Installing Wine


Ive reformatted and reinstalled Mandrake 10 about 9 times now, I'm not JOKING, its really been about 9 times... now the whole problem is, getting Wine to install.. on their site there is 2 types of Wine downloads, one is RPM download which is binary, and the other is source download which you must compile yourself. There are 2 types of RPM files to download which are as follows:

wine-20040615-mdk1.i586.rpm
wine-20040615-mdkdebug1.i586.rpm

well i went ahead with the first RPM file, which installs by itself when I click on it, but then i try opening Warcraft 3 Installation file from the cdrom, and it doesn't open, so I download and install the other file, and then i can get the war3 installation to OPEN!.. but then it says that it detects Windows 95 as my operating system and does not allow me to install Warcraft 3, that's because warcraft 3 doesn't run on windows 95. I go and I look for the config file, to see if i can change anything, but no luck there, I couldn't even find the config file, and others had this same problem..

Am I installing it wrong? Can someone who successfully installed Wine please guide me step by step? I've been trying 2 days straight now without any success, any kind of help would be greatly appreciated!

-Thank you, David

You shouldn't have had to install the "debug" version, but if it runs, I guess you're already set.

Your config files are located in "/home/yourusernamehere/.wine" ".wine" is a hidden folder, so you'll need to give yourself the ability to see hidden files by going into the "View" menu and clicking "Show Hidden Files" or something similar.

If you set up your repositories you can install WINE using the control centre, you can also install XWINE which is a nice GUI to configure and run WINE without having to mess with the configuration files manually.

You can set up your repositories using this website: http://urpmi.org/easyurpmi/index.php...&prefix=#third
