--- Comment #10 from Todd Chester ToddAndMargo@zoho.com --- (In reply to Dmitry Timoshkov from comment #8)
Hi Guys,
Me again.
Created these two Red Hat bug reports to help with your *bogus* error messages:
libxslt/libXrender is missing dependency on libXxert https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1162848
libpng RPM missing dependency on zlib https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1162842
IMHO ordinal/not experienced users should not waste their and others people time trying to build wine/kernel/any other non-trivial thing/,
I do have to disagree. ./configure make make install are and have been "trivial" in the UNIX/Linux world for years and years. It is only "non-trivial" when the config file *IS A MESS* and the authors consider fixing it to be INVALID.
Now as far as your "ordinal" comment: in comment 1, Sebastian stated:
"libXrender: You are missing libXrender-devel."
Sebastian is really good at this stuff and he got totally schnockered. So your bogus error even schnockered the "experts".
Now, you could always reverse the lines in the the config file so that you check for these dependencies first, giving decent error reporting. Probably take you less time than telling me this is an invalid request.
there are binary packages for them to install/use.
In an ideal world yes. Unfortunately, I have to live in the Enterprise Linux world. Things are purposefully out-of-date.
EL6: the latest AND LAST supported edition (by EPEL [extra packages for Enterprise Linux]) of Wine is 1.6.1. It will NEVER be upgraded. 1.6.1 is full of bugs, many of which haunt me. And many have been fixed in 1.7.x but I can't test my bug reports to verify this as I am stuck on 1.6.1
EL7: is 64 bit only and will not run 32 bit Wine. This effective kills Wine on EL7.
So, no, usable "binary packages" do not always exit.
The Enterprise Linux crowd (me included) will need to compile Wine by hand more and more at time goes on.
I am personally compiling 1.7.30 because I am tired of living with the bugs in 1.6.1's RPM. And I can not respond back to the bugs I have reported on it when ask to do so.
Just a comment, if you do the following google search:
https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=configure:+WARNING:+libxslt+3%2Fusr%2Fl...
You will find that your bogus error effect a lot more people than me. Some never figure them out. And from your comments here, I do not believe you even care what trouble it causes other people.
And I suspect, since 1.7.30 will compile under EL 6.5, that EPEL won't upgrade because they find trudging through all the *bogus* errors to be too much of a pain in their necks.
I won't bother reopening this. In the time it would take you all to tell me fixing these *bugus* errors is invalid, you could have reversed the lines in the config file so that the dependencies are checked for first, giving a VALID error message.
Jee Wiz guys!
