Installing Wine in Linux CentOS

Wine enables Linux, Mac, FreeBSD, and Solaris users to run Windows applications without a copy of Microsoft Windows. Wine is free software under constant development. You can find the details from the url: http://www.winehq.com/

Installation of wine 1.1.39 in CentOS:

You can download the wine 1.1.39 from the url: http://www.winehq.org/announce/1.1.39 or http://sourceforge.net/projects/wine/files/Source/

Before installing wine make sure you have done following steps so that wine dependencies are already installed in CentOS Server.

# yum upgrade (Its not necessary)

# Download flex 2.5.33 from the url: http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/9770752/com/flex-2.5.33-11.fc8.i386.rpm.html
and run

#rpm –ivh flex-2.5.33-11.fc8.i386.rpm --force

# yum install XFree86-devel arts-devel audiofile-devel bison cups-devel cyrus-sasl-devel e2fsprogs-devel esound-devel expat-devel fontconfig-devel freetype-devel gcc glib2-devel gphoto2-devel isdn4k-utils-devel krb5-devel libao-devel libjpeg-devel libmng-devel libogg-devel libpng-devel libusb-devel libvorbis-devel libxml-devel libxml2-devel libxslt-devel ncurses-devel openldap-devel openssl-devel pkgconfig qt-devel sane-backends-devel zlib-devel rpm-build


Once you've installed the build dependencies you need, you're ready to compile the package. In the terminal window, after having navigated to the Wine source tree, run the following commands:

# ./configure

# make depend

# make

# make install



To uninstall Wine from source, once again navigate to the same source folder that you used to install Wine using the terminal. Then, run the following command:

# make uninstall
