No wine? [solved]

Bazzaah · 2010-03-20 08:34:18

I'd like to install wine.

I have core, extra and community enabled in pacman.conf.

As the wiki suggests, I run this command

pacman -S wine

but I always get

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

I've tried various repos from various countries so far....all the same. Am I missing something?

Compiling wine doesn't work due to missing libraries and an AUR has ended in a messy dependency hell.

Loving arch but I'm a bit confused on this.

I'd appreciate some help - thanks in advance...

Wine is i686 only. If you are on x86_64 look in the AUR for bin32-wine.

Bazzaah · 2010-03-20 09:30:57

Thanks - I do have a x86_64 - is there a way I can choose nano as $EDITOR?

Through packer, I'm prompted to edit the installation files but can't edit/exit the files to change architectures.

I don't think you want to do what it looks like you're doing. Which package are you changing architectures for. If the package does not have the architecture you want it doesn't work for that architecture.

I would suggest installing Yaourt if you haven't already.

Then...

yaourt -S bin32-wine

or

yaourt -S bin32-wine-suse

I'm running x86_64 with the bin32-wine-suse package and it works perfectly fine. Also if you have a Nvidia card you'll need...

pacman -S lib32-nvidia-utils

For more help on wine check out the wiki http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wine

Bazzaah · 2010-03-20 11:10:28

thanks for the replies.

I'd be happy to install but have no idea which development libraries it wants so I can't even do that, unless I want to install all of the gcc packages on the repos!

Anyway, I was trying

packer -S bin32-wine

That fails, as does

yaourt -S bin32-wine

This is what I get with the latter

 
yaourt -S bin32-wine

but for wine in [extra] jack is an optional dependency, as is libldap, lcms and libpng. libxslt is a makedepend

I am kind of stuck. lib32-jack is a dependency but it says:
:: lib32-jack: conflicts with lib32-jack-audio-connection-kit
and I can just remove ib32-jack-audio-connection-kit because it says that bin32-wine depends on it.
The thing is that I cannot remove bin32-wine because picasa depends on it.
Am I being too lazy or I really need to go that way to make it work?

Comment by: PirateJonno on Thu, 11 Mar 2010 03:01:38 +0000
do pacman -Rd lib32-jack-audio-connection-kit then pacman -U lib32-jack-*.pkg.tar.gz

The error seems to be here - it creates one package and then downloads a different one - I guess the two aren't matching up in some way.

Do you know how I can change that?

Also, the wiki needs amending as there is no wine available through pacman.

use the archlinux-gamimng repository http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=82380
then pacman -S bin32-wine

Kadajski · 2010-03-20 12:10:31

Firstly, there is a wine package through pacman but since you're running a x86_64 system it says there is no package in pacman because the package in pacman is for i686 systems.

Secondly it seems like most of the x86_64 wine package builds in AUR are out of date, a new wine version was released recently so the URLs in the PKGBUILDs need to be updated, so either you will have to manually edit the URL and MD5 hashes in the PKGBUILD to match the new wine version(though I'm not sure if any dependencies have changed), or you will have to wait for it to be updated in AUR. Unless you need wine urgently I'd suggest just waiting a few days and seeing if the packages in AUR are updated.

ngoonee · 2010-03-20 12:16:20

You could just run a 32-bit chroot. Different set of problems, but that way you're not reliant on a whole lot of lib32 packages in the AUR (which will always lag some behind official repo packages).

Ok, but 32 bit apps work well on 64 bit systems don't they? I guess I could install 32 bit Arch and could get Wine just fine so I don't get why 32 bit wine can't go on on the 64 bit repos?

The thing is that I don't actually want the latest release, which it seems that I will have to have, what I want is 1.1.36 where I know the programs I use work really well and run stable. I'd be more than happy to install wine with wine's installer but I can't get what I need to do that, even though I know it all works fine!

I don't need wine urgently, and I dual boot Arch with Mandriva so I'll just use Mandriva instead.

Thanks for your comments though people, much appreciated.

ngoonee · 2010-03-20 13:04:28

32-bit executables can work fine on 64-bit systems, but every non-trivial app (and some trivial ones) call libraries. Arch does not run a multi-lib system (where every lib has 2 copies, a 64-bit and a 32-bit variant) like some of the less KISS distros do. All those lib32 packages basically have 32-bit copies of their respective libraries.

Because Arch is not multi-lib, a 32-bit chroot makes sense. You still get to use the official repos (the 32 bit version), so having one of the dozens of lib32 maintainers take a 2 week break doesn't affect you. You can install the few 32-bit apps you need (google-earth, skype, wine) in the chroot, and use 64-bit for everything else.

will have a look at that option, thanks for the idea.

Pierre · 2010-03-20 13:19:34

This request pops up quite often. I wonder why no TU has put this into the repos yet.

chroot is the way to go then, thanks.

I see where you're coming from and Arch's simplicity of vision should, if it's going to be anything, be consistent. I guess it's one of the reasons why Arch works so well.

Bazzaah · 2010-03-22 14:53:51

I decided in the end that chroot was a bit OTT for my purposes.

The AUR has been updated now so I installed the bin32-wine-suse with packer - marked solved
