[edit] From Source

Instructions for compiling from source are found on WineHQ. (For experienced users.)

[edit] Pre-compiled versions

Pre-compiled versions for Mandriva are available on the offical wine site http://www.winehq.org/site/download .[as of Feb 09]. This is different from the version of wine available from the Mandriva backports. Recently winetricks has been included as part of the package as explained by Marco: Marco posted: [Wintricks is ]active for the next version 1.1.16 [As of Feb/Mar 09 Winetricks is now in the Wine menu]. Marco only put it in de 2008.0 , 2008.1 en, 2009.0 version en, [but] not the 2006 en 2007 versions because it gets harder to download dependencies for [the] versions [..that] are not longer supported by mandriva.

As of Jun 09 the precompiled 2006 version has been ended. Thanks to Marco for providing it for so long and also for continuing to provide at least 6 other versions for Mandriva users.


Uninstall any existing versions wine, and download the new rpm and install it as an administrator using

rpm -i <package-name>

Marcus Meissner makes full wine releases and daily snapshots available at http://software.opensuse.org/download/Emulators:/Wine/

[edit] Using URPMI

Official Mandriva rpm versions are available in main release and backports repository since Mandriva 2007.0. The advantage of this is they also include winetricks and it's needed dependencies.

  • Mandriva 2005 and 2006

Use precompiled rpms for Mandriva 2006 instead.


  • Mandrive 2007.0 and later

Add official Mandriva urpmi media and enable main release and backports. Install wine with urpmi command or rpmdrake.

You can also use the precompiled rpms from winehq.org.

[edit] Troubleshooting Wine and Mandriva

  • For Mandriva LE2005 and 2006, you need to upgrade your Mesa rpms from http://www.mde.djura.org for OpenGL support of wine.
