Made a WOW64 setup with 1.7.1 on Mint 15 (basically Ubuntu raring) but had to comment out the line that says "to delete the tools folder and replace it with a symlink" because the recursive option of rm (-r) was left out and thus could not delete the folder. fonts server tools: #$(RM) $@ &...

I might be remembering this wrong, but I think Portal is typically launched by a Steam launcher program (a program other than Portal itself). If there's an issue with that launching program in Wine and the shortcut you're using to start Portal tries to start Portal through that launcher, whereas sta...

Or maybe "make depend" is a requirement now (didn't use to be).

So that'd be:

./configure [possibly with options]
make depend
make
sudo make install

Wishing you luck,
Jake

Did ./configure throw any warnings? Are you sure you have all the dependencies installed? Out of curiosity, which ./configure options did you use? (It's possible you found a bug - just speaking in general for compiling Linux tarballs, sometimes picking certain configure options will make make brake....

The first thing they'll tell you to do is upgrade. We're on 1.5.6 I see a lot of wininet fixmes. After updating, if you still have them, and it doesn't work, I believe there is a wininet winetricks or some way to install MS wininet. Compiling Wine from source is fairly straight forward once you have...

I don't think I can help much in that department, but I see that you ran Wine as root ("#" means root). That's a no-no and breaks stuff. There is a way to fix what it breaks, however. I wonder if that could be part of the issue (guessing not, I just couldn't let you go running Wine as root...

You may need to update your libimobiledevice. And I'm not just saying that. The older versions of libimobiledevice can't mount iPhones past a certain iOS version. Updating libimobiledevice fixes that. This is a known thing. I saw a howto for updating libimobiledevice somewhere. If I find it again, I...

Mmm. Looks like the iTunes-WINE situation is pretty bleak. Let me throw in a few things that might help. First, I need to know what your needs with iTunes are. Are you using it purely for an imobile device, such an iPhone, iPod, etc? Or are you using it purely for purchasing music from the iTunes St...

Remember that simply mounting an iso does not emulate a CD drive. The kernel, which, by definition, is the sum total of all code running on your computer on ring 0 of the processor, which has the highest privileges on a typical day, has the privileges nessicary to look down the pins of the processor...

Here's a couple pointers: If you don't have legal access to the fonts Livezilla demands, nor want to pay for them, you can find similar public-domain fonts and use ttx to "decompile" the font into an XML-like text file. Then you can edit the XML-like file to change the name of the font to ...

Hi. I've been hunting and reporting bugs for Wine lately, and when I went to the Drives tab of winecfg in 1.4 rc 2, it said "Failed to connect to the mount manager, the drive configuration cannot be edited." Then when I launch Hype the Time Quest in Wine 1.4 rc 2, it can't find the CD and ...

As far as I know, in a Windows 64-Bit installation, the 64-Bit libraries are in System32 and the 32-Bit libraries are in WOW64. So it's a bit of a Greenland-Iceland thing. Though it makes sense. Traditionally, the "normal" Windows libraries are found in System32, and when Windows 64-Bit ca...

I wasn't expecting all this feedback. Sorry if I caused any controversy. As far as the whole "thinking Wine IE isn't primarily intended as a web browser," I don't think I explicitly read that anywhere, though maybe I did. But after looking around some in the wiki, a great place to look aro...

I haven't said much about this, but Wine's Internet Explorer has never really worked as web browser. I understand that the main purpose of Wine's Internet Explorer isn't to be a web browser, but to make Windows programs that require MS IE work. That said, one of the Wine 1.4 release criteria is &quo...

My bad. Forgot to set Windows version to NT 4.0. However, I still need to use the native dinput, whereas at one point the Wine dinput was sufficient, if I'm remembering right. And furthermore, Wine isn't consistently running Hype. Sometimes it crashes when it tries to start the game. (After you clic...

There's an old Ubisoft game called "Hype the Time Quest". For many Wine versions, Wine could not get past the Hype installer. It would go up to 117% and fail. Then a version came where if you unchecked the DirectX check, the install would work (or maybe that's all you had to do to begin wi...

Hi David! Running Windows programs from the "Windows side" via Wine is frowned upon and can break things. Sure, ever since NTFS there's the issue with not having full support for that filesystem in Linux or Mac, but there's the big issue of programs not syncing back to Windows's registry b...

With the Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder running in Wine in Linux with Gnome/Metacity, the syncing of the "Always On Top Status" is one-way. Under tools, Keyfinder has an "Always On Top" option. If you put the window into "Always On Top" mode via the keyfinder's option und...

When I go to http://www.winehq.org/download , I don't see any direct download links for pre-compiled packages, only instructions on how to install a program via the package manager of a particular distro. Where is this direct download link? Is it even up-to-date? There are direct download links to t...

Is there a special place for the programs that actually come with Wine (winefile, winecfg, Wine's notepad, Wine IE, etc.) like the AppDB, but just for them? Because I was wondering, say for example, someone found a bug in winefile. Where would the corresponding AppDB[oid] page be for winefile to att...

You can always compile the most recent version of Wine from source. Stock Wine, as I understand it, doesn't have USB support, but there is a USB patch for Wine. You may want to play with that, which would require compiling from source anyway. (I'm taking a wild guess that the phone is connected by U...

Does that distro use yum? What happens if you add the WINE repository and do (as root) "yum install wine"? Or do you not know the repository for Wine for that distro (I sure don't!). You could always compile from source. It's not as hard as it sounds...once you have the dependencies. There...

I'm almost 100% certain your thumb drive has a partition formatted as NTFS. Stock Mac OS X's NTFS driver only has the ability to read NTFS. It cannot write to NTFS. You could install the 3G FUSE NTFS driver for Mac OS, which would give that particular installation of Mac OS X on that particular comp...

Unless you were given the MS Office key, and you want to use MS Office in Linux, I'd use the Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder in Windows to aquire the MS Office key. Then install Office in Wine on the Linux side with that key. Though personally I don't have a problem with the free and Linux-native Libre...

Don't get your hopes up that this will fix it, but you should upgrade your Wine version. We're on 1.3.35 and I think we're getting pretty close to 1.3.36 (new version comes out every two weeks, though we just had Christmas and whatnot, so the dev-team might have gotten a break, and might still be on...
