winex problems

[TheOmegaCode]

I just cvs'd winex from sourceforge. I read through the readme, and I ran ./tools/wineinstall. Then I came to an error...

../include/ts_xlib.h:16:22: X11/Xlib.h: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [ts_xlib.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/elanvital/wine/tsx11'
make: *** [tsx11/libwine_tsx11.so] Error 2

So i went to directory tsx11/ and ran make... which then gave me this error

ts_xlib.c:10:22: X11/Xlib.h: No such file or directory
In file included from ts_xlib.c:12:
../include/ts_xlib.h:16:22: X11/Xlib.h: No such file or directory
make: *** [ts_xlib.o] Error 1

A simply "find / -name Xlib.h -depth -print" told me there was no such file... where am I to get this???

It would come in the package containing the headers and libs necessary for compiling X programs. Not sure what it will be called on your distro... on Slack, it's Xprog, I think RedHat and others call it something like x-devel. Whatever the name, it will end up at /usr/include/X11/Xlib.h.

Thx, I think I got it... XFree86-devel for RedHat/Mandrake distro's

After seeing your post, I downloaded winex source from cvs and successfully compiled it.

I'm mildly familiar with wine, but this cvs build is unsupported. Where would you go from here? I skimmed the winex-devel mailing list archives to get a flavor for what's going on.

For example, I have the understanding that only the official WineX binary distribution contains support for copy-protected CDs (which are common with games).

I hardly play games, so re-booting into Winblows isn't a terrible thing.

However, seeing that WineX is moving along very nicely (DX8 support is reportedly getting there), I would be thrilled to have mainstream gaming support under Linux.

yeah, sad to say... If Counter-Strike and divX worked for me in linux, I wouldn't have to boot to winblows at all... Hell, I use bitchx, openssh, apache, blah blah blah on my windows box, and I have litestep as my shell.. So, it looks enough like linux... It even recognizes alot of unix commands from cmd.exe
