installing wine 1.4

[cwwilson721]

You can always compile it yourself if you wish.

But RC releases just aren't stable enough for me.

In the meantime you can also run

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa
sudo apt-get install wine1.3

This will install the latest wine 1.3-beta, which is already labeled as wine 1.4-rc1.

Exactly, if you check the Wine installed is indicated as 1.4 RC1, even if you install it as 1.3

Hi All,

On 11.10, I'm trying to install wine 1.4 according to the instructions at
http://www.linuxnov.com/wine-1-4-rel...-new-download/
When I try to follow the instructions


I receive the following output/error message via the console.
Any suggestions of how to resolve these conflicts?

Thanks, Jeremy

As I explained above there is no Wine 1.4 for the moment. It's the 1.3 beta with a new name. So installing the wine 1.3, the installed Wine is the Wine 1.4rc2

Right, I did it this way in the PPAs because renaming the package requires users to manually accept the removal and replacement on upgrade. For Oneiric, Natty, Maverick, and Lucid I am delaying that problem till 1.4 releases in full.


Meanwhile, in Precise, there are actual wine1.4 packages in the archive. They work fully, however they're not yet available with apt-get -- the reason is that I am waiting on the archive admins to manually remove the old wine1.2 and wine1.3 packages, which wine1.4 provides replacements for. Until then, the only way to get the wine1.4 as I've packaged it in Precise involves manual compilation (on multiple architectures even!).

I will probably put the precise pacakges in the PPA to deal with this when I update them to rc3.

Thanks.

Waiting for RC3 too, does not understand why it takes so much time to be compiled after each release is done (usually on Saturday) and winetricks needs to be updated too to replace the oldish one.

The Lucid packade is still 1.3.37, did you miss that one or is it intentional?

[johnaaronrose]

Same as previous post re Lucid.

[sportfreak2020]

its may3rd and wine1.4 is still not available in the repo .. is it just me acting like a noob !!??
