wine and winetools
Could anyone tell me how to use wine tools to ease the configuration of wine -20040813-i686.tgz. I have slackware 10.0 installed on my system and I would like to try just for the fun of it to port internet explorer from my window 98 through to slackware. I have windows 98 installed on another partition. When I try to run ,./config on the wine files I am getting the messsage no such file or directory. I already successfully unpacked the tarball.I would really appreciate help with this problem..

Is winetools a .tgz? if so, to install it you don't do ./config you do installpkg winetools-whatever.tgz.
Hope this helps :) |

I just got wine working I now have notepad and regedit working in wine but when I do the wine launcher command htis is what I get Warning:
The Wine launcher is unable to find the xmessage program, which it needs to properly notify you of Wine execution status or problems. This launcher script relies heavily on finding this tool, and without it, it will behave very poorly. We strongly recommend that you use your distribution's software methods to locate xmessage, or alternatively use your favourite internet search engine to find out how you are supposed to install xmessage on your system. How could i correct this problem? |

Download WineSetupTk. I've used it and it helps a lot with configuration issues.

The problem accessing C:\\ seems like a permissions problem. What is the dir set to?
|
Make sure you have a 'windows' and a 'windows/system' directory inside of the fake c-drive used by wine.. this is by default ~/.wine/c_drive
|
What would the command be to see what the dir is set to?

Open up ~/.wine/config in a text editor. Near the top you should see something like:
Code:
[Drive C] |
Could I make that path to my real C: drive I have windows mounted on another partitiion and how would I do that?

You could, but I wouldn't recommend it for a primary C: partition if the drive is NTFS -- you can't write to it. Just change "Path" = "/home/someuser/.wine/c_drive" to "Path" = "/mnt/mydrive".

I checked my configuration they are as they supposed to be, when I tr y to use "winelauncher", I get a failure code of 127 what would this mean. I would really appreciate the help? By the way I do not have notepad or regedit working anymore as I had to reformat.

I am also trying to run Wine. I have successfully installed from the RPM...I think. But I have the same problem Paul62 is having. As a superuser I type wine into the terminal then I get the following:
Warning: the specified Windows directory L"c:\\windows" is not accessible. Warning: the specified System directory L"c:\\windows" is not accessible. Warning: could not find DOS drive for current working directory '/home/jon', starting in the Windows directory Wine 20040914 Usage: wine PROGRAM [ARGUMENTS...] Run the specified program wine --help Display this help and exit wine --version Output version information and exit Does the RPM automatically configure WINE or do I have to do that myself? If so, how do I go about doing this? I don't understand the installation instructions, mainly because I have no idea where WINE is installing to and so I can't find the files or anything for it. Does anyone have any clue as to how to help me? Or is it a lost cause? |
