Downloading WineX by CVS

banerji · 02-09-2004, 07:17 AM

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?

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

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