I can't get Wine to start applications - error 998 instead #24

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Followed build instructions - finished without errors
2. Opened Terminal and run the two 'export" commands exactly as described in 
code.google.com/p/osxwinebuilder/#Running_Wine
3. Executed "which wine" - correct response received i.e. 
"/Users/Brooke/wine/wine-1.3.24/bin/wine"
4. Executed "wine winecfg

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Should have got the winecfg app.  Instead got an error message as follows:

   Application tried to create a window, but no driver could be loaded.
   Unknown error (998).
   err:systray:initialize_systray Could not create tray window
   Application tried to create a window, but no driver could be loaded.
   Unknown error (998).

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Using OS X 10.6.8. Wine build 1.3.24.

Please provide any additional information below.
I'm at a loss.  Main problem is I don't understand the command line.  So, was I 
wrong to copy the "export" commands as is into my terminal ?  Was I supposed to 
substitute something such as the path to my Home directory ?

Sorry for the bother but this is really bugging me.  After going through all 
the build process I hope I can get it working.

Many thanks.

Are you using Xquartz or the OS X-provided X11.app? -r

Good point.  I was running both.  So, I deleted XQuartz and tried again.  Now 
I'm getting a timeout because the binaries (e.g. winecfg) can't be found.  I've 
attached a screenshot of the Terminal session.

Please note, this is not really a bug report.  I just can't figure out how to 
get the thing working.

Many thanks for your patience.

P.S. Should I try MacPorts or just give up and stick with a package maker like 
Wineskin ?

Well, many thanks for the tip on X11 and XQuartz.  I was using XQuartz.  I 
tried to delete it so as to use X11 but all I got a continual crashes.  So, I 
reinstalled Xquartz (twice) and now Wine is working.

Cheers.
