I was trying to compile winex3.3 from cvs:
./configure --with-x --disable-trace --enable-opengl --disable-debug
make depend && make

with the following result:

When I tried to install winex3.1 the same error occured
thanx for help, garfield81

I've seen this error on another forum (Bioware's NWN Linux forum) Im reluctant to link directly to that forum, as some forum moderators frown on such practises. In any case, you need a patch to fix this.

You can find the patch here.

http://home.woh.rr.com/nwmovies/oaidl_p.c.patch

HTH

Mad.

can you tell me how i install winex with this patch,
Or just send me alink with the thread?

Thanx, garfield

Sent you the link.


to apply the patch, save that link as oaidl_p.c.patch in the same directory as the oaidl_p.c file

open a terminal, cd to the directory containing oaidl_p.c

and type

then re-run make.

HTH

Mad.

Thanks for help,
I could solve this problem by apllying to that patch,
but now I get after make depend && make:

I googled a little bit for that. All I found were people who could solve this prob by just repeating their steps, but that didnt work for me.

Thanks

From what google tells me this is caused by winex 3.1 trying to use an old alsa API. Since you're running gentoo I suspect you have the newer alsa API

Try editing /mnt/data/sys/cvs/winex/winex3.1/winex/dlls/winmm/winealsa/alsa.h and modify as follows

Before


After


then re-run make

Mad.

Thanx for your help, i solved the compilation problems this way.
But after testing my winex installation this happens:
wine --winver win98 gta3.exe
err:file:GetOverlappedResult lpOverlapped->hEvent was null
err:module:BUILTIN_LoadModule loaded .so but dll joystick.drv still not found
err:module:BUILTIN_LoadModule loaded .so but dll joystick.drv still not found
fixme:dialog:MSGBOX_OnInit task modal msgbox ! Not modal yet.
tid 7500 received signal 15. Raising signal 3
Quit

I got no idea no idea whats this all about

Hi, I read above and don't understand. I contacted (whatever company makes cedega/winex, can't remember the name right now) asking for a demo and they told me to compile the source code to see if i like it. Where do I get this code from?

I dont have gta3 but maybe this link will help
