bash shell. I've tried wineinstall, with the same results. Native Linux games work fine on this computer.

I would strongly recommend just subscribing to Transgaming - I played with the CVS snapshot extensively, even going as far as to change some of the code to get it to work.

I bought the membership, downloaded the RPM, and have been happily playing Counter Strike and other games since. Performance is even better than in windows.

well, there are plenty of games that will run on normal wine (not many things are only supported by winex, one reason it has come under fire)

looks like freetype faulted, so make sure you have the module freetype loading in your XF86Config and that you have some good freetype fonts available; specify the directory in the config file
*note: you will also need to add the path of the truetype fonts to the XF86Config file and /etc/fonts/fonts.conf, and run mkfontdir && mkfontscale && fc-cache -fv

good luck with winex... also, don't expect internet explorer to run well (if at all); there shouldn't be a need for it anyway
