Bluestacks on Linux Fedora

[SuvP]

I am trying to use Bluestacks for running Android application on my Linux Fedora using Wine.

I tried

Code: Select all

wine BlueStacks-SplitInstaller_native.exe

from terminal. It gave me

Code: Select all

Install Mono for Windows to run .NET 2.0 ...

error, so i downloaded Mono For Windows from [here](http://www.go-mono.com/mono-downloads/download.html).

I installed the complete package [checked all boxes including GTK etc] it using

Code: Select all

wine mono-2.10.9-gtksharp-2.12.11-win32-0.exe

After the installation is done. After a while it just seemed to stop executing commands. However it did not return the prompt on terminal even after waiting for a long time,so i did Ctrl-C to get back the prompt. This showed some fixeme for the console.

Following this by,

Code: Select all

wine BlueStacks-SplitInstaller_native.exe

The bluestacks installer comes up and immediately gives the error dialog stating

Code: Select all

    Unhandled exception: page fault on read access to 0x7de321a8 in 32-bit code (0x100035cf).

and lot other details.

The installer meanwhile continues upto 98% installation and hangs.

What step did i do wrong?

Note:If there is any other technique to get Whatsapp usable on Fedora, do let me know.

You didn't mention what Wine version you're using. If it's not the latest development release, upgrade, and install wine-mono, which should be available as a package from your distro. If it isn't, follow the instructions on the Mono wiki page to install it manually. If it still doesn't work, try winetricks dotnet20.

I am using wine 1.5.3 and it seems to have mono installed. Add/Remove Wine programs shows mono 2.10 installed

[SuvP]

I uninstalled the existing Mono in Wine and installed it using winetricks dotnet20

Then i used "wine BlueStacks-SplitInstaller_native.exe" to install Bluestacks. It gave an error(I assume its got something to do with rundll32) and

The current development release is 1.5.27.

The Mono for Windows that you had installed was not wine-mono, but since you've already moved on to .NET, it doesn't matter.

err:winediag:SECUR32_initNTLMSP ntlm_auth was not found or is outdated. Make sure that ntlm_auth >= 3.0.25 is in your path. Usually, you can find it in the winbind package of your distribution.

You need to fix that. If you're not sure what package to install, ask your distro.
