I can't install wine 1.7.14 on linux mint(debian version).
Today is my second day since I use Linux, and i don' t understand what I have to do for install the last version.
This code don' t work in correct mode:

Code: Select all

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install wine 1.7

If I execute that my system install only 1.4.1 wine version.

Thanks
PS: sorry for my english.

Wouldn't the Debian edition of Mint use the Debian packages, not the Ubuntu ones?

As a Debian Mint user myself, I can confirm that.
You will install from debian's repositories by default, and installing from the ubuntu repos is not recommended.

Personally, I like to download the source of the latest WINE as they are published on this website, and compile them locally. If you want a version of wine later than than the one in Debian Testing, you have 3 options:

1. Download the .deb files for your architechture here:
http://dev.carbon-project.org/debian/wine-unstable/
and install them with gdebi or dpkg.

2. Enable the unstable (sid) debian repo, install libwine-bin (for version 1.6.2) or libwine-bin-unstable (for version 1.7.14), and (strongly recommended) immediately disable it. Enable it again to update wine, just be careful not to update everything while it's enabled, lest you accidentally update X.org and break your system or something.

3. Get the source and compile it yourself. All it should take are the following commands:

Code: Select all

apt build-dep wine
cd path/to/wine/extracted/source
./configure
make
sudo make install

Just note that build-dep only works if you have source repos, and may miss some important stuff, so watch carefully for the output of the ./configure command. It will report anything that may be missing.

Bearing in mind that will only build Wine with 64-bit Wineprefix support - if Op has a 64-bit install of LMDE. This was of course not specified...

No. To build 64 bit Wine you have to specify --enable-win64 when running ./configure. The commands specified will only build 32 bit Wine, even on a 64 bit system. Whether they will work on 64 bit LMDE without a chroot or a lot of symlinking, I don't know (probably not).

Thanks guys now i have 32 bits version but, next time i want install 64 bits lmde.
I don t understand the instructions pubblicated by Jjenia, sorry can you write me your instructions step by step sorry and thanks.

Whoops... I've gotten too used to Arch & Gentoo build scripts

I'll assume you'll do the second one, then.
1. Open your software sources (They can be reached by opening the update manager and then going edit->software sources, or from somewhere in the cinnamon menu, under administration)
2. Open "additional repositories"
3.

Code: Select all

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free

Is what you want to add
4. There's an "Update the cache" button at the top right. Click it.
5. Open synaptic and look for libwine-bin-unstable and install it.

6. (optional) Open software sources again and untick the debian repo.

[revenmat]

Yes, Jjenia your solutions work but i can olny install 1.6.27 version.
Now here http://dev.carbon-project.org/debian/wine-unstable/ we have last version.
What i must do to install wine using above link?
