Played with WineCVS last night, not time better spent.

[Dirk.R.Gently]

I've had an itch to play my favorite game Subspace. Wine has been doing some odd things lately so I thought I'd try Cedega from WineCVS. It installation actually wasn't that difficult but ultimately is was a failure as my game didn't. The cedega package is old, and ... well, ill leave it in case anyone ever needs it:

http://games.cedega.com/gamesdb/games/view.mhtml?game_id=2903

Sources:
http://www.linux-gamers.net/modules/wiwimod/index.php?page=HOWTO+Cedega+CVS
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Install_Cedega

Checked for all the libraries and programs I needed:

emerge -pv fontconfig freetype bison flex jpeg libpng mesa freeglut freeglut libsdl

Assumed packages in gentoo matched:
freetype2 was freetype
libjpeg was jpeg

I thought the cvs client subversion would work but it didn't, you'll need cvs.

emerge cvs

Don't need to be root, there is an install option for that but why would you want an application your home directory?

I created a folder in my home directory called .winecvs but this isn't necessary as the script will create a .WineCVS directory.

Downloaded the script:
wget http://winecvs.linux-gamers.net/WineCVS.sh

and ran it

sh WineCVS.sh

The install scripts are downloaded then it looks like you have to select a profile, I chose cedega universal install #1.

hmm, autoconf doesn't appear to be configured correctly

cd ~/.WineCVS/sources/cvscedega/winex
autoconf

Started compiling and...

make[1]: *** [wrc] Error 2

dam make errors. on the tutorial it mentioned these error are probably from flex. flex 2.5.33-r1 didn't work had to use

emerge =flex-2.5.4a-r6

cd ~/.WineCVS/sources/cvscedega/winex
make clean

and start the script over.

Another error I'm so excited. The users in freenode #winehq helped out - thought it was probably being built with the -j option which is used from SMP system but at times can cause problems. so I built w/o script.

cd ~/.WineCVS/sources/cvscedega/winex
make clean
make
make install

Didn't work for my program, but maybe this will for you, seemed to start just fine.
