Summary: can not install easily as normal user
Product: Wine
Version: 20040716
Platform: Other
OS/Version: other
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: wine-tools
AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
ReportedBy: jerome.bouat at wanadoo.fr
Each time I try to install the new wine release, I use the wineinstall script.
But I do not want to install wine as root. Instead, here is what I do :
1. in tools/wineinstall, modify install dir from /usr/local to /usr/local/wine
2. as root :
rm -rf /usr/local/wine /home/wine
mkdir -m a+w /usr/local/wine /home/wine
3. as normal user : run tools/wineinstall and say "no" when the script ask me if
I will give the root password
4. make install (ldconf fails as expected)
5. as root :
[root at localhost j]# cd /home/wine
[root at localhost wine]# tree

18 directories, 19 files
And for each bad link :
[root at localhost wine]# ln -sf /usr/local/wine/lib/wine/notepad.exe.so notepad.exe
[root at localhost wine]#
6. as root : chmod -R a-w /usr/local/wine
I will never install a beta version as root. I will not evolve on this point.
Could you make installation as normal user easier ?
