What happened to the Fedora packages? They have not been updated since 0.9.2!!!! Right now it is at 0.9.10!!! Nearly every other Linux distro supported has the up to date packages!!! And why does the Red Hat packages site not go to the SourceForge site as it does for SUSE packages and the others?? I have not really had the guts to ask until now, because I thought that maybe there was a slump, but now, its getting annoying!! And Fedora just released Fedora Core 5 yesterday!!! Please tell me new packages will be ready soon!!! Compiling WINE always crashes my computer, so I prefer to use the RPMs...

Nice and decent Fedora Wine packages are in Fedora Extras:
http://fedoraproject.org/extras/4/i386/repodata/repoview/W.group.html
http://fedoraproject.org/extras/5/i386/repodata/repoview/W.group.html
And even a "yum install wine" should do it (as root of course :-)).

If compiling Wine crashes your computer!!! then something is wrong!!! with your computer!!! You should really find out what!!! and fix it!!! Otherwise you are likely to get problems running Wine!!!
Exclamation marks aside this is a good question. Is help needed to generate the RedHat packages? I'm not voluntering myself since I don't use Fedora<g>.

Is your computer also a Pentium 166MHz with 32MB of RAM? ...
No, wait, even THAT can compile wine. Wine wasn't rated for 16MB systems, sorry. </sarcasam>
Or in English: You need more RAM. When you run out of RAM, almost all UNIXes and clones have a kernel panic. Linux does either that, or it starts randomly killing off proccesses (your window manager, X, init, and so on) depending on it config at compile time. Please make sure you have enough swap, you have plenty of RAM (512MB or more), all of your toolkit conponets (gcc, binutils, etc.) are up to date, and that you don't have faulty hardware.

It's a bug in Wine, which I harassed AJ about a long time ago but it was never fixed I guess because he has a super-awesome machine :)
Basically, compiling winetest causes gas to blow gigs of memory, because it's compiling like 50mb+ of assembly. I just hacked it out of the build system myself.
There's nothing wrong with my machine except it being old ...
Well, the system is a Pentium 4 2.8GHz HyperThreading with 512MB RAM, so that is not the problem! It just always fails....

Did you install the -devel packages for all of the dependecies? They contain the headers nessessrary for complimation. Also you need gcc/binutils.
or you can try a slackware package, just untar the entire thing to / and delete /install afterwards

We just compiled the latest wine rpm for our upcoming MultiMedia Edition....no problems at all...We made only minor adjustments, to reflect the fact, that it's a StartCom build and not Fedora....
The files can be used of course by any compatible OS:
http://ftp.belnet.be/linux/startcom/ML-5.0.5/os/i386/StartCom/RPMS/wine*.rpm
Cheers!

The problem was actually with gcc, and it's been fixed for a while now.

Ah awesome, I'll re-enable winetest then, thanks.

Maybe you can send us the error message and then we can help you.

P.S.: wine-0.9.10.i386 made it to the x86_64 tree so x86_64 users of Fedora Extras can get wine.i386 now by typing yum install wine as well...
I just decided to use the yum packages suggested earlier... and yes, it fails, then crashes! anyway, thanks!

Well, decent in the sense that the packages are well-made, or alternatively: you've done a great job ! :-)

You'd better figure out why compilation crashes your computer. It might be a hardware or kernel problem. Anyway, you first have to get such compilations to run stably, only then try actually running wine. Software builds are good system stress tests (or turn out to be).

You might be speaking chinese as well. Care to post actual messages? Being vague when asking for help is rude.

Maybe you should put on the Fedora RPM package site a large noticable notice that says that for Fedora Core 3, 4, and 5, simply using terminal, sudo into root, and then do "yum install wine" to get the latest WINE packages. Also, note that Fedora Core 3 has to manually be configured for Fedora Extras. This way, people will know that it is in Fedora Extras now, and people like me won't miss it :)

As you know that the mobile phone signal jammer can cut off the signals of the mobile phones and soon make it impossible to make phone calls or send messages. In this way when you need the peaceful condition and want to stay in it, you can just use the best mobile phone jammer to help you achieve your goal. And now as the technology develops with high speed the advanced 4G jammer has come into the market and are well welcomed by the group of people who need the us cellular signal booster product.
