WineCVS on AMD64.

[SteakTheMooCow]

This works for me

The first few times you tried it do this, you'll probably get libXext, libX11 or maybe

Code: Select all

make[2]: *** No rule to make target `../../dlls/ddraw/tests/ddraw_test.exe.so', needed by `ddraw_test.exe.so'.  Stop.
make[2]: Leaving directory `/cvs/wine/programs/winetest'
make[1]: *** [winetest/__install__] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/cvs/wine/programs'
make: *** [programs/__install__] Error 2

I'd assume ATi just need to run the same link...

First, we need the CVS.

Code: Select all

export CVSROOT=:pserver:cvs@cvs.winehq.org:/home/wine
cvs login 

Password is "cvs"
Now go to the directory you want the CVS installed into... (the first line is what I do, the second is the CVS)

Code: Select all

mkdir /cvs ; cd /cvs
cvs -z 0 checkout wine

Now this tends to take a while... so start setting up the emulation libraries below...
Once its done, we can go to 'compiling'

The Emulation Libraries

Code: Select all

emerge emul-linux-x86-baselibs emul-linux-x86-compat emul-linux-x86-glibc emul-linux-x86-gtklibs emul-linux-x86-qtlibs emul-linux-x86-sdl emul-linux-x86-soundlibs emul-linux-x86-xlibs

However, if you run WineCVS, its not enough just to have the X11/Xext files in play. You also need freetype. Problem solved.

Code: Select all

cp /usr/lib/libfreetype.* /emul/linux/x86/usr/lib/

Yes, that does mean the libfreetype files are 64 bit.[1]

Compiling
Ok, first of all go to the directory, which for me is /cvs/wine. I don't use the ./tools/wineinstall method that's recommended, because it just doesn't work on an AMD64. Anyway, first of all give it a shot without touching anything, you might get lucky, even if I doubt it, it might work.

Now, you'll get a directdraw/directx error unless it can find libraries for your card. Mine are nvidia, so here's how I did it...

Code: Select all

ln -sf /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/ /emul/linux/x86/usr/lib/opengl/nvidia

Anyway, I have to run this

Code: Select all

./configure --x-libraries=/emul/linux/x86/usr/lib ; make clean ; make depend ; make

Then its time for "make install."

Now wine runs Good luck to everyone else

[1] The first freetype file used was from Gentoo from the P4. It failed. I also grabbed one from Slackware 10.2 from the Pentium-M and watched it die.


Tested and running software:
- EKS Sherlock (google for EKS Sherlock... its a Windows/DOS game)
- Steam (Half life 2 DM running, installing CS:S as I write this. Same engine, so if it screws up, I'll let you know.)

Hi SteakTheMooCow,

thank you for your explanations.

This is what I did so far:
1) I decided to install winecvs globally so that all users would be able to use it. So, I followed all instructions and install it on /opt/cvs
2) I succesfully installed it but have two errors:
First one now firefox-bin does not run anymore due to this error message:

Code: Select all

No running windows found
/opt/firefox/firefox-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libfreetype.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
firefox-bin exited with non-zero status (127)

which relates to emul-linux-x86-xlibs. By implementing what you adviced to

Code: Select all

cp /usr/lib/libfreetype.* /emul/linux/x86/usr/lib/

you do not allow other apps to run as you replace 32bit with 64bit.
So, in order to fix this problem I had to re-emerge emul-linux-x86-xlibs and this part was solved. But, still remains the fact that your cp caused an issue with other apps.
Second one when I run winecfg I get this error and not able to continue:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/bin/wine: error while loading shared libraries: libwine.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

So, this to me means three things:
1)

Code: Select all

cp /usr/lib/libfreetype.* /emul/linux/x86/usr/lib/

is not proper for me. How to solve this issue? If I do not apply something similar to this winecvs won't compile.
2) what makes wine complaints and not run?
3) this line: ./configure --x-libraries=/emul/linux/x86/usr/lib does it have to be this way or can I just have ./configure?

thank you,
Spiro

Hi,

I solved my problem. I applied a new ebuild wine ebuild 9999 whcih allows cvs install, and wine compiles fine. So, no need anymore to go through all the above steps.

Thank you anyway,
Spiro

Thanks for the info.
