wine-mono for new Slackware 14.2 install?

globetrotterdk · 05-19-2018, 01:49 PM

I have just installed wine and wine-asio using SlackBuilds on a new Slackware 14.2 install, but there doesn't appear to be a wine-mono SlackBuild. What do people do if they need to install a mono package for wine? Other distributions have some sort of wine-mono package. It is true there is a Mono SlackBuild, but I think that that is different than a wine specific mono SlackBuild, isn't it?

Wine 1.5.6 and later will install Wine-Mono automatically as needed.

Debian based distros have their own wine-mono package, so I cancelled the prompt to install wine-mono from Wine, and looked around for an alternative. I had assumed (wrongly) that the SlackBuild would have drawn the wine-mono package in, when it was built, as I hadn't found an alternative. Now I no longer get a prompt. How do I get Wine to prompt me to install wine-mono again?

My Wine package (wine-2.21 of last November, I don't keep the package on the bleeding edge) has the Mono installer built into the package: https://bear.alienbase.nl/mirrors/pe...ckbuilds/wine/

Removing ~/.wine is one way.
