I just emerge winex and winsetuptk and everything looks fine.

when I try to start Diablo 2 i go this :

Code:
$winex --winver winxp -- /home/skeleton/.winex/fake_windows/Program\ Files/diablo2/Diablo\ II.exe
/dev/cdrom is not a directory, ignoring drive E:


I still dont understand why it give me the error for the cdrom ...

Code:
[Drive E]
"Path" = "/dev/cdrom"
"Type" = "cdrom"
"Label" = "CD-Rom"
"Filesystem" = "win95"
"Device" = "/dev/cdrom"

0 lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 13 Sep 12 10:52 /dev/cdrom -> cdroms/cdrom0

for winex itself my cpu is at 100% all the time but the game never start it stay there without doing anything. What I did wrong ?

btw : Gentoo 1.2
kernel 2.4.19 (source)

I am not sure if this is the only fix you need but your Path should be the path to where your CDROM gets mount (eg. /mnt/cdrom) not the actual device, that is what the Device stetment is for.

I had similar problem with both wine and winex. It took me some time to figure out that it had something to do with a recent kernel update I had made. So I downgraded kernel from 2.4.19-gentoo-r9 back to r7 and now everything runs perfectly.

Emerge the older version of the kernel. And before compiling it do:

Code:

rm /usr/src/linux
ln -s /usr/src/<your new kernel> /usr/src/linux

Okay, how can I do this without breaking the forum rules...? WineX binary packages have support for copy protection, but the CVS version does not. You're either going to have to subscribe to TransGaming and get a binary package, or find some other way to get it working: the Diablo 2 forum in the CodeWeavers Wine application databese which you'll find at http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?appId=74&versionId=49 should be of help; read their note on copy protection.

What Useful Idiot said about an older kernel being necessary might be true: I needed to switch to a vanilla kernel from my gentoo kernel in order to get Warcraft III working under WineX, but I also never got Diablo II working under Wine or WineX from CVS out of the box.

I paid for Diablo and the expension pack so they are legit so I dont see your point for the copy protection ...

thx for the link I'll look at it and see if I can make it work. I try to download the cvs of winex but they are broken I got a make problem ...

As for the kernel this sucks badly ... anyways I think i'll keep my xp for gaming purpose and I wont pay for winex to make my game playable in linux I already paid for it and even if it is 15$ for 3 month...

thx for the help i really apreciate.

Mine are legit too. It's just that, like I said, WineX CVS and Wine don't have copy protection support code, so if you try to run recent Blizzard games, for example, they'll think that the CD isn't actually in the drive and won't start. So you have to use a binary package, or find some other way to get it working, which you should find in that forum.

Good luck! I definitely know what it's like trying to get games to work under Wine(X)...

Oh I see ok well still my problem is not the cd protection I dont get there ...

Building font metrics. This may take some time...

i let winex run in that mode for at least 30 mins so take some time (bullshit)

I try to run setup.exe from a game cd and still stuck there ...

I will try to download the cvs directly from transgaming and see if I can compiled it ... last time I got an error and cant install it

OK I remove the winex i had install and downloaded the winex cvs ( not from portage). I succeded to build it and install it.

Now When I try to load wine I got that error :

Code:

skeleton@atlas:~/.wine$wine --managed --winver win98 -- c/Program\ Files/Diablo/Diablo\ II.exe
wine: error while loading shared libraries: libntdll.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

skeleton@atlas:~/.wine$whereis libntdll.so
libntdll: /usr/local/lib/libntdll.so


I check in the config file but there is nothing about libntdll or libntdll.so.

ps: I remove the optimisation flag just to be sure

Check the /etc/ld.so.conf and make sure there is a line in there saying:
/usr/local/lib
If not, add it and then as 'root', run 'ldconfig'

By adding the directory to this file and running ldconfig, it builds an internal path for the runtime linker so it knows where to look for all the dynamic libraries.

Then try to run the program again.

sounds like you *might* be having a similar problem to me. Just because it says Building font metrics... doesn't mean that it hasn't finished that and moved onto the next step (eg cd-rom) and stopped there.

I'm having trouble which I seriously think is cd-rom. Basically, the first time I run warcraft 3 it works, but after that it just hangs at 100% cpu every time I run it.
If I reboot again then it runs first time, after that fails.

Well I finally make it works by using the vanilla version of the kernel and using the wine-cvs version (masked one ) Diablo 2 and Counter-strike is working perfectly even the battle.net for D2 yeah ;)


I didn`t try warcraft 3 this is my next step...

Try running install.exe from the CD instead of setup.exe.
