LMDE and Wine 1.5.5

Post by georage »

How to get a recent Wine unstable running on LMDE. This is for 32-bit installs.

1) sudo apt-get install libc6 libc6-dev

2) The ALSA library will need to be downloaded from this link
http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/ma ... 4_i386.deb

3) Right-click that ALSA deb when it downloads and install it with GDebi package installer.

4) Download all the i386 packages at http://dev.carbon-project.org/debian/wine-unstable/

5) Terminal to the download folder used in Step 4, then sudo dpkg -i libwine*.deb

6) sudo dpkg -i wine-bin-unstable*.deb

7) In your LMDE menu, go to Applications/System Tools/Wine Configuration. Wine will ask to install Gecko (for web browsers). You don’t need it for Windows games, but it will automatically install if you like.

8 ) Right click any Windows .exe, go to Open With, select Wine.

9) Enjoy!

couple questions: :wink:
- is this on 32bit or 64bit?
- point 2: do you need 25-4 exactly?

Code: Select all

zerozero@wine ~ $ apt policy libasound2
libasound2:
  Installed: 1.0.25-3
  Candidate: 1.0.25-3
  Version table:
 *** 1.0.25-3 0

This is for 32-bit. I will edit my initial post.

For 64-bit, I believe you can just download the 64-bit packages in Step 4 and download the 64-bit ALSA library in Step 2.

You should be OK with any recent libasound2, but I have not tested it. But post if you learn otherwise.

Thank you, it worked on my amd64 too.
For real newbies like me, there's one step missing (easy to guess, but i missed it at first): 4) Download all the i386 (or amd64) packages AND source file.
Sounds dumb, but this is my first time on linux ;)
