Can't install winetricks

Fleet · 2010-02-20 19:26:44

Hello,

I am trying to install winetricks, but when I run "pacman -Sy winetricks" I get:

winetricks package not found, searching for group...
error: 'winetricks': not found in sync db

I have uncommented all the US and Denmark mirrors in my mirrorlist. Why is this happening?

Best regards

winetricks is in aur: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=17313

Oh, I see it has been removed from community. Very nice if it's not being maintained. I wish to install MS Office 2007. I will see if it can be done without winetricks.

Or you could install winetricks from the AUR... It is a very simple process.

Could you explain to me how to do it, Allan. I can't find winetricks in any repos?

Fleet · 2010-02-21 10:23:41

The thing is, I want to install it with ABS.

Allan · 2010-02-21 11:14:50

What? I think you need to read the wiki about ABS and AUR some more

Sorry for the bad formulation, what I meant was that I can't find the winetricks buildfile in my ABS tree. I want to install winetricks with pacman, so I can remove it with pacman too if I want to do so later.

The packages in the AUR allows you to do that. In fact, they basically force you to.

stefanwilkens · 2010-02-21 12:58:07

wget http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/winet … cks.tar.gz
tar -zxvf winetricks.tar.gz
cd winetricks
makepkg
sudo pacman -U *.pkg.tar.gz

to do all this, you will need to have installed the base-devel group, cabextract and wine:
sudo pacman -S base-devel cabextract wine

If you want to handle AUR packages in a similar way to pacman, I'd suggest yaourt.
