Directions for Installing WineX 2.1 on Mandrake 8.2 Provided by: Scott Klakken Many thanks Scott! -------------------------------------------------------- The following install process was done on a Mandrake 8.2 install in 'non-expert' mode. Please ensure that the 'Development' selection is made so the gcc complier will be installed. 1. Install supporting packages required for the make process **Logon as root** A.

Setup the make process Download WineX from CVS (Please see below comment) $ cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.winex.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/winex login (When you are asked for a password, press enter) $ cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.winex.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/winex co wine 3.
