Wine
 

Hey guys,

Im finally at the point where i wanted to get to. Installing wine. But i dont know how. Can anybody give me any assistance what so ever i would greatly appreciate it. Remember im a pure noob. I am running Slackware 10.0 on my x86.

Visit winehq.net and download the newest .tgz file. Run 'installpkg wine.....' to install wine.

Visit http://www.von-thadden.de/Joachim/WineTools/ and install winetools.

Run 'wt2' to run winetools and setup wine and install software!

Download the slackware package at: http://www.winehq.com/site/download

Then as root execute:

upgradepkg --install-new <nameofpackage.tgz>

How do i install wine
 

Ok i got wine tools working prob is i dont know how to install wine thats my prob heres what i did so far. Downloaded Wine-20050310-i486-S10.tgz from http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...ckage_id=6301. How do i do this install wine....? Do i use the console?

Yes, use the console.
cd to the directory with your downloaded package.
As root, run
upgradepkg --install-new <nameofpackage.tgz>

Error
 

Thanks tried it out and it worked sort of....

Here is wat i did!

bash-2.05b# upgradepkg --install-new Wine-20050310-i486-S10.tgz

+==============================================================================
| Installing new package ./Wine-20050310-i486-S10.tgz
+==============================================================================

Cannot install ./Wine-20050310-i486-S10.tgz: package does not end in .tgz

bash-2.05b#

how do i solve this ast you can notice the package is .tgz

You could try this:
again, cd to the directory containing your package.
Run as root:

pkgtool

And from this menu choose 'Current', and install your package this way.

CD?
 

I apologize what do you mean by cd?

When you're in the console, you execute 'ls' to get a view of the directory you're currently in.
Type 'cd name' to change to another directory.
Another useful command is 'man'. Execute 'man cd' to learn more about cd, etc.
