"Wine despair" or "Am i a noob or just plain
hi,
I want to share my odysse from yesterday until now with someone who might help me.
(my real problem starts after the mass effect 3 part)
So yesterday I bought MassEffect 3 after reading the topic on it
http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p ... &iId=25500
and
http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p ... &iId=25350
hmm doesnt sound to bad, lets give it a shot...
Download and install Origin -> check
Download and install ME3 -> doesn't complete installation -> anticipated
killing process as shown in post -> doesnt work -> searching
comment from xanders on origin post -> tried not working
hmm i work with Wine 1.3.28 -> update (Cut and paste old .wine folder to secure it)
WineHq page for updating wine with Ubuntu (German) -> Installation under Gnome and for Wine 1.2, Beta 1.3 .... out of date not helping
Installing Wine 1.4 from code with compiling -> install flex, bison, xorg-dev -> check installation complete
start winecfg -> download gecko -> check
Lets do this thing better -> install prefixes -> wineprefix command not found -> wtf?
Search internet -> no helpful results (search duration: 2-3 hours)
screw that i go back to 1.3.28 -> deinstall wine -> SoftwareCenter -> no wine installed -> wtf?
search internet deinstall wine -> found "# make uninstall" in installation folder -> check but terminal shows no signs of activity -> winecfg "Hi I am still here" -> WTF!?
Search internet how to remove Wine -> no helpful results found -> $%&$/ (Cursing censored)
WineHq Forum -> vent anger and despair -> hoping for help... pending
so I hope somebody reads and understands my problem and is able to help me.

Sure, If you compiling new wine, it couldn't be found in Software Center.Durin01 wrote: Lets do this thing better -> install prefixes -> wineprefix command not found -> wtf?

What the command did you use for wineprefix creation?
(btw, here is the program named Q4Wine for easy management with Wine prefixes and its settings).
Wine 1.4 is available now in .deb packages from here: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-wine/+arc ... /+packages
thanks for the answer,
I used the command i found on this page:
http://www.devshed.com/c/a/Administrati ... ze-Gaming/
"codex-m@codex-m-desktop:~$ mkdir grandtheftauto
Step 4. Now that the grandtheftauto folder has been created, let's create the Wine system files and directories for this specific game using Wineprefixcreate:
codex-m@codex-m-desktop:~$ WINEPREFIX="/home/codex-m/grandtheftauto" wineprefixcreate"
and like described here
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1097547
(wineprefixcreate --prefix ~/.Winetwo)
and the result was:
wineprefixcreate: Befehl nicht gefunden. (Command not found in german)
when I install the .deb packages now will the two installation somehow disturb each other?
i would delete the 1.4 right now, but as I said I have no idea how...

Those instructions must be pretty old; the wineprefixcreate command was deprecated years ago. You also should not try to turn an existing directory into a wineprefix.Durin01 wrote: codex-m@codex-m-desktop:~$ WINEPREFIX="/home/codex-m/grandtheftauto" wineprefixcreate"

If a wineprefix does not yet exist, Wine will automatically create it the first time you run Wine with that wineprefix specified, e.g.,
Code: Select all
WINEPREFIX=$HOME/newprefix winecfg
@Ales_G: wine-1.4 but thats to be expected, I installed it after all^^
no not exactly that command I just copy pasted it from the Website so you see it.
@dimesio: sweet that works. Prefix created I'm going to try to install ME3 now.
But just out of curiosity how DO I deinstall a compiled Wine version? As I mentioned # make uninstall doesn't seem to work. Or do I have to chose a different directory as the one I installed it from?
P.S.: It is very sad that all I get when I search the WineWiki for "Prefix" is a whole lot of nothing. How am I supposed to know how the commands are otherwise?
