WINE and Half-Life woes

[Ricochet]

well i've recently installed wine according to this guide:
http://lhl.linuxgames.com/howto/half-life-HOWTO-0.4.1.html#AEN126

but whenever i try to run setup.exe off the hl cd i get the following:

FIXME :pthread_rwlock_rdlock
FIXME :pthread_rwlock_unlock
FIXME :pthread_rwlock_rdlock
FIXME :pthread_rwlock_unlock

any ideas?

i'm running mandrake8 btw w/ the latest nvidia reference drivers on my tnt2u...

i supose i should add the i skipped the whole "update through CVS" part or whatever. it said it's not recommended for modem users since it's big. ermmm... it should still work even if i just use the tarball available on wine's site right?

For nVidia cards you need to remove a few more libraries. run

rm /usr/lib/libGL*.a

then recompile wine.

I would suggest cvs downloading wine even by modem. I will take about an hour or so but then you can always come back each week or day if you like and get updated with out having to re-download the whole thing all over again :)

I have noticed that wine won't run some programs and has diffuculty with others I get some messed up screens some times.

This is a good reason to cvs download the whole thing because some one may have fixed just after the tarball you downloaded was put to gether.

Anyway good luck. Oh XFree86 takes for ever to get by cvs. But a nice thing is you can stop downloading and come back again some other time and get the rest just do update each time worked just fine for me.

ok i'll try removing those libraries. that wont kill opengl support will it? o wellz. i can always reinstall.

i might also try downloading wine via cvs... how long does it take to update it after the initial download?

[Ricochet]

ok i tried deleting that libgl file and recompilied wine and now here's what i get:

i'm really starting to wonder if this is more trouble than it's worth. heh.

Could you send it to me too? I'd really appreciate it. Send it to ben_a@nettaxi.com

I tried half life with the Mandrake WINE package.....no go..

Then I downloaded codeweavers WINE, and tried that....no go.

Both were RPMs.. Do I NEED to compile it myself to get half life to run?

Call me strange, but I like using RPMs cause when I want to remove something, it's only a couple of clicks.

you guys should do a little more research: http://lhl.linuxgames.com/
I Love NY, if your HOW-TO is more comprehensive than this one, could you post a url where people could get it?
