If you want the CVS of WineX, this article on Frankscorner.org does a great job of explaining what to do.

Basically, those long commands tell it to download the most current code of WineX. So, it may be buggy. The only version of WineX that is free is the CVS. Normal wine, however, is free.

will winex do everything that wine does??

the reason i want to run winex is coz i want to run games

but i also want to run things like kazaa and 3d studio max

I could never get Kazaa to work in WineX. However, it worked great in normal Wine. WineX is much better for games. Wine is much better for normal applications. The problem is you can't have CVS WineX and Wine installed together. If you bought WineX, then you could.

oh ok, weird.

check this i downloaded winex via the link you gave me (cheers for that by the way) and then when i ran:

Code:

./tools/wineinstall

about 5 to 10 minutes into the compile i get this:

Code:

make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/neo/wine/dlls/winsock'
rm -f libws2_32.so && ln -s winsock/libws2_32.so libws2_32.so

CVS is for developers only, and is frequently unstable. If you don't have experience of building large software from CVS, you should subscribe and support TransGaming.
