Wineexperiments187 · Post by **Wineexperiments187** » Thu Aug 18, 2011 10:23 am

My current wine Version is 1.3.15
and the Latest release is 1.3.26 So I am pretty Far behind.

However I have No Clue as to HOW im going to Update wine...
I somehow Have the wine Tar file in my Downloads And have extracted it... But I don't know Where to go from there.

I could be doing all of this stuff wrong,I have no clue.

Help?

I know that the information is out there somewhere, but when you file
a new topic, please include what OS and version you are using.

The FAQ has a subject on how to build Wine from source:

http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-7ed3c31 ... 53dc41817b

Please read through it.

How did you install Wine in the first place?

I KNEW I forgot something...

my current OS is a linux 9.10 karmic

Lets see...How did I install wine in the First place?
I honestly Don't Remember.
What I DO remember Is I went to the links here on the Web site, And downloaded a Ubuntu Package, The 1.3 package to be exact.
And I think it automatically Installed...

jjmckenzie, From your link I have determined that I have the latest recommended package... I have the latest Wine Tarball Package in my downloaded files And I have Extracted it.(Extract means Unpack right?)

The only Problem I have is the "Configure and Make" part
I have tried Putting the Command ./configure in the Terminal And it did nothing... I have found a Text file called configure in package and Ran it through the Terminal, ALSO did nothing... So the only Reason none of this work is Because, Im not doing it Right Obviously...

something like that dimesio I have already been here seven times.

However that package here says "The 1.3 package is already installed"
Is it saying its the the link is the 1.3.15 pack or Am I suppose to uninstall my current wine, And THEN Download from the link here?

Btw, What do I do with the Tar file that says 1.3.26?
Thats my Main Problem Right now...

If you installed the package then your package manage will update it automatically as the PPA is updated.

You shouldn't need to do anything with a downloaded .tar file.

Just run a sudo apt-get update and then a sudo apt-get upgrade wine1.3 from terminal. (

This assumes you installed through the PPA (http://www.winehq.org/download/ubuntu) in the first place.

And it isn't unique to wine.

If you installed the ppa then the latest version is 1.3.15 as you can see here https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-wine/+arc ... ter=karmic

The tarball is for building Wine from source, which it looks like you will have to do, since packages are apparently no longer being built for your version of Ubuntu. You will have to uninstall the Wine package you installed with your package manager before installing the version you build. Follow these instructions: http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-7ed3c31 ... 53dc41817b

OK A few questions. One. The Configure part, I have Attempted to Get the build Dependencies Through the Command line for 1.3.26, HOWEVER
it says It can not Find the source package for 1.3.26

this is what I type in:sudo apt-get build-dep wine 1.3.26
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to find a source package for 1.3.26

Now im pretty sure the reason its doing this is because I haven't Unpacked the Wine source code correctly.

What would Be the correct command line for me to Unpack the Tar file?
Because What ever I try to Do According to the Guide here:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Compi ... #configure

its not working. So help?

I don't use Ubuntu, so I'm not really sure how "the Ubuntu way" works, but the instructions on http://wiki.winehq.org/WineOn64bit say the command is

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get build-dep wine1.3

so I would try entering that.

Now im pretty sure the reason its doing this is because I haven't Unpacked the Wine source code correctly.

Or it's because you've been entering the above command incorrectly.

I usually just right-click on the file in my file manager and select "Extract here, autodetect subfolder." That's in KDE, but I imagine Gnome can do something similar.

Now the code you stated. "sudo apt-get build-dep wine1.3"

Still does the Same thing when I tried sudo apt-get build-dep wine 1.3.26
It says It can't find the source file.

And the unpacking Process....
You said You Extracted by Right clicking the Folder and Pressing "Extract Here"

I did that already, However I didn't extract it From the file manager, I went to the tar file's location Where I then Extracted it from there.

Do I have to Try extracting from the File manager? if so... Where Do I find the file manager?

If you right-clicked a folder, you were in your file manager. That's not something you can do from the command line.

I suspect the reason you can't install the build-dep package is the same reason you can't simply install a current Wine package: your version of Ubuntu is old, and the distro package maintainer is no longer building packages for it. So you will just have to get the dependencies individually. Navigate to the extracted directory, run ./configure, and install whatever it complains is missing, Keep doing that until it stops complaining.

Or, you could just upgrade your distro to a version that is still in support. There is a point at which a release becomes so old that hanging on to it becomes more trouble than upgrading.
