Hello,


Does anybody know of/ have an easy step by step tutorial of installing wine? The other ones I have found to be very confusing. Thanks in advance.

I've never used wine so can't help at all with configuring it but for simply installing it under Slackware you can find a package built for it at http://www.linuxpackages.net then use pkgtool to install it.

Don't know if the wine works gread or you just managed to install it...

Can't help you with that, but i had problems using wine-something.tgz package so i compiled from source and it works fine.

If wine won't work you could download the source from www.winehq.org and install it using wineinstall script, it is located in <dir_where_you_unpacked_source>/tools/wineinstall

or compile it:

./configure
make depend
make
checkinstall - as root, if you want to create an wine-xxx.tgz file, or just make install , also as root

Also, there is a lot of documentation os www.winehq.org

Good luck!
