[SOLVED] Aliens Wine-7.3

zdolar · 08-09-2022, 08:10 AM

I Installed Aliens Wine-7.3 on Slackware64-15 with multilib.
At Wine-config it installed Mono.
After unzip a Window$ app to a folder "..Program Files/xx" and try to run it, it complains Mono is not installed.
I verified Mono is installed with wine-uninstaller showing Mono-7.1.1.
I removed it, downloaded Mono-7.3 from Wine repository and installed it with Wine-uninstaller.
Stil Wine complains Mono is not installed, when I try to run Window$ app.
Notice: starting Wine preinstalled Windows clock (32bit and 64bit) run without complaining.

I had this problem also. Alien Bob's wine slackbuild is following winehq spec on where to install the mono package, however this doesn't seem to be correct and wine can't find the mono library when launched so it attempts to download it. Changing the following lines in the wine.SlackBuild should fix the problem. It did for me.

change...

Code:

# Add the wine-mono MSI installer to the Wine package:
if [ "$MONO" != "NO" ]; then
  mkdir -p $PKG/usr/share/wine/mono/wine-mono-${MONO}
  install -m0644 ${MONOSRC} $PKG/usr/share/wine/mono/wine-mono-${MONO}/
fi

to...

Code:

# Add the wine-mono MSI installer to the Wine package:
if [ "$MONO" != "NO" ]; then
  mkdir -p $PKG/usr/share/wine/mono/
  install -m0644 ${MONOSRC} $PKG/usr/share/wine/mono/
fi

Thank you Daedra.

I corrected slackbuild script and at the same time compiled Wine-7.14.

All work as expected.
