<title>Getting Wine</title>
<para>
If you decided that you can use and want to use Wine (e.g. after
having read the <link linkend="introduction">introductory
chapter</link>), then as a first step you need to find a good
compatible Wine version that you like and that works on your
system, and after you found one, the next step is to transfer its
files to your system somehow.
This chapter is here to tell you what you need to take care of
in order to successfully accomplish these two steps.

There are three different methods of how the files
belonging to Wine may be brought (downloaded) to your system:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>
Getting a single Wine <glossterm>package</glossterm> file
(specifically adapted to your particular system), which
contains various <glossterm>binary</glossterm> files of Wine
</para>

Once you've decided that Wine is right for your needs, the next step is
to decide how you want to install it. There are three methods for
installing Wine from Winehq, each with their own advantages and
disadvantages.

Using Wine package files is easy for three
reasons:
They install everything else that's needed for their
operation, they usually preconfigure a lot, and you
don't need to worry about compiling anything or so.
You can get the official wine packages from

<para>
A Wine source code archive file can be used
if you want to compile your own standard Wine release.
By using differential patch files to newer Wine versions,
you can easily upgrade your outdated Wine directory.
However, as you need to manually download patch files
and you're only able to download the most current
standard Wine release, this is not necessarily the
best method to use.
The only advantage a Wine source archive has is that it
is a standard Wine release with less development
"quirks" than current CVS code. Except for that, CVS
source code is much preferred and almost as easy.

The Wine CVS checkout offers the best way to take
part in bleeding edge Wine capabilities and
development, since you'll be able to download every

last official Wine release.
As upgrading a Wine CVS checkout tree to the latest
version is very easy, this is a recommended method
of installing Wine.
Plus, by carefully following the instructions in this
Guide, you'll be able to gain the very best Wine
environment compatibility.

<para>
If you are running a distribution of Linux or some other
system that uses packages to keep track of installed software,
you should be in luck: A prepackaged version of Wine
should already exist for your system.
The following sections will tell you how to find the latest
Wine packages and get them installed. You should be careful,
though, about mixing system packages between different distributions,
and even from different versions of the same distribution.
Often a package will only work on the distribution which it
has been compiled for. We'll cover
<link linkend="getting-dist-debian">Debian Linux</link>,
<link linkend="getting-dist-linux">Red Hat, Mandrake, SUSE and Slackware Linux</link>,
<link linkend="getting-freebsd">FreeBSD</link>, and
<link linkend="getting-other">other</link> distributions.
By far the easiest method for installing Wine is to use a prepackaged
version of Wine. These packages contain ready-to-run Wine binary
files specifically compiled for your distribution, and they are
tested regularly by the packagers for both functionality and
completeness.
</para>
<para>
If you're not lucky enough to have a package available for
your operating system, or if you'd prefer a newer version of
Wine than already exists as a package, you will need to
download the Wine source code and compile it yourself on your
own machine. Don't worry, it's not too hard to do this,
especially with the many helpful tools that come with Wine.
You don't need any programming experience to compile and
install Wine, although it might be nice to have some minor
UNIX administrative skills. Working from the source is
covered in the Wine Developer's Guide.
Packages are the recommended method for installing Wine. We make
them easily available at the
<ulink url="http://www.winehq.org/site/download">WineHQ downloads page
</ulink>, and these are always the latest packages available. Being
popular, Wine packages can also be found elsewhere in official
distribution repositories. These can, however, sometimes be out of
date, depending on the distribution. Packages are easily upgradable
as well, and many distributions can upgrade Wine seamlessly with a
few clicks. Building your own installable binary package from a
source package is also possible, although it is beyond the scope of
this guide.
</sect2>
<sect2 id="installation-methods-source">
<title>Installation from a source archive</title>
<para>
Sometimes the Wine packages don't fit your needs exactly. Perhaps
they're not available for your architecture or distribution, or
perhaps you want to build wine using your own compiler optimizations
or with some options disabled, or perhaps you need to modify a
specific part of the source code before compilation. Being an open
source project, you are free to do all of these things with Wine's
source code, which is provided with every Wine release. This method
of installation can be done by downloading a Wine source archive and
compiling from the command line. If you are comfortable with such
things and have special needs, this option may be for you.
</para>
<para>
Getting Wine source archives is simple. Every release, we put a
source package in compressed tar.gz format at the
<ulink url="http://www.winehq.org/site/download">WineHQ downloads
page</ulink>. Compiling and installing Wine from source is slightly
more difficult than using a package, however we will cover it in
depth and attempt to hold your hand along the way.

<title>Installation from a cvs snapshot</title>
<para>
If you wish to try out the bleeding edge of Wine development, or
would even like to help develop Wine yourself, you can download the
very latest source code from our CVS server. Instructions for
downloading from the Wine cvs repository are available at <ulink
url="http://www.winehq.org/site/cvs">http://www.winehq.org/site/cvs
</ulink>.
</para>
<para>
Please take note that the usual warnings for using a developmental
version still apply. The source code on the CVS server is largely
untested and may not even compile properly. It is, however, the
best way to test out how Wine will work in the next version, and if
you're modifying source code it's best to get the latest copy. The
CVS repository is also useful for application maintainers interested
in testing if an application will still work right for the next
release, or if a recent patch actually improves things. If you're
interested in helping us to get an application working in Wine, see

<title>Installing a fresh package</title>
<para>
In most cases on a Debian system (or any other distribution that
uses packages that use the file name ending .deb, for that
matter), you can download and install Wine with a
single command, as <glossterm>root</glossterm>:
</para>
<screen>
<prompt># </><userinput>apt-get install wine</>
</screen>
<para>
<command>apt-get</command> will connect to a Debian archive
across the Internet (thus, you must be online), then download
the Wine package and install it on your system. End of story.
You might first need to properly update your package setup,
though, by using an <glossterm>editor</glossterm> as
<glossterm>root</glossterm> to add an entry to
<filename>/etc/apt/sources.list</filename> to point to an active
package server and then running <command>apt-get
update</command>.
</para>
<para>
Once you're done with that step, you may skip the Wine
installation chapter, since apt-get has not only downloaded,
but also installed the Wine files already.
Thus you can now go directly to the <link
linkend="config-wine-main">Configuration section</link>.
</para>
<para>
However, if you don't want to or cannot use the automatic
download method for .deb packages that
<command>apt-get</command> provides, then please read on.
</para>
<para>
Of course, Debian's pre-packaged version of Wine may not be
the most recent release. If you are running the stable
version of Debian, you may be able to get a slightly newer
version of Wine by grabbing the package from the so-called
"unstable" Debian distribution, although this may be a little
risky, depending on how far the unstable distribution has
diverged from the stable one. You can find a list of Wine
binary packages for the various Debian releases using the
package search engine at <ulink
url="http://www.debian.org">www.debian.org</ulink>.
</para>
<para>
If you downloaded a separate .deb package file (e.g. a newer
Wine release as stated above) that's not part of your
distribution and thus cannot be installed via
<command>apt-get</command>, you must use <command>dpkg</command> instead.
For instructions on how to do this, please proceed to the
<link linkend="installing">Installation section</link>.
</para>
Installing a package on a fresh system is remarkably straightforward.
Simply download and install the package using whatever utility your
distribution provides. There is usually no need to explicitly
remove old packages before installing, as modern Linux distributions
should upgrade and replace them automatically. If you installed
Wine from source code, however, you should remove it before
installing a Wine package. See the section on <link
linkend="uninstalling-wine-source">uninstalling Wine from source
</link> for proper instructions.

Wine works on a huge amount of different Linux distributions, as well
other Unix-like systems such as Solaris and FreeBSD, each with their
own specific way of installing and managing packages. Fortunately,
however, the same general ideas apply to all of them, and installing
Wine should be no more difficult than installing any other software,
no matter what distribution you use. Uninstalling Wine packages is
simple as well, and in modern Linux distributions is usually done
through the same easy interface as package installation.
</para>
<para>
We won't cover the specifics of installing or uninstalling Wine
packages among the various systems' methods of packaging and package
management in this guide, however, up to date installation notes for
particular distributions can be found at the WineHQ website in the
howto, at <ulink url=""></ulink>. If you need further help figuring
out how to simply install a Wine package, we suggest consulting your
distribution's documentation, support forums, or IRC channels.

<title>Installing Wine from source</title>
<para>
If you are going to compile Wine (instead of installing binary
Wine files), either to use the most recent code possible or to
improve it, then the first thing to do is to obtain a copy of
the source code. We'll cover how to retrieve and compile the
source releases from the <link
linkend="getting-source">official archives</link>, and also how
to get the cutting edge up-to-the-minute fresh Wine source code
from <link linkend="getting-source-cvs">CVS (Concurrent Versions
System)</link>.
Before installing Wine from source, make sure you uninstall any Wine
binary packages you may have on your system. Installing from source
requires use of the terminal window as well as a full copy of the
Wine source code. Once having downloaded the source from CVS or
extracted it from an archive, navigate to it using the terminal and
then follow the remaining steps.
</para>
<para>
Once you have downloaded Wine source code according to the
instructions below, there are two ways to proceed: If you want
to manually install and configure Wine, then go to the <link
linkend="compiling">Compiling</link> section. If instead you
want automatic installation, then go straight to the <link
linkend="config-wine-main">Configuration section</link> to make
use of <command>wineinstall</command> to automatically install
and configure Wine.
</para>
<para>
You may also need to know how to apply a source code patch to
your version of Wine. Perhaps you've uncovered
a bug in Wine, reported it to the
<ulink url="http://bugs.winehq.org">Wine Bugzilla</ulink>
or the
<ulink url="mailto:wine-devel@winehq.org">Wine mailing list</ulink>,
and received a patch from a developer to hopefully fix the
bug. We will show you how to
<link linkend="getting-upgrading-patch">safely apply the
patch</link> and revert it if it doesn't work.
</para>
<sect2 id="getting-source">
<title>Getting Wine Source Code from the official archives</title>
<sect2>
<title>Getting the Build Dependencies</title>
<para>
The safest way to grab the source is from one of the official
archives. An up to date listing is in the <ulink
url="http://www.winehq.org/source/ANNOUNCE">ANNOUNCE</ulink>
file in the Wine distribution (which you would have if you
already downloaded it). Here is a list
of servers carrying Wine:
Wine makes use of many open source libraries during its operation.
While Wine is not strictly dependent on these libraries and will
compile without most of them, much of Wine's functionality is
improved by having them available at compile time. In the past,
many user problems were caused by people not having the necessary
development libraries when they built Wine from source; because of
this reason and others, we highly recommend installing via binary
packages or by building source packages which can automatically
satisfy their build dependencies.

</itemizedlist>
<para>
The official releases are tagged by date with the format
"Wine-<replaceable>YYYYMMDD</>.tar.gz". Your best bet is to grab
the latest one.
If you wish to install build dependencies by hand, there are several
ways to see if you're missing some useful development libraries.
The most straightforward approach is to watch the configure program's
output before you compile Wine and see if anything important is
missing; if it is, simply install what's missing and rerun configure
before compiling. You can also check the file configure generates,
(include/config.h.in) and see if what files configure is looking for
but not finding.
</para>
<para>
I'd recommend placing the Wine archive file that you chose
into the directory where you intend to extract Wine. In this
case, let's just assume that it is your home directory.
</para>
<para>
Once you have downloaded a Wine archive file, we need to
extract the archive file. This is not very hard to do. First
switch to the directory containing the file you just
downloaded. Then extract the source in a
<glossterm>terminal</glossterm> with (e.g.):
<screen>
<prompt>$ </><userinput>tar xvzf wine-<replaceable>20030115</>.tar.gz</>
</screen>
</para>
<para>
Just in case you happen to get a Wine archive that uses
<filename>.tar.bz2</filename> extension instead of
<filename>.tar.gz</filename>:
Simply use <command>tar xvjf</command> in that case instead.
</para>
<para>
Since you now have a fully working Wine source tree by
having followed the steps above, you're now well-prepared to
go to the Wine installation and configuration steps that follow.

<title>Compiling Wine</title>
<para>
This part is intended to be quick and easy, showing the bare minimum
of what is needed to download Wine source code via CVS.
If you're interested in a very verbose explanation of CVS or
advanced CVS topics (configuration settings, CVS mirror servers,
other CVS modules on WineHQ, CVSWeb, ...), then please read
the full CVS chapter in the Wine Developer's Guide.
Once you've installed the build dependencies you need, you're ready
to compile the package. In the terminal window, after having
navigated to the Wine source tree, run the following commands:
<screen>
<prompt>$ </><userinput>./configure</>
<prompt># </><userinput>make depend</>
<prompt># </><userinput>make</>
<prompt># </><userinput>make install</>
</screen>
The last command requires root privileges. Although you should
never run Wine as root, you will need to install it this way.
</para>
<sect3>
<title>CVS installation check</title>
<para>
First you need to make sure that you have <command>cvs</command>
installed.
To check whether this is the case, please run in a
<glossterm>terminal</glossterm>:
</para>
<screen>
<prompt>$ </><userinput>cvs</>
</screen>
<para>
If this was successful, then you should have gotten a nice CVS
"Usage" help output. Otherwise (e.g. an error "cvs: command
not found") you still need to install a CVS package for your
particular operating system, similar to the instructions given
in the chapters for getting and installing a Wine package on
various systems.
</para>
</sect3>
<sect3>
<title>Downloading the Wine CVS tree</title>
<para>
Once CVS is installed, you can now do a login on our CVS
server and checkout (download) the Wine source code.
First, let's do the server login, to connect to the US server:
</para>
<screen>
<prompt>$ </><userinput> export CVSROOT=:pserver:cvs@cvs.winehq.org:/home/wine</>
<prompt>$ </><userinput> cvs login</>
</screen>
<para>
To connect to the EU server:
</para>
<screen>
<prompt>$ </><userinput>export CVSROOT=:pserver:cvs@rhlx01.fht-esslingen.de:/home/wine</>
<prompt>$ </><userinput>cvs login</>
</screen>
<para>
If <command>cvs</command> successfully connects to the CVS server,
then you will get a "CVS password:" prompt.
Simply enter "cvs" as the password (the password is
<emphasis>case sensitive</emphasis>: no capital letters!).
</para>
<para>
After login, we are able to download the Wine source code tree.
Please make sure that you are in the directory that you want
to have the Wine source code in (the Wine source code will
use the subdirectory <filename>wine/</filename> in this
directory, since the subdirectory is named after the CVS module
that we want to check out). We assume that your current directory
might be your user's home directory.
To download the Wine tree into the subdirectory <filename>wine/</filename>, run:
</para>
<screen>
<prompt>$ </><userinput> cvs -z3 checkout wine</>
</screen>
<para>
Downloading the CVS tree might take a while (some minutes
to few hours), depending on your connection speed.
Once the download is finished, you should keep a note of
which directory the newly downloaded
<filename>wine/</filename> directory is in, by running
<command>pwd</command> (Print Working Directory):
</para>
<screen>
<prompt>$ </><userinput>pwd</>
</screen>
<para>
Later, you will be able to change to this directory by
running:
</para>
<screen>
<prompt>$ </><userinput>cd <replaceable>&lt;some_dir&gt;</></>
</screen>
<para>
where &lt;some_dir&gt; is the directory that
<command>pwd</command> gave you.
By running
</para>
<screen>
<prompt>$ </><userinput>cd wine</>
</screen>
<para>
you can now change to the directory of the Wine CVS tree
you just downloaded. Since you now have a fully working Wine
source tree by having followed the steps above, you're now
well-prepared to go to the Wine installation and configuration
steps that follow.

<sect2 id="getting-updating-cvs">
<title>Updating the Wine CVS tree</title>
<para>
After a while, you might want to update your Wine CVS tree to
the current version.
Before updating the Wine tree, it might also be a good idea
to run <command>make uninstall</command> as root in order to
uninstall the installation of the previous Wine version.
</para>

update to a newer Wine release or to fix bugs and add
experimental features. Perhaps you've found a bug, reported
it to the <ulink url="mailto:wine-devel@winehq.org">Wine
mailing list</>, and received a patch file to fix the bug.
You can apply the patch with the <command>patch</> command,
which takes a streamed patch from <filename>stdin</>:
<screen>
<prompt>$ </><userinput>cd wine</>
<prompt>$ </><userinput>patch -p0 &lt;<replaceable>../patch_to_apply.diff</></>
</screen>
</para>
<para>
To remove the patch, use the <parameter>-R</> option:
<screen>
<prompt>$ </><userinput>patch -p0 -R &lt;<replaceable>../patch_to_apply.diff</></>
</screen>
</para>
<para>
If you want to do a test run to see if the patch will apply
successfully (e.g., if the patch was created from an older or
newer version of the tree), you can use the
<parameter>--dry-run</> parameter to run the patch
without writing to any files:
<screen>
<prompt>$ </><userinput>patch -p0 --dry-run &lt;<replaceable>../patch_to_apply.diff</></>
</screen>
</para>
<para>
<command>patch</> is pretty smart about extracting
patches from the middle of a file, so if you save an email with
an inlined patch to a file on your hard drive, you can invoke
patch on it without stripping out the email headers and other
text. <command>patch</> ignores everything that doesn't
look like a patch.
</para>
<para>
The <parameter>-p0</> option to <command>patch</>
tells it to keep the full file name from the patch file. For example,
if the file name in the patch file was
<filename>wine/programs/clock/main.c</>.
Setting the <parameter>-p0</> option would apply the patch
to the file of the same name i.e.
<filename>wine/programs/clock/main.c </>.
Setting the <parameter>-p1</> option would strip off the
first part of the file name and apply
the patch to <filename>programs/clock/main.c</>.
The <parameter>-p1</> option would be useful if you named your
top level wine directory differently than the person who sent
you the patch. For the <parameter>-p1</> option
<command>patch</> should be run from the top level wine
directory.
To uninstall Wine from source, once again navigate to the same
source folder that you used to install Wine using the terminal.
Then, run the following command:
<screen>
<prompt># </><userinput>make uninstall</>
</screen>
This command will require root privileges, and should remove all of
the Wine binary files from your system. It will not, however,
remove your Wine configuration and applications located in your
user's home directory, so you are free to install another version of
Wine or delete that configuration by hand.

<title>Installing or uninstalling Wine</title>
<para>
A standard Wine distribution form (which you probably downloaded
according to chapter <link linkend="getting-wine">Getting Wine</link>)
includes quite a few different programs, libraries
and configuration files. All of these
must be set up properly for Wine to work well. In order to
achieve this, this chapter will guide you through the necessary steps
to get the Wine files
installed on your system. It will <emphasis>not</emphasis>
deal with how to get Wine's Windows environment
<emphasis>configured</emphasis>; that's what the next chapter
will talk about.
</para>
<para>
When installing Wine, you should make sure that it doesn't happen
to overwrite a previous Wine installation (as this would cause
an overwhelming amount of annoying and fatal conflicts);
uninstalling any previous Wine version (as explained in this chapter)
to avoid this problem is recommended.
</para>
<sect1 id="installing-package">
<title>Installing or uninstalling Wine packages</title>
<para>
Now that you have downloaded the Debian or RPM or whatever Wine
package file, probably via the instructions given in the
previous chapter, you may be wondering "What in the world do I
do with this thing?".
This section will hopefully be able to put an end to your
bewildered questioning, by giving detailed install instructions
for all sorts of well-known package types.
</para>
<sect2>
<title>Debian Linux</title>
<para>
In case you haven't downloaded and automatically installed the
Wine package file via <command>apt-get</command> as described
in the <link linkend="getting-wine">Getting Wine</link>
section, you now need to use <command>dpkg</command> to
install it. Switch to the directory you downloaded the Debian
.deb package file to. Once there, type these commands,
adapting the package file name as required:
</para>
<screen>
<prompt>$ </><userinput>su -</>
Password:
<prompt># </><userinput>cd /home/user</>
<prompt># </><userinput>dpkg -i wine_<replaceable>0.0.20030115-1</>.deb</>
</screen>
<para>
(Type the root password at the "Password:" prompt)
</para>
<para>
You may also want to install the
<systemitem>wine-doc</systemitem> package, and if you are
using Wine from the 2.3 distribution (Woody), the
<systemitem>wine-utils</systemitem> package as well.
</para>
<para>
Uninstalling an installed Wine Debian package can be done by
running:
</para>
<screen>
<prompt># </><userinput>dpkg -l|grep wine</>
</screen>
<para>
The second column of the output (if any) of this command will
indicate the installed packages dealing with "wine".
The corresponding packages can be uninstalled by running:
</para>
<screen>
<prompt># </><userinput>dpkg -r <replaceable>&lt;package_name&gt;</></>
</screen>
<para>
where &lt;package_name&gt; is the name of the Wine-related package
which you want to uninstall.
</para>

<title>Linux Red Hat, Mandrake, SUSE and other distributions using RPM</title>
<para>
Most distributions provide a graphical tool for installing
RPM packages, you can use it by simply clicking (Or double clicking,
depending on your system settings) on the RPM. If you don't have a
graphical RPM manager installed, using a shell, switch to the
directory where you downloaded the RPM package file to.
Once there, type this one command as root, adapting the
package file name as required:
</para>
<screen>
<prompt># </><userinput>rpm -ivh wine-<replaceable>20031212.i386</>.rpm</>
</screen>
<para>
You may also want to install the
<systemitem>wine-devel</systemitem> package.
</para>
<para>
If you've installed wine graphically, you can uninstall it
using your graphical RPM manager (Gnorpm, Kpackage, Yast,
Mandrake Control Center and so on), alternatively, uninstalling
a installed Wine RPM package can be done from a shell, by running:
</para>
<screen>
<prompt># </><userinput>rpm -qa|grep -i wine</>
</screen>
<para>
This command will indicate the installed packages dealing with "wine".
The corresponding packages can be uninstalled by running:
</para>
<screen>
<prompt># </><userinput>rpm -e <replaceable>&lt;package_name&gt;</></>
</screen>
<para>
where &lt;package_name&gt; is the name of the Wine-related package
which you want to uninstall.

<title>Installing or uninstalling a Wine source code tree</title>
<para>
If you are in the directory of the Wine version that you just
compiled (e.g. by having run <command>make depend && make</command>), then you may now install this Wine version by running as <glossterm>root</glossterm>:
</para>
<screen>
<prompt># </><userinput>make install</>
</screen>
<para>
This will copy the Wine binary files to their final destination
in your system. You can then proceed to the <link
linkend="config-wine-main">Configuration chapter</link> to
configure the Wine environment.
</para>
<para>
If instead you want to uninstall the currently installed Wine
source code version, then change to the main directory of this
version and run as <glossterm>root</glossterm>:
