Wine menue entry missing after source installation

Heinrich · Post by **Heinrich** » Thu Jun 05, 2008 4:07 pm

Hi,

because wine 1.0 rc3 isn't available via yum (I'm using Fedora 9 btw.) I've installed it via Source-Code. In this case I downloaded it, run ./configure --verbose, followed by make depend, make and make install.
It's installed and seems to run, but there is no entry in Applications.

Have I forgotten to install something for that?

No that's correct. It's up to distro packagers to add Wine entries into menu. Wine creates entries for installed win apps only. Not the Wine itself.

Ok, but now something different. Because wine start's to freeze anytime I run it, I've tried to reinstall it with make uninstall and then ./tools/wineinstall.
But then it says that the installation was unsuccesfull and aborts.
Here the code:

File bug with Redhat. To fix run 'ulimit -s unlimited' and continue compiling Wine.

As I see, is wine 1.0 rc3 now available via yum. Is there some advantage if I install it via Source anyway?

edit: rc4 is out now, should I install it via Source? Sry if my questions are stupid, I use Linux since half a year.

I now installed wine 1.0 rc4 via source using ./tools/wineinstall and ulimit -s unlimited as suggested from vitamin. The installation-routine worked very well but Linux still freezes after a 10 minutes or so.
I think it could be an problem with wine, because if wine isn't started this is not happening. It also could be an problem of Fedora 9 with wine.
I´ve recognized it the first time, when I tried to install Office 2000. Then it happens everytime something from wine is active (like regedit or winecfg).

Thx for every hint.

This is not Wine's problem: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=443552

Why are you asking here? Ask Redhat. There is nothing to fix in Wine.

I have wine menu entries under Fedora 9.

Weird, it's now even freezing under Fedora 8. I`m going to ask in the fedoraforum.
