Hi all,

Unfortunately I encountered a huge problem to installation of wine on CentOS 5.4 64biti, so I need your support. I´m beginner in linux especial in CentOS, so I need step by step somebody tell me how to made installation.
On CentOS is much difficult comparison with my expectation, but I need installed on CentOS.

So, I waiting any advice or suggestion, much early is possible.

I have already downloaded version wine-1.1.37

Thanks to all in advance for support and understanding.

Best regards.

It is generally better to install (with YUM) a package prebuilt for Centos rather than start from any generic source or build from the original project (such as wine).

I'm not sure this info is still current. But last I checked, you needed to enable the Extras repository before installing Wine with YUM.

See
http://centos.karan.org/
for enabling the Extras repository (Fedora Extras rebuilt for Centos), then as root type
yum install wine

This is better howto : http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories

Latest wine packages (I do not know how stable they are!!!!!) are on "Mike A. Harris EL Repository" found on howto page I posted.

Hi all,

Finally, after some settings from some files from CentOS, I made the impossible, and I install wine on CentOS 5.4 64 biti. In this moment I cannot tell you exactly the steps which I follow to install it, but it works good.

Yours advice it was very useful for me.

Thanks to all.

When I installed VMware and I made the same thing on CentOS, I will posted here all steps necessary to install wine, and much more, first steps in CentOS, before begin installation of other software.

Best regards.

hey kindly tell me the steps you took in installing the Wine on centos 5.4

reply as soon as possible.

Regards

You need to know how to enable the repository epel in Centos (which isn't trivial)? I don't have instructions handy but they've been posted several times at LQ.

Or you just need to know how to install wine after enabling epel (which is almost too trivial to explain)?

Just read http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories and follow instructions. Doh.

ok. kindly tell me one thing that is it possible to run the .exe file of a server/client windows application on linux through wine??
Actually i want to run the server/client code on linux. Right now that code is written on C# using visul studio 2010

Regards

I need to know how to install wine after enabling epel.

Some Applications can, and some can not be run on Linux/Wine. It depends on code replicated in Wine.

There is also "winetrics" script that can download and install VB/VS runtime code you will be needing.

To list what you can install run and to install run . You can also install seveeral packages at once with something like: Wine in EPEL is version 1.0.x, but there is also version 1.1.34 from "mharris" repository, and you can also use something like PlayOnLinux to create install scripts for your application.
