installing wine on arch64

Ok, first off. I've gotten flash working properly by following the directions here:

http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ins … _on_Arch64

As for wine, I haven't been able to find similar directions that are easy enough to follow.

It's not that I'm lazy and haven't looked. I'm pretty unfamiliar with chroot, and don't want to mess things up by trying that. In general, I'm a huge noob and don't want to mess up my already working Arch install.

What I would really like to do is install the necessary lib32 packages and get wine and install it.

on this page: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Usi … _on_Arch64
it says Attention: Never try to install all libs with pacman -S lib32. which makes me very afraid. I'm not sure what to do.

Can someone provide me with instructions detailing the exact commands I would need to run in order to get WINE working?

I have already installed the following from the wiki entry on flash:

pacman -Sy --asdeps gtk2 lib32-atk lib32-cairo lib32-expat lib32-fontconfig lib32-freetype2 lib32-gcc-libs lib32-glib2 lib32-glibc lib32-gtk2 lib32-libice lib32-libpng lib32-libsm lib32-libx11 lib32-libxau lib32-libxcb lib32-libxcursor lib32-libxext lib32-libxfixes lib32-libxft lib32-libxi lib32-libxinerama lib32-libxmu lib32-libxrandr lib32-libxrender lib32-libxt lib32-pango lib32-pcre lib32-zlib libxt util-linux-ng lib32-alsa-lib

Do I need anything else? What's a safe place to get a wine package? "pacman -S wine" will not work.

Eventually, it would be really nice to run Steam on wine. Any additional insights as to how this is done would be great. I've read a lot about a hack or fix or something, but haven't found anything that explicitly says how to do it.

Thanks in advance. I promise to do a write-up in the wiki if anyone can provide a solution.

Use bin32-wine-suse.

Re: installing wine on arch64

I installed it through yaourt and I'm getting a bunch of errors when I run winecfg about how c//windows and directories like that don't exist.

Re: installing wine on arch64

Try running "wineprefixcreate" and see if that helps.

Re: installing wine on arch64

It sounds like you have an existing ~/.wine which is badly set up. If it doesn't contain anything you want to keep, just delete it. Then, wine will automatically create a whole new ~/.wine when run again.

And the code to do that is:

 rm -rf ~/.wine

Re: installing wine on arch64

X Error of failed request:  GLXBadContext
  Major opcode of failed request:  163 (GLX)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  5 (X_GLXMakeCurrent)
  Serial number of failed request:  18
  Current serial number in output stream:  18

Is the problem I'm getting. I have no idea what this means.

When I try to run it as su it complains about how the /.wine dir is not owned.

Re: installing wine on arch64

See this thread re GLXBadContext.

Do not run wine as root. Set up your PC properly to run wine as a user.

Re: installing wine on arch64

It's an old post but I'm still using wine on my 64 bit machine with this method.  Maybe you can get some ideas here: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=27251

Re: installing wine on arch64

wow, I had the same problem or question as you did and it helped me installed wine from this thread.

Go to where brebs told you go to go bin32-wine-suse and download the tarball

extract it to a directory and then do

makepkg -i

it'll give you a list of dependencies to download for it to make the package - for me it was 4.

install those, and then do

makepkg -i

again, and it will make a .tar for archlinux and install it if you have permission to do so... i did not so i just ran pacman with root.

it installed, wine works. after its installed, do

winecfg
