Now Getting the new Wine, Patching it and Installing it :
Code:
mkdir wine && cd wine
wget http://easynews.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/wine/wine-0.9.50.tar.bz2
tar -xvjf wine-0.9.50.tar.bz2
wget http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=8548
cp attachment.cgi\?id\=8548 wine-0.9.50/3dmark.diff && cd wine-0.9.50
patch -p1 < 3dmark.diff
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --enable-opengl --with-x
make depend && make
sudo checkinstall
Now accept the default settings and when an option will come up to set a description, set one and enter, select the next default. Done!
Setting up wine :
To setup wine run the followin codes :
Code:
wineprefixcreate
winecfg
Now get the DirectX 9 DLL files by running the following codes :
Code:
mkdir dx9 && cd dx9
wget http://www.m3fe.com/files/d3dx9_34.zip
unzip d3dx9_34.zip
mv d3dx9_34.dll ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/
Now Install the Game with wine :
Code:
cd /path to cdrom/
wine setup.exe
Now Run the game you just installed :
Code:
cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Game\ Folder/gamename.exe
To give the game the best and smoothest performance, don not run your game in too high graphics configuration.
Making such cross-platform workaround isn't easy.
All the best!
