installing wine-mono with wine 1.9.5

[randmax]

Hi
I'm struggling with wine-mono for some time.
I've put wine-mono-4.6.0.msi in /usr/share/wine/mono/ as wineHQ wiki suggest
yet every time I get "err:mscoree:CLRRuntimeInfo_GetRuntimeHost Wine Mono is not installed"

I`m running 1.9.5 wine on 64bit multilib slackware if it's of any matter
Any help?

The wiki says:

/usr/share/wine/mono, or possibly some substitution for /usr if Wine was installed to a different location.

Where is Wine installed on your system?

[randmax]

it is installed under /usr
like /usr/bin/, /usr/lib/ and so on

Have you tried a clean wineprefix?

[randmax]

Yep, first thing I tried was from clean wineprefix, yet the app i'm trying won't start on bare wine.
The first error i get clearly points to XNA framework, after getting it mono request bumps up.

well, i'm trying to run "Magicka", and mono is not mentioned in appDB (https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager. ... &iId=22627)
thou since it should be installed by wine automatically ..

Have you tried installing whatever version of .NET this game requires? If the answer is yes, and you used winetricks, then that's why wine-mono is not installed: it has to be uninstalled before installing native .NET, and winetricks does that for you.

An easy way to check if it is installed is to run

Code: Select all

wine uninstaller

If wine-mono is installed, it will be on the list.

[randmax]

There is only Wine Gecko (32-bit) on the list.

Is wine-mono a system-wide installation?
If not, i tried both, wineprefix witn .net and without one, with same outcome.

[dimesio]

What does

Code: Select all

wine64 uninstaller

show?

[randmax]

It is empty in there

[dimesio]

If wine-mono is not installed on your system, Wine should download it for you when it creates a new wineprefix. You should get a popup message about that. Do you get one? Post terminal output from creating a new wineprefix.

Are you using a distro package or did you build Wine yourself?

I build wine myself and could mess something up, yet, some apps do work on this build
Here is build script I used http://pastebin.com/mESVnriT
I'll try binary package provided in downloads

Hmmm. That's a very short build script. Very, very short.

Here's a link to a folder of my wine build scripts for Gentoo (that are in the 3rd party Layman repositories for Gentoo). They are pretty readable - despite there being some (external) BASH functions to do the heavy lifting (Gentoo's so called eclass's)...

All you have to do is search for the phrase mono in the ebuild and you'd see that your Slack build script is missing a tonne of steps... Like (for starters) downloading the actual mono .msi installer!

This bit:

Code: Select all

MV="4.5.6"
...
mono? ( https://dl.winehq.org/wine/wine-mono/${MV}/wine-mono-${MV}.msi )

Means download the Wine mono .msi installer, version 4.5.6, to a cache folder (if mono support is enabled).

This bit:

Code: Select all

$(use_enable mono mscoree)

means specify the --enable-mscoree configure flag (if mono support is enabled).

This bit:

Code: Select all

	if use mono ; then
		insinto /usr/share/wine/mono
		doins "${DISTDIR}"/wine-mono-${MV}.msi
	fi

If mono support is enabled:

1. Put all (non-specific) files into the directory /usr/share/wine/mono
2. Install the previously downloaded mono installer .msi file version "${MV}"=4.5.6 into this directory.

So your mono problem is easily fixed... But I suspect that you'll run into some other issues with that Slack build script though!!

The current wine-mono version is 4.6.0, and the original post that it was in /usr/share/wine/mono.

One thing did just occur to me: in building 1.9.5 in a WoW64 setup, as your script does, you would have run into https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40253, and the 32 bit side of the build would have failed. That's now fixed in git, so try with that.

Thanks!! I'll fix that this afternoon...
