Downloading WineX by CVS
 

How exactly does one download WineX by CVS... i.e. what is the website and the relevant commands. BTW, I'm using Red Hat 9 (Shrike).

Thanks a lot.

1. cvs -d:pserver:cvs@cvs.transgaming.org:/cvsroot login
2. When prompted for the password enter "cvs"
3. cvs -z3 -d:pserver:cvs@cvs.transgaming.org:/cvsroot co winex

Thanks very much. I was able to download WineX via your instructions...

However, I can't get it to run. Is it because I haven't installed WINE? BTW, I type the command "winex" and it doesn't work.

Thanks

You have to compile it. You know, configure, make, etc...

Of course, it never works when I try it. :(

I did the following after CVS:

./configure
make depend && make
make install

no probs, took a long time, but it worked....

However, I type winex, or winex3, and the shell tells me that I can't find the script...

Any ideas? :confused:

try typing wine only :) LavaDevil(a member of this forum, very good with games btw) once told me that wine-CVS overwrites wine executable. So my wild guess would be by typing simply wine to get winex to run ;)

Sorry for being a bit of a pain, but I types "wine" and this is what I got. I think I need to install WINE first before WINEX...

$ wine
wine: chdir to /home/banerji/.wine/wineserver-localhost.localdomain : No such file or directory

Thanks

I use Mandrake 9.1 and I have had 0% successrate of ever compiling ANYTHING. It always ends up being that it can't find some directory or something is missing. :( I never understand why, but I read that Mandrake is just horrible when it comes to compiling.

That's is so true. I could not put in a better way. I could never compile anything with Mandrake (Last version I've tried was 9.1, the last I really used was 9.0). Redhat was a little better. But if you are going to stick with source and compiling, install Slackware and welcome to the paradise. Everything simply compiles and works with that distro :D

Perhaps this HOWTO might help: http://frankscorner.org/modules.php?...rtid=91&page=1 It worked for me with no problem.
