Wine problem in Fedora 12

[Fragman]

Hi
I have recently installed Fedora 12 operating system on my computer. I am curious of how to install the new version of wine 1.1.34 on Fedora 12. I want to install some windows softwares which I like. So, can anyone explain me how to install the wine on fedora 12. Or is there any good guide which can help me. I even tried searching it on forums but could not find an valuable information there. One more query, the current version of wine is 1.1.32 on my fedora 12. how long does it take fedora 12 to update a newer version? Please help.

Hi
First you have to download the latest version of the wine from their official site. Open the terminal and move to the directory where you have downloaded the wine. Then you have to configure it, issue this command.

CC="ccache gcc" ./configure --verbose

Some of the linux ditribution need 32bit libraries. So you have to issue this command.

CC="ccache gcc -m32" ./configure --verbose

Then just make it and install, that is too simple

Or is there any good guide which can help me.

For good information of how to download and install wine you can see the wine wiki.

Hi
The above posted is correct. But if you want it to install using the yum, then you have to just add the wine.repo file to your /etc/yum/repos.d/ directory. Then you have to uninstall the wine from your system.

yum remove wine

I will recommend you to install the open SUSE build. For me this worked fine. Just issue the following command in the terminal.

yum install wine wine-dev

I think even you should not have any problem of downloading and installing it. Try it and enjoy wine.
