Multiple Wine Installer now Available for Ubuntu !!!

[david_kt]

Love your script!

I mentioned it here:

http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?id=49335

I'm getting configure errors when installing Wine 0.9.15 manually and with your script. It's missing some kind of dependency, but I'm not sure what to do to fix this. The .deb install works fine. So there must be someway to get it to work. It's the only version that works well with Fallout 1 and 2 via Wine.

Running Ubuntu 8.0.4 Hardy Heron.

Can you help, please?

Have you removed valgrind and libldap2-dev:

sudo apt-get remove valgrind libldap2-dev

If not yet, try remove these two packages and run again the installer. I tried a few minutes ago, it works for wine 0.9.15.
Edit: It succeed until make, I did not continue with make install. But when I continue, make install failed, now I am investigating.

As very old wine fail to compile properly, I have added an option to install from downloaded deb package to install any version of wine. Be careful when choosing installation directory. f you choose to create new directory, make sure you are in the new directory before pressing ok.

It also save you a lot of time if you choose to install from deb package.

Please see the installer at the first post.

Two questions:

1) This will allow multiple installs even using a .deb?

2) What do you mean by current directory?

Thank you.

Thank you.

First of all, please re-download the installer (Multiple_Wine_311008r2.tar.gz), there is a small mistake when renaming the wine executable.

1) Yes, it will install multiple wine using deb package, it is very easy. Just make sure you choose the correct directory to install, preferebly /home/username/wine-x.x.x
For wine naming, you just need to type x.x.x, or may be you want to name it Fall2 (to become wine-Fall2).

2) Could you specify where did I mentioned "current directory"?

"f you choose to create new directory, make sure you are in the new directory before pressing ok."

Was confused about that statement.

Thank you.

Thank you.

That is when you choose to install from deb package, it will ask you 3 things:

1. To locate downloaded deb package
2. To locate installation directory, make sure it is in your home directory and preferable empty directory. You could "create new directory" when choosing it, make sure you are in the new directory before pressing ok.
3. The name you want to use for this wine.

That is what I meant, in bold.

Tried it a second time and it worked. Typo on my part?

Thank you for updating your script. You may want to consider sending it to the WineHQ people. It's very useful.

Hehehe... WineHQ people will laugh at my script you know, it is so simple. They could do much better script.

By the way, could you use wine 0.9.15 now? I have not tested it, I just making the script for you to use.

You may think it's simple, but saves tons of problems for many of us.

It's working great!

Question: When I run winecfg (from the different version install), where is it storing the information, pertaining to the particular Wine or to all versions?

Example: /home/escapedturkey/wine-0.9.15/usr/bin/wine-0.9.15 winecfg

Hope my question makes sense.
