Now more versions of Wine?
by ArtKautz from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4S1WN)
I would like to install Wine and run a few simple Windows programs. Once upon a time I had it installed. Somewhere along the line, probably during a version upgrade, it vanished. Now when I use the Linux Mint 19.1 Software Manger, there is a rather confusing number of versions of Wine. I tried a few and nothing shows up on the Menu.
I tried running it from the command line and got:
art@art-Inspiron-5570:~$ sudo wine
[sudo] password for art:
it looks like wine32-development is missing, you should install it.
as root, please execute "apt-get install wine32-development"
Usage: wine PROGRAM [ARGUMENTS...] Run the specified program
wine --help Display this help and exit
wine --version Output version information and exit
art@art-Inspiron-5570:~$ sudo apt-get install wine32-development
Reading package lists... Done
And a bunch of lines later, and another attempt at running it got:
art@art-Inspiron-5570:~$ wine
Usage: wine PROGRAM [ARGUMENTS...] Run the specified program
wine --help Display this help and exit
wine --version Output version information and exit
art@art-Inspiron-5570:~$ wine --version
wine-3.6 (Ubuntu 3.6-1)
art@art-Inspiron-5570:~$ wine-3.6
wine-3.6: command not found
Okay, what we are dealing with here:
This is a Dell laptop Inspiron.
Intel Core i5 processsor (8th generation)
Running Linux Mint 19.1 with all of the updates.
Wee, that didn't work so well. Any ideas?
