Salix OS

On the other hand, a older slackware version is available from winehq

Wine is not an emulator nor win. And I need to install it for my EccoPro PIM (which runs better on GNU/Linuix than it does on Windoze) in Salix 14.1 Xfce (otherwise, a very nice distro).

How do I do that?

Thanks in advance.

Assuming that you have a 32 bit machine you could try Alien Bob package. Just download it from here:
http://www.slackware.com/~alien/slackbu ... /pkg/14.1/

and the cd to the directory you downloaded it to and do this:

Code: Select all

$ sudo spkg -i 	wine-1.7.24-i486-1alien.txz

He has a 64 bit package but you will need to install multilib

OK, I'll try that. But since the CPU is 64 bits, I'll install multilib first.

I also downloaded and extracted the winhq slackware package, but am not sure what I need to run to compile it.

Thanks for the tip.

I downloaded the 64 bit package to the desktop and installed using the code you provided, but seaching on multilib in sourcerer and gslapt produces no results and

Code: Select all

one[Desktop]$ sudo spkg -i multilib
ERROR: Package file does not exist. (multilib)
ERROR: Package installation failed!

didn't either.

Any suggestion?

Thanks in advance.

There is a script by djemos to install multilib. Search the forum and you should find it.Be warend it takes ages to run and will install a huge amount of stuff, so make sure you have plenty of room first.

That must be the post that mimosa referred to.

It's a little complicated but I'll try to get to it later today.

I have found Salix XFCE to be a very nice distro and I hope I can get Wine installed because I need access to the data and functionality of the EccoPro PIM (which is an old Windoze app and as I mentioned, runs much better on GNU/Linux than on M$ systems).

Run wine in 64bit

Download install-multilib
install the package

Code: Select all

sudo spkg -i install-multilib-1.1.0-x86_64-1dj.txz

Install multilib (make a coffee it will take some time)

Code: Select all

sudo install-multilib salix local

Install wine 32 bit
download wine 32bit
and install it

Code: Select all

sudo spkg -i wine-1.7.9-i486-1alien.txz

i always delete fonts

Code: Select all

sudo rm /usr/share/wine/fonts/*

run winecfg
run windows apps
