Using the devel branch

[Unifying Theory]

Can someone please explain exactly how I run a program with the development branch?

I'm on Linux Mint 19.1 64-bit

• I uninstalled the stable branch of wine.
• I installed the repo for FAudio.
• I installed wine-devel (5.0~rc6~bionic) but that package apparently doesn't include any commands that I could find.
• Then installed wine-development (3.6-1).
• Then it tells me "it looks like wine32-development is missing, you should install it.", so I install wine32-development:i386 (3.6-1).

However I'm still getting errors about Qt5, which I read were supposed to be fixed in this version.

Code: Select all

$ wine --version 
wine-3.6 (Ubuntu 3.6-1)

Help is appreciated.

Wine 3.6 is two years old and no longer supported. Uninstall it and reinstall 5.0-rc6 (or wait for 5.0, which should be out this week).

I installed wine-devel (5.0~rc6~bionic) but that package apparently doesn't include any commands that I could find.

I install wine-devel but that doesn't provide the wine command.

Code: Select all

Setting up wine-devel-i386:i386 (5.0~rc6~bionic) ...
Setting up wine-devel (5.0~rc6~bionic) ...
Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.27-3ubuntu1) ...

$ wine --version 

Command 'wine' not found, but can be installed with:

sudo apt install wine-development
sudo apt install wine-stable

If you want to use the wine command, you must install the winehq-devel package.

Code: Select all

sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-devel

Otherwise you will have to start Wine with:

Code: Select all

/opt/wine-devel/bin/wine --version

I install wine-devel but that doesn't provide the wine command.

There is a guide for how to install Wine for most common Linux Distributions (and macOS) on the main WineHQ Downloads page.
It's generally best to read the documentation for a project... Then ask your questions... Rather than the other way round!

Installing Wine has to be somewhat more complex than other packages for Ubuntu, as Wine has both 32-bit packages (+ 32-bit package dependencies) and 64-bit packages (+ 64-bit package dependencies).

Sometimes I just type commands instead of copy/paste, and in this case I overlooked the "hq" in the package name. Sorry about that.
