I was finally able to test this on gentoo and it worked without a single tweak. I first installed a wine-1.3.36 with the following use flags: jmd0 ~ # equery uses wine-1.3.36 [ Legend : U - final flag setting for installation] [ : I - package is installed with flag ] [ Colors : set, unset ] * Found these USE flags for app-emulation/wine-1.3.36: U I + + X : Adds support for X11 + + alsa : Adds support for media-libs/alsa-lib (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) - - capi : Enable ISDN support via CAPI + + cups : Add support for CUPS (Common Unix Printing System) + + custom-cflags : Bypass strip-flags; use are your own peril + + fontconfig : Support for configuring and customizing font access via media-libs/fontconfig + + gecko : Add support for the Gecko engine when using iexplore + + gnutls : Adds support for net-libs/gnutls (TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0 support) + + gphoto2 : Adds digital camera support - - gsm : Adds support for the gsm lossy speech compression codec - - hardened : activate default security enhancements for toolchain (gcc, glibc, binutils) + + jpeg : Adds JPEG image support + + lcms : Adds lcms support (color management engine) + + ldap : Adds LDAP support (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) + + mp3 : Add support for reading mp3 files + + ncurses : Adds ncurses support (console display library) + + nls : Adds Native Language Support (using gettext - GNU locale utilities) - - openal : Adds support for the Open Audio Library - - opencl : Enable OpenCL support + + opengl : Adds support for OpenGL (3D graphics) + + oss : Adds support for OSS (Open Sound System) + + perl : Install helpers written in perl (winedump/winemaker) + + png : Adds support for libpng (PNG images) + + samba : Add support for NTLM auth. see http://wiki.winehq.org/NtlmAuthSetupGuide and http://wiki.winehq.org/NtlmSigningAndSealing - - scanner : Adds support for scanner hardware (e.g. build the sane frontend in kdegraphics) + + ssl : Adds support for Secure Socket Layer connections - - test : Workaround to pull in packages needed to run with FEATURES=test. Portage-2.1.2 handles this internally, so don't set it in make.conf/package.use anymore + + threads : Adds threads support for various packages. Usually pthreads + + truetype : Adds support for FreeType and/or FreeType2 fonts - - udisks : Support dynamic storage devices using sys-fs/udisks + + v4l : Enable support for video4linux (using linux-headers or userspace libv4l libraries) + + win32 : Build a 32bit version of Wine (won't run Win64 binaries) - - win64 : Build a 64bit version of Wine (won't run Win32 binaries) - - xcomposite : Enable support for the Xorg composite extension - - xinerama : Add support for the xinerama X11 extension, which is mandatory if you work in multiple monitors setup + + xml : Add support for XML files Then I created a new user so I know I will be starting off with a totally clean slate and I would not have to create a new WINEPREFIX on my default user. I did this with the useradd command from the shell In the process I assigned the user to the following groups: gamestest@jmd0 ~ $ groups disk wheel uucp cron audio cdrom video games cdrw usb users portage crontab vboxusers kvm vmware developers gamestest I am not sure which of these were necessary but that is what my default user had.. after this I used the kde-4.7.4 Switch User Leave option to switch to a new x11 session as the new user. After that the first thing I did was to open a konsole window and type winecfg gamestest@jmd0 /auto/home/gamestest $ winecfg wine: created the configuration directory '/home/gamestest/.wine' fixme:storage:create_storagefile Storage share mode not implemented. err:mscoree:LoadLibraryShim error reading registry key for installroot err:mscoree:LoadLibraryShim error reading registry key for installroot err:mscoree:LoadLibraryShim error reading registry key for installroot err:mscoree:LoadLibraryShim error reading registry key for installroot err:mscoree:LoadLibraryShim error reading registry key for installroot err:mscoree:LoadLibraryShim error reading registry key for installroot fixme:iphlpapi:NotifyAddrChange (Handle 0xfce8fc, overlapped 0xfce8e0): stub wine: configuration in '/home/gamestest/.wine' has been updated. gamestest@jmd0 /auto/home/gamestest $ cd .wine/ gamestest@jmd0 /auto/home/gamestest/.wine $ ls dosdevices drive_c system.reg user.reg userdef.reg Then in winecfg I used the advanced tab to create a drive y: and connected that to /mnt/cdrom gamestest@jmd0 /auto/home/gamestest/.wine $ cd dosdevices/ gamestest@jmd0 /auto/home/gamestest/.wine/dosdevices $ ls c: y: z: gamestest@jmd0 /auto/home/gamestest/.wine/dosdevices $ ls -al total 8 drwxr-xr-x 2 gamestest gamestest 4096 Dec 31 13:45 . drwxr-xr-x 4 gamestest gamestest 4096 Dec 31 13:45 .. lrwxrwxrwx 1 gamestest gamestest 10 Dec 31 13:44 c: -> ../drive_c lrwxrwxrwx 1 gamestest gamestest 10 Dec 31 13:45 y: -> /mnt/cdrom lrwxrwxrwx 1 gamestest gamestest 1 Dec 31 13:44 z: -> / After this I created a y:: link for the cdrom drive. gamestest@jmd0 /auto/home/gamestest/.wine/dosdevices $ ln -s /dev/cdrom y:: amestest@jmd0 /auto/home/gamestest/.wine/dosdevices $ ls c: y: y:: z: Then I installed WC3 ROC using the following command: gamestest@jmd0 /auto/home/gamestest/.wine/dosdevices $ wine y:install fixme:alsa:AudioClient_GetMixFormat Don't know what to do with 10000 channels, pretending there's only 2 channels fixme:alsa:AudioClient_GetMixFormat Don't know what to do with 10000 channels, pretending there's only 2 channels fixme:alsa:AudioClient_GetMixFormat Don't know what to do with 10000 channels, pretending there's only 2 channels fixme:alsa:AudioClient_GetMixFormat Don't know what to do with 10000 channels, pretending there's only 2 channels fixme:alsa:AudioClient_GetMixFormat Don't know what to do with 10000 channels, pretending there's only 2 channels fixme:alsa:AudioClient_GetMixFormat Don't know what to do with 10000 channels, pretending there's only 2 channels fixme:alsa:AudioClient_GetMixFormat Don't know what to do with 10000 channels, pretending there's only 2 channels gamestest@jmd0 /auto/home/gamestest/.wine/dosdevices $ After the Install I clicked play. And then went strait into battle.net and it asked me if I wanted to update. I said yes and the update downloaded and worked. Then I added a user and played the first tutorial campaign and this like all other steps worked without any issue. John
