It worked!! It all works! Thanks for your help everyone, it was much appreciated. Call of Duty 4 now runs a charm :) It's amazing how helpful the community has been to a newcomer in confusion. I've compiled what I did below, so if anyone follows and wants to patch, compile, and install wine 1.0rc1 o...

OK, one step further...! I've tried this with 0.9.56 and have exactly the same trouble as with 1.0, so it's me that's making the mistakes! "./configure" and "make depend && make" work no problem, however, on running sudo checkinstall I get the following: Installing with m...

Well, I'm now on 32bit, but not got time to mess about with wine at the moment. The release version is installed through the synaptic package manager - that'll have to do for now. I'll keep windoze installed for gaming.

Ah, you got a second post in while I was writing!! ;-) On Fri, May 16, 2008 at 9:40 AM You're running 64 bit Ubuntu. That makes things harder to build. If WUBI is doing this to people by default, it should be shot. - Dan Well, consider wubi shot then, I'm off back to Vista (which I actually really l...

well, that installed a lot of stuff, and I've not a clue what it was! Am I too trusting? but regardless, it didn't help

thanks Zoltan, your patch applied flawlessly. However, I can't run ./configure successfully now... I get: sudo ./configure checking build system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu checking host system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking for gcc... gcc -m...

OK, I'll start again with a fresh wine installation then. I may use a previous version of wine for which the patch works, see if that helps with CoD4. I'll post back with the results later.

The Wine code since that patch was rearranged a bit.
I tried to refresh the patch for 1.0-rc1, semantically it should be the
same.

Where can I get this refreshed patch from?

ah I see! That helps a lot! :oops: I'm not familiar enough with C, or the manner in which the patch works to delve into that just yet. Wine & WoW work fine without the patch, however CoD4 returns an error about my graphics card not being able to handle enough textures - I'm running an 8800gtx wi...

Hey guys, I'm a new Ubuntu convert (installed through Wubi, and am blown away!) I'd love to get wine working so I play games etc, but I've got a lot of learning to do when it comes to installing and getting things working. So, I want to use the 1.0-rc1 version of wine, but CoD4 requires the 3dmark.d...
