Get wine 1.7.9 on ubuntu 15.04

[stiggia]

Hi i've installed wine1.7 on my ubuntu15.04 following the guidehttps://www.winehq.org/download/ubuntu

I'm looking for wine 1.7.9 but i get 1.7.4
Can someone explain my why?

What you got was 1.7.44, not 1.7.4. There are no 1.7.9 packages for 15.04 because 15.04 did not exist when 1.7.9 was current.

So there is no way to get it?

One of the best ways to get any Wine version is to download Wine git repository. To choose version you need run:

Code: Select all

git reset wine-1.7.9
git checkout -f

And compile it as usually. Then you can either run Wine without installing or create .deb package with checkinstall. Also, with Wine git repository you can do regression testing.

Alternatively, you can try googling for 1.7.9 debs for older version of your OS and try to install them manually with "sudo dpkg -i".

Now i realise it was a silly question.
Thank you for answering.
