Installing winex from cvs

[retoon]

Hello all, I have been considering running a few games from my now deceased winbox, and have come accross winex as the only solution to run them. The one Im really going for is medal of honor-allied assault (Amazing game). The challenge I have come accross is aquiring winex. I have been to transgaming's site, and saw two main options. I can either pay something like 60 bucks for winex rpms for my distro, or I can install from cvs files for free. I figured I would give the free method a try first, then if need be, pay money. Now here is where it gets tricky. I have no idea which files to download, and once they are downloaded, what do I do with them? If there is anyone out there that feels like helping out a newbie, I would appreciate it much.
Here is the page I keep coming accross
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/winex/

First off, the minimum membership is for 3 months and only costs $15.

2nd try this site:

http://ting.homeunix.org/GetWineXscripts.html

They have useful scripts that you can download and then will automaticly get the winex version you want and install it.

If you don't want to use of of those scripts then do this:

type this in a console: cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.winex.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/winex login
<push enter when it asks for password>
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.winex.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/winex co wine

now you will have a folder with the cvs version of wine. cd into that folder and as root type in: ./tools/wineinstall

it will now compile and install winex. It will ask if you want to make a local /root/.wine/config. say no, because running wine as root is a bad thing. Instead run that script again as a user and then say yes to making a /home/user/.wine/config file.

The default config file should work, if not, there are graphical file editors. I know Codeweavers makes a winesetup tool if you want to hunt for it.

I have written a tutorial on compiling/configuring WineX from CVS if anyone is interested :)
