Wine/Half-Life question

cto2mac · Posted: Tue Sep 24, 2002 4:11 pm Post subject: Wine/Half-Life question

I have my windows half-life disk in my left hand, and my Gentoo running on my box. I would like to see Gentoo and Half-Life to become fast friends. I heard that wine is the only way to make this happen. I would appeal to the wiser penguins out there for a idiots guide to making my half-life on linux install happen.

Thanks

Winex should do the trick nicely , heaps less hassle than installing under wine.

Although the menus look a bit wrong the games runs really nice.

Cheers

youll have to umask in the portage mask file ie../etc/make.profile/package.mask just coment the winex line with a # and you should be ready to rock ....

actually wine would probably work better with halflife

but in any case, for all your wine, winex needs in a friendly fashion visit www.franksworld.net
