Summary: Unable to use ./tool/wineinstall under Ubuntu because of the use of sudo Product: Wine Version: 0.9.24. Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: minor Priority: P2 Component: wine-setupapi AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: jeg@france-online.org
Under Ubuntu (6.10 Edgy Eft in my case) usong ./tool/wineinstall is impossible : the script can't run make install and the few other commands after because of the need of the root password. Ubuntu uses sudo, so no root password can be entered. Maybe a recognition or a parameter to the script to select another method using sudo should make this script available to ubuntu users.
