(sorry if the thread is not in the right section)
Hi and welcome to the forums!
Are you installing using YaST > Software Management?
Wine should be in there and install just fine using that…
If you are getting an error there too please also post the exact error so we can help diagnose…
Cheers,
Wj
thanks for kind welcoming
um, i gues i’ve made mistake, in fakt, by installing using yast manager i see that wine is instaled but i can’t see from where to operate whit it
i use gnome if it matters
PS:i’m little newbie so write your answers simpler pls
To start run ‘winecfg’ to generate the first configuration. This creates a hidden folder in your users home directory ( ~/.wine )
If you have a simple Windows application that you want to launch you can run it first by entering ‘wine <path to file>/app.exe’ in a terminal console. If that works you can create a launcher on the desktop that does the same thing.
For GNOME users there is a nice add-on for WINE called wine-doors. I don’t know if this is already added to the repositories of openSUSE 11, with the RC it was not there yet.
The wine-doors gives an easy way of installing many well known applications.
To install with a windows setup file right click it in Nautulis and run it with wine.
If you are running into problems installing or running a windows app try looking through the Wine app database or also have a look through their forums. Wine HQ
Hope that helps a bit…
Enjoy,
Wj
