Hi jkfloris, I just added the repository via the step here: https://wiki.winehq.org/Debian But the version isn't 7.17, it's 6.5: $ apt policy wine-staging wine-staging: Installed: (none) Candidate: 6.5-1mx19+1 Version table: 6.5-1mx19+1 500 500 http://mx.debian.nz/mx/repo buster/main amd64 Packages ...

P.S. I tried to download wine but I was unsuccessful: $ sudo apt-get --download-only install winehq-devel Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if...

Hi jkfloris, Ah that's a shame. I'd never heard of multiarch, but makes sense I guess; good for me to know, being a debian user. When you say "packages" what do you mean? Like components which go into interpreting the dll's, system calls etc.? (sorry I'm not super well versed in understand...

Thanks for the reply. Do you know, would it be easy/possible to compile Wine 8.0 on Debian buster? Or is that too hard for a novice, or a bad idea?

Question as above. Thanks

Hi, I have two questions. I downloaded the 440mb wine-dirs and I have the following issue: Rob@Rob:~/Desktop/to_install/wine-dirs/wine-source $ sudo ./configure && -4j make [sudo] password for Rob: checking build system type... x86_64-pc-linux-gnu checking host system type... x86_64-pc-linux...

wine's bugzilla is here: https://bugs.winehq.org/ you'd have to make an account, read over the guide, then submit a bug I'm not sure if PoL makes a new prefix by default but it's not supported here anyway (so don't use that if you do go to file a bug). If you haven't yet you can read about winepref...

Hi Spoon0042, What does filing a bug entail? Is that like submitting a debug log on WINE hq? When you try playonLinux, does that make a new wineprefix? I'm assuming so, because I tried that too. e: yes, exactly, I mounted it easily several times in several ways on linux, but I wanted to mount it usi...

uh. well afaik the L just specifies a certain type of string. \\ is just a \ since \ is usually an escape character. beyond that though I'm kind of stumped. I'd hoped the log would hint at something, but I see where the dialog is called and before that it's doing something with notepad.exe which is...

Possibly WINEDEBUG=+file,+msgbox,+dialog,+volume may provide some hint. Hi Spoon0042, Quick question, what is the significance of the L and \\ in wine? It would take me as long to upload a screenshot of winecfg and get a url for it as it would to just type, in Drives it says: "C: .../drive_c D...

Right, put it on the command line with the other WINE* environment variables. (Side note WINEARCH only has an effect when a prefix is first created.) Also see here on getting a log: https://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#How_can_I_get_a_debugging_log_.28a.k.a._terminal_output.29.3F And it may not matter but i...

wine version? you can try with WINEDEBUG=+volume to see if it's checking for and correctly detecting the cd drive. Hi Spoon0042, thanks for the reply. Good questions, simple questions....but hard for me [a novice] to answer. I've been running wine from either the /opt/ or from a folder I downloaded...

Hi, I recently tried to run the touch-typing software which I learnt to type with in the late 90s-early00s. This is because my oldest is at an age where he loves these learning games among other reasons why I want to get it running. The issue I am having is regarding the programme wanting to run fro...

If you did './configure' and then 'make' then yeah it's building / compiling. (For future reference make has a -j option to set the number of "jobs" it runs at once. If you have a quad core cpu for example '-j 4' would speed things up by running the compile on all four cores.) The winehq ...

Ahh, okay, yes that does clear things up a bit, maybe I don't have both -i386 and -amd64 installed for -devel, -staging and -stable, because when I run a winearch=win64 for one of the branches (can't remember which) it gives me a wineserver issue. Case in point, I tried running your example '/opt/w...

You'll probably want to have a look here: Wine FAQ - wineprefixes $HOME/.wine is the default, yes. You can specify a different one with the WINEPREFIX environment variable. The directories under /opt are the different branches of wine and contain the wine implementations of dlls and programs. (Thes...

As for paths, on Unix/Linux/etc in a terminal those are the paths it searches when running a program. You can 'echo $PATH' to see for yourself. Programs in those directories can be run just by typing their name. Programs elsewhere can be run by specifying the full (absolute) path to them, like /opt...

Hi, Another very helpful reply, yes thank you. I'll have a look at the AppDB. "The winehq-$BRANCH package just contains symlinks in /usr/bin/" So if I download winehq-staging, wine-staginghq-amd64 and winehq-staging-i386 it would be the preferable option. However, when you said "If y...

There was a bug in Wine/ Project64. The development builds seems to work fine. If you want to learn more about WINEARCH and WINEPREFIX read the WineHQ Wiki Hi and thanks for the reply, I didn't get a notification so I didn't see this. Great, I was trying to install winehq-devel last night, but I ha...

P.P.S I've had a bit more of a think and I'm also wondering: if I installed WINE and did a straight cut and paste of my winebottles onto another OS, would they work? The reason I'm asking, is if I'm offline and don't have the chance to install the MS DLLs from the internet. Side question, is there a...

You were on the right track, that's what 'wget' is for. It has options for mirroring whole sites if you want, you can look at 'man wget' for more information than you ever wanted. P.S. in addition to my previous post a minute ago. So would the command be: wget --recursive --no-parent https://dl.win...

Hi and thanks very much for the reply; I think we're both on the same wave-length. So I download for example wine-staging, wine-staging-amd64 and wine-staging-i386 and then backup the following directories: /var/cache/apt/archives $HOME/.cache $HOME/.wine and my winebottles and I could even move the...

Okay, the plot thickens. I watched this video on installing/using WINE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lI09QLkqZiE He uses WINEARC and WINEPREFIX through winetricks. So I setup a test wine bottle the same way and installed a number of windows DLLs and components including d3dx9 through the default ...
