Installing wine for crossover eveonline
hi
Am a Windows user and used to the pc doing the work.
I am trying to install wine-1.0.1.tar.bz2 but Have absolutly no clue how to do it. Never used the command line. And reading the how to is not workingfor me its almost like jiberisch.
Have Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy) downloaded the right one for my system(i think) in the add/remove software its just gray and wont let me add it. Used archive Manager what do I have to do to install it?? I havent tried running any commands last time i installed something my pc was broke for 2 monthsLast edited by Maloku; 04-24-2009 at 08:03 AM. Reason: extra info

There should be no need to compile Wine from source. It's generally better to let the Package manager do the work. For Ubuntu that would be Syanptic. If the program is greyed out, you may need to enter your password to allow it. Or, from command line, execute:
Code:sudo apt-get install wine

If you are connected to the Internet, you can easily install WINE with one of the following 2 ways:
Go to System->Administration->Synaptic. Search for wine, mark it for installation and press APPLY. If it asks you to install dependencies, click Yes.
Also go to System->Administration->Update Manager to update all your programs.
From the terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal):
The first 2 commands will give you the newest available versions for ALL your programs (Firefox, Openoffice, GIMP,everything else...). The 3rd will install wine.Code:sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade sudo apt-get install wine
There is also a new version 9.04 of Ubuntu available, which has many improvements over 8.04 and newer versions of programs. You can download it here.
