Wine on Solaris

Dox Systems - Brian · 04-19-2007, 02:53 PM

Anyone have any luck with it?

I'm using the "Mature" revision (supposedly a known good compilation) of the Solaris x86 package and it installs fine, but just plain doesn't work. Throws errors that sound like they have something to do with the display. Not even able to run winecfg!

This is on an Ultra20M2 running 11/06.

I havent tried wine on Solaris but I used it on FreeBSD, wine is that kind of thing that works very good on Linux and not so good on others OSes, I also have had limited wine functionality on FreeBSD.

When i want to start wine on Sun Solaris 10 i get the error:

# /opt/cfw/wine/bin/wine
wine: creating configuration directory '//.wine'...
/opt/cfw/wine/bin/wineprefixcreate: wine: not found
wine: wineprefixcreate failed while creating '//.wine'.
#

What did i do wrong or what should i do?

(i work under ROOT for installations & Configurations)

I don't think wine works that well on Solaris. I have no recent experience with it though.

From the error message, it seems you may be able to go further by adding /opt/cfw/wine/bin to your PATH.

I'm using http://www.blastwave.org/wine, which leads me to believe that it *should* work, but each version fails with a different errors for me :-( "win4sol" is supposed to be a good product too I hear (from the sunray users list), but I haven't been able to get ahold of anyone there to see about a demo version :-(

[[TRYING TO USE THE BLASTWAVE-WINE]]

error keeps coming after added the PATH:

Code:

# PATH=$PATH:/opt/cfw/wine/bin /opt/cfw/wine/bin/winecfg
wine: creating configuration directory '/export/home/dezeeuw/.wine'...
fixme:cdrom:CDROM_GetInterfaceInfo not implemented for nonlinux
wine: could not load /export/home/dezeeuw/.wine-jB6qOP/dosdevices/c:/windows/rundll32.exe as L"C:\\windows\\rundll32.exe": ld.so.1: wine: fatal: rundll32.exe: open failed: No such file or directory

You should go the CBE way explained here: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...19&postcount=6

it works thanks to CBE!!

Ugh. Good write-up (CBE), but I *hate* how the forum mangles the http lines... Makes it very annoying when I'm reading on one computer and typing into another.

I'm getting "Package SUNWi2cs is required for building JDS" on Step 4, during CBE install. Anyone else see that? If I tell it to go ahead, it appears to be wanting me to insert a disc of some kind... Decided to check here before I went any further

kebabbert · 08-30-2007, 06:53 AM

I dont build JDS. Skip it.

Dox Systems - Brian · 08-30-2007, 11:47 AM

OK, skipping that.

Now I get (at the end of ./cbe-install):

ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to .libs/svn
make: *** [subversion/clients/cmdline/svn] Error 1
Bad exit status from /var/tmp/pkgbuild-cbe/pkgbuild-tmp-2.29660 (%build)
Thu Aug 30 12:08:38 EDT 2007: *** command output ends ***
Thu Aug 30 12:08:38 EDT 2007: CBE setup FAILED

Not sure exactly what's failing. Everything up to that point in the log looks good. Ideas?
