Wine install on Eee PC 4G/Linux

Post by cordebra »

I tried to install Wine, but I get this message in console.

/home/user> cd wine-1.0
/home/user/wine-1.0> .tools/wineinstall
Wine Installer v1.0

Running configure...

checking build system type ... i686-pc-linux-gnuoldld
checking host system type ... i686-pc-linux-gnuoldld
checking whether make sets $(MAKE) ... no
checking for gcc ... no
checking for cc ... no
checking for cl.exe ... no
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
See `config.log` for more details.

Configure failed, aborting install.


Please can somebody explain me what went wrong ?
Do I need to install an `acceptable C compiler` ?
I do not understand the `config.log`.
Thanks in advance.
greetings,
cordebra :(

You need gcc to compile wine. You'd be better off installed a
precompiled package.

You don't have compiler (and probably other development packages required) to build Wine.
To fix follow instructions here: http://wiki.winehq.org/Recommended_Packages

Please, what packages do I need ?
I have Xandros on my Eee PC 2g/Linux.
I have tried the instructions on:
http://wiki.eeeuser.com/howto:wine , but that was a disaster :(
I could not hardly use my computer anymore and I had to delete all the Debian software and install the old one.
In advance thanks.
greetings,
cordebra

clicky

would advise you first do:

sudo dpkg --purge wine

to remove all wine entries/installations/dependencies

Hi clicky,

Thanks, I tried your advise, but it tells me that wine is not installed. I cannot remove wine entries :?

lolz, the clicky is a link to another topic
here are the instructions anyways

if: sudo dpkg --purge wine says wine is not installed just follow these instructions. it might be wise to print them out too...

the following works for the 701 and also for the 901!

to install wine 1.0

open a terminal (alt+ctrl+t) and type:
sudo kwrite /etc/apt/preferences [press enter]
copy and paste this to the file:
Package: *
Pin: origin updates.xepc.org
Pin-Priority: 935

Save and exit kWrite

in a terminal (alt+ctrl+t) type:
sudo kwrite /etc/apt/sources.list [press enter]
copy and paste this line to sources.list:
deb http://updates.xepc.org/ p701 main

Save and exit kWrite.
Staying in terminal type:
sudo apt-get update [press enter]
Staying in terminal type:
apt-cache policy wine [press enter]

if the return is Candidate: 1.0.0-1+eeepc2
from xepc then all is good!
Staying in terminal type:
sudo apt-get install wine [press enter]

when installed, from terminal type:
winecfg
opens settings for wine
