running both wine and winex

[Mark Hannessen]

Hi there !

You are very likely using CVS.

try this:

compile and install wine:
./configure --prefix=/usr/wine
make depend
make
make install

compile and install winex:
./configure --prefix=/usr/winex
make depend
make
make install

do NOT add /usr/wine/bin and /usr/winex/bin to $PATH
do NOT add /usr/wine/lib and /usr/winex/lib to $LD_LIBRARY_PATH

then create the following two scripts in your /usr/bin directory.
( wine and winex )

# this is /usr/bin/wine
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/wine/lib
PATH=PATH:/usr/wine/bin"
wine "$@"

# this is /usr/bin/winex
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/winex/lib
PATH=PATH:/usr/winex/bin
wine "$@"

make sure these files have execution rights.
chmod a+x /usr/bin/wine /usr/bin/winex

This should solve your problem.

Have fun.
