Trouble installing wine

burntresistor · Post by **burntresistor** » Sun Aug 30, 2009 4:17 pm

I can't download the Scott Richie key for wine because the link is down. I tried doing it through command line and I got the error : gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.

Hi, while it is down you can try to

a) Compile your own Wine
b) Tell me your architecture, I might have an almost-up-to-date package here (.27 IIRC) and email it to you.

Cheers,

That's only to compile 64-bit wine, not 32-bit wine on 64-bit.

when i just tried to compile it as 32bit on 64bit i received this error configure: error: Cannot build a 32-bit program, you need to install 32-bit development libraries.

Do as it says and install the 32-bit development libraries

Find Wine's dependencies and install the appropriate packages.

Probably:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get build-dep wine

should do it.

After it ran the make command I checked the wine and the version was still the stable version which i already had installed it didn't upgrade to 1.2.28. do I need to remove the stable version and reinstalled the version I want

Maybe yo need to run as root/super-user

Code: Select all

# make install

So the version you've actually built will be installed (for main executable:/usr/local/bin and for your profile ~/.wine. This are the most common paths to it) Give it a try thought.

I installed wine but cannot find it in my apps. This is my 3rd or 4th installation of wine in my Ubuntu 9.04 and no problems in the past. Now when I install I cannot go to my applications menu and system tools where it should be but its not? Anyone help me here?

Plain Wine doesn't add itself to the menu. When you install an app in Wine, that should be added to your menu.

That did it here. Thanks.

Oh, sorry to get up such old topics. I did a search for "amd64 AND compile" and end up here.
