i finally made warcraft III working :
- rename the Movies folder as Jesse Allen did.
- get winex from cvs, then patch srcs with
http://www.winehq.com/hypermail/wine-patches/2002/06/0041.html 3. configure wine using ./configure --enable-opengl ..., then build it. 4. run warcraft using : wine /path/War3.exe ( the -opengl doesn't work for me) 5. enjoy !
I followed your procedures, X crashed when I started to run it. It said ".... deadlock ..." Any idea? Thanks.
Hi,
I don't know what's going on with the current WineX, I can't get it to work. I got an old version that I used with the beta back in March to work. Getting the latest WineX to work seems to be much harder than Wine.
Try my How To under "Warcraft III" in the application db found at http://appdb.codeweavers.com except remember this before running install.exe: copy a native msvcrt.dll into your wine installation. Example destination location: ~/c/windows/system If you don't copy that in install.exe will fail like people have been complaining about giving this error message: fixme:msvcrt:__CxxFrameHandler (0x40481e98,0x405959b0,0x40481b20,0x040481ab0):stub?...(repeated)
Luckily, people seem to be trying to fix this kind of problem for wine so in the future, you won't need this native dll.
I can't believe I missed this part. I thought it wasn't needed because I cleaned out my wine install setting up War3 retail to find out the exact steps. I copied this dll to my home directory thinking it was outside the windows/system path, and would purposely not load... come to find today... I see this F:/msvcrt.dll in some logs!!! doh it was loading it all along. I tried running install.exe without, and discovered what people been talking about.
I hope people can get running now, because wine War3 does work very well. =)
