When I run any Microsoft Office program under wine I receive the following error: ERROR: You need to merge the 'winedefault.reg' file into your Wine registry by running: `regedit winedefault.reg' I did some research and found that it should be under the following directory: /usr/lib/wine/.data So I re-emerged wine and it did not show up. So I unmerged wine, deleted all reference directories, and emerged once again. It still was not there. So I looked through the last emerge and found these following lines: install: cannot stat `/var/tmp/portage/wine-20040309/work/wine-20040309/winedefault.reg': No such file or directory install: cannot stat `documentation/samples/system.ini': No such file or directory install: cannot stat `documentation/samples/generic.ppd': No such file or directory So, it appears to be more than one file missing. Also, I tried a re-emerge one more time. This time looking for all of the file in the emerge temp directory during the emerge. It was not to be found. So this leaves me to the conclusion they are missing from the actual downloaded tar files. Anyway, if you need more information, just let me know. Will
found one /var/tmp/portage/wine-20040309/work/wine-20040309/dlls/wineps/generic.ppd but the others are not in tarball any more
According to Changelog. * documentation/samples/system.ini: No longer needed. * dlls/wineps/Makefile.in, dlls/wineps/generic.ppd, documentation/samples/generic.ppd: Moved generic.ppd to dlls/wineps, and install it in datadir. * tools/wineinstall, winedefault.reg: Use the new .inf script instead of winedefault.reg. Removed some obsolete code. So I think, the wine wrapper in wine-20040309-misc.tar.bz2 must be edited.
Same error message about windefaults.reg here, with wine 200404
fixed with 200404-r1
