Wine un-install, re-install
Hullow,
i'm quite new :newbie: to Linux and I wanted to install Wine HQ. Well, I downloaded an rpm-package. rpmDrake took care of it and installed it.... Turns out that there's something wrong with it, I can't configure it (winecfg), the whole thing freezes... i wanted to know how to uninstall Wine HQ cause when I got to Emulators > Wine > Uninstaller i get this error: Uninstall registry key not available (yet) nothing to do! I don't know if this has anything to do with the uninstallation of WineHq or that he means the uninstallation of some windows-app running through Wine HQ. :confused: Can anybody tell me how to uninstall WINE HQ, and then post the steps to install it through a .tar.gz file... I can extract a .tar.gz but what's next.... :study: Help! Thanks |
if u installed wine thru rpm u can uninstall it by doing
rpm -e <packagename> if u dont know the package name do this rpm -qa|grep -i wine this will give u the package name. everything should be done in the terminal i dont know abt installation from tar.gz file. i am still waiting for help on it |

thanks for ur reply
./configure && make depend && make && su -c "make install" do we need to type the exact line in command prompt or each as an individual command. thanks guessme |
Thanks about the rpm thing.
the ./configure &&..... i'm not sure but I think you need to run them separetly.... although those && suggest you can do it together.... Dunno about it.... I think I might install the Wine version which is on disc4 of mandrake.... it's a bit odler version but since it is bundled with it I expect it to work.... |
Opps, sorry missed this question.
The idea behind: command1 && command2 &&... is they are run if the previous command was successful, ';' (a semicolon) means run the next command irregardless of whether the previous one was successful or not. So you can just copy and paste that line or type it literally :) |
Yeah, it'll work either way.
By the way, what happened to tools/wineinstall? IMO, that was a lot easier. |
I think it's still there but since the virtual drive no longer needs to be created on install it's not worth it :)
Still, if you want easy, don't compile from souce :), just grab a package for your distro - or just copy and paste the command in :D |
Well I dont see how I can grab a package for slack based systems if thiers a way though that I dont have to compile (Ive been able to compile all but wine so go figure) and setup Id love to know!
