Linux Mint Forums

I have downloaded wine-1.5.3.tar.bz2 setup as a zip file from their site
i have extracted it to my Home downloads folder and tried to install it
as it is said in the readme file

( install Wine. From the top-level directory
of the Wine source (which contains this file), run:
./tools/wineinstall )

But I am not able to do it in this way
I don't have free dataplans, so plz don't suggest me to
get it from software center or through terminal online

Is it possible to install it from the downloaded 'wine-1.5.3.tar.bz2' ...?

I also wanted to know how to install 'firefox-17.0.tar.bz2' from the tarball archive

anybody thr .................
am waiting

This is the sources of your sofwares, check if you have the required dependency's to build them.

Why did you want to install them from sources ?

They have precompiled version, prepackaged in a .deb...

can u give me the link for a prepackaged wine 1.5 in a .deb
which can be directly installed without a internet access ?

Yes i can

But depending of your system...
