The Big Switch [Windoze to *nix]
Lord C:
rofl, my bad... SWITCH!
Thanks a lot emh ! cheers man.
I am back on 9.0 ... everything working smoothly except installs.
I CVS'd WineX but it would install cos it needed some libarys, so i got htem and they needed some other files, so i got them and yet again - they needed some other files! I am now bold.
I havnt got WineX or KDE 3.1 to install (manged configure them, just during make install i get errors.)
I have made sure i have updated 9.0 with Mandrake Update.
If anyone can help installing WineX (i have CS on a NTFS partition) and KDE3.1 i would be most greatful.
I do have VNC, if anyone can help in that way?
emh:
Let's go back to WineX.
When you first try to install WineX, what files does it say it needs? Most of the time, I've found that those files are included in a libblahblah-devel package, and these usually don't depend on anything else other than the original libblahblah package. So once this devel package gets installed, the program you want will install happily ever after.
As far as KDE 3.1, I'm not really sure. I looked around http://www.rpmfind.net , but I couldn't really find one big source rpm that would give you all the KDE RPMs you needed. You might give this page a try, it gives setup commands for urpmi:

Another question, and I don't want you to think you're dumb or anything because I'm asking this, it's just something I want to make sure of. After typing "./configure", do you run "make" before running "make install"? Also, are you running "make install" as root? If you are doing both of these, then ignore these questions. ;)

Lord C:
rofl yup, i was config/makeing it right.
fuck KDE3.1 cos 3.0 s fine - if it aitn broke dont fix it.
But i really wanna get WineX working.
Im using the CVS:
$ cvs -d server:[email protected]:/cvsroot/winex login
Hit Enter when prompted for a password
$ cvs -z3 -d server:[email protected]:/cvsroot/ winex co wine
followed by ./tools/wineinstall
towards the end i get this error:

Sorry for the late reply, busy day at work, plus I had dinner with my parents.
I think I know how to solve your WineX problem.
Install the libMesaGLU1-devel package. It's on your Mandrake CD's (CD 2 to be exact) and it includes the glu.h file that WineX is looking for.
Just install it from the Software Management tool in the Mandrake Control Center. It will also install any other packages that might be necessary. (such as the libMesaGLU1 package)
Let me know if that works or not. I'm almost certain it should compile now.
Lord C:
Thanks loads! this worked.
I have now sucessfully installed WineX.
Got any example config you can send me plz?
I have a Windows installation at /mnt/nt2/windows
and i have Counter-Strike installed at /mnt/nt/SIERRA/Half-Life/cstrike if this helps.
All i want WineX for is to play CS :D
