Wine WOW64 compile - newbie here

[Bude]

So i recently came to linux mint and now want to use wine mostly for wc3. But it seems like i have to compile a more recent version (1.3.4) to play online. Since i never compiled anything i would appreciate if anyone can guide me through :)

First type via command-line:

sudo apt-get build-dep wine

This will install all the dependencies you'll need to build wine.

Then get the latest wine 1.3.XX tarball from winehq.org, untar it somewhere, enter the folder via terminal and type:

./tools/wineinstall

Follow instructions

wineinstall is a tool that runs the commands you need for you. If you wish to have a little bit more of control, just type thus in the wine folder:

Code: Select all

./configure

This will check if your system has what it takes to build wine. At the end it may let you know that there are some extra pieces of software you'll want to install, like openal. If you want to install them, install the -dev versions of the packages via synaptic. Then rerun

Code: Select all

./configure

If everything went well start to compile wine by typing

Code: Select all

make

wait until it finishes. When it's done type:

Code: Select all

sudo make install

to install the compiled binaries in your system. If later you'll want to build a new wine version, or install the version from the repos, type in the wine folder:

Code: Select all

sudo make uninstall

That's pretty much all there is to do.

This also creates a logging file config.log and you can use this to look
for missing packages.

Then rerun
Code:
./configure

You can skip this if you want to test the built wine version without
overwriting what you already have. The main wine executable should be
in the bin directory where you built wine. Do the following after you
run make:

Code: Select all

cd bin
./wine --version

This should run without any errors.
