[SOLVED] Steam on Wine not working

[jmslew]

All I can say is:
1) It works for me ( but I don't have 64 bit on this system)
2) There may be some inherent incompatibilities with Lenny (assuming that's what you're compiling on). They're probably fixable (if that's what it is) but I don't currently have the resources to try and track down what's happening.

You may have better results by following the instructions at the link:
"For further assistance write to debian@carbon-project.org"

Otherwise I still strongly recommend an upgrade to squeeze.

I am on sid/amd64. I am guessing it is most likely due to the 64-bit arch...I already tried the sid 64-bit instructions from the wine wiki, but that didn't work either. Not sure what I am going to do about this, but thanks for your suggestions.

Try building a normal version of Wine(ie, no --enable-win64) and see if that helps.

I am trying this now, and now that I think about it, I was in the wrong folder when trying to run

Code: Select all

./configure

last time and I saw the

Code: Select all

./configure --enable-win64

option before I figured out that I was in the wrong directory last time...I am trying over again, without the --enable-win64 flag/option/whatever-the-technical-term-is. It's compiling now.

Well, your suggestion *appeared* to work. It got me to my account page where I could see all of my games, etc. Then the news page popped up and it all came crashing down again...I think this may have something to do with gecko, but I think I have that installed.

After rebooting, the problem is apparently fixed...it will crash form time to time, but this is the latest and unstable version of wine, so I am chalking that up as something I can't do anything about right now. Thanks for the help.
