Wine?

English Applications
#1

I recently installed like every single package of wine on the “install programs” thingamabob. The only thing is that in my applications, it doesn’t show wine. I went to the main site to download it and this is what I get

Index of /repositories/Emulators:/Wine/openSUSE_11.2

How do I install Wine from this site?:\

#2

I do not know what a thingambob is. Perhaps you could use some superior terminology?

But my guess is you did this all wrong, and simply added a bunch of totally useless bloat. … sorry for the hard speculation … but seriously, blindly installing is NOT the linux way and it will eventually land you in a massive load of trouble.

IMHO it would REALLY help you to read some rather basic concepts: Concepts - openSUSE

and also read up on zypper use: SDB : Zypper usage - openSUSE

in fact read the guidance given in our New Users Section !! : NEW Users - Suse-11.2 Pre-installation – PLEASE READ - openSUSE Forums and NEW Users - openSuse Pre-install (general) – PLEASE READ - openSUSE Forums

… but getting back to your question, copy and paste these 3 commands from a terminal with root permissions (don’t forget the root permissions):

zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Emulators:/Wine/openSUSE_11.2/ wine

zypper install wine

zypper rr wine

Then if you have an application autostitch.exe (for example) under /home/yourusername, you can run it with:

wine autostitch.exe
#3

I put the first command in and Its said “nothing to do” since wine is already installed?

Ohhh no, what have i done :’(

#4

You have probably installed the SuSE-GmbH packaged version of wine, as opposed to the Build Service packaged version of wine.

#5

Should I remove it then follow those commands again??

#6

No need, at least not yet.

Since you have wine installed, why not take it for a spin ?

#7

I think the issue here is more on how to use it …

either click on a .exe file in a file browser (which should start Wine)
or on the commandline go to the directory with the .exe file in it, and type

wine setup.exe (or whatever the .exe is called)

desktop and menu entries will be placed on the desktop and in the menu during installation. (at least for KDE).

Ciao, Marcus

The weird thing is I tried setting up the game “Zork” which is basically ancient. I opend up “open with other application” and went to the command line for the “setup.exe”. At the command line, I typed in wine setup.exe. After doing that, my screen blinked a couple of times and that was it. I tried it again and it did the same thing? :stuck_out_tongue:

Same thing happened after I tried a different game. (Guild Wars)

#9

Did you check on the wine site to see if these games work on wine?

Did you run winecfg fist to set up wine? Did you follow any of the instructions?

#10

yes, these games are fully compatible with wine and the setup for wine is perfect?

#11

Have you tried 1st to see if you can get wine working with a very simple application before trying hardware apps ?

#12

Umm…no i haven’t. But when I try to run the setup from the disk, this is what I get.

I put in:

**wine /media/ZORKNEM_I
**
And the output is this:

wine: cannot find '/media/ZORKNEM_I’

Umm…no i haven’t.[/QUOTE]Then may I suggest you try that (ie start with some application REALLY simple), and gradually work your way up in terms of familiarity in using wine ?

#14

Ok I tried something realllly simple, I downloaded a 2d tetris game for windows. I tried putting in the code “wine Bloxxi-Setup.exe” and this is the output.

wine: could not load L"C:\windows\system32\Bloxxi-Setup.exe": Module not found

I get this for other programs too that I try to run. I think it has something to do with “System 32”?

For some reason theres a smiley face in front of //windows its meant to be "C://windows…

#15

I do not use any of those examples you are quoting, so I can not offer advice wrt them.

Here is a simple example of wine. It (this example) is using an MS-Windows program called autostitch. I put the executeable “autostitch.exe” in the directory /home/oldcpu/panorama-software. All I do to run it is what you see in this video (there is no audio): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwJnjxy21rk)

#16

So…I dont get it, what do i do? :’(

#17

For one thing

/media/ZORKNEM_I

looks to me as if it is a CD name or directory not a file. Is there a setup.exe file in the directory???

Please try % wine winefile % That is a handy internal tool to the wine
package. If that comes up try using it to run the setup programs.

i agree with gogalthorp; /media/ZORKNEM_I is clearly a directory/CD name and NOT a windows .exe file. To run whatever’s in the folder, you would use something like:


wine /media/ZORKNEM_I/"Name of the File.exe"
