Missing deps in ClearLinux Package

[Aqua1ung]

Here's what I get after attempting to install DirectX v9/v10/v11 on my Windows 11 (64-bit) Wine machine:

And here's what the Configure screen looks like afterward:

I am not sure at this point if DirectX has been installed or not. Interestingly, it looks like DirectX v12 installs just fine--at least WineGUI doesn't seem to complain.

Here's the log after attempting to install DirectX v11:

Try installing cabextract under Linux.

Also tell me the distro you're using and how you installed winegui.

Try installing cabextract under Linux.

Done. DirectX doesn't complain anymore, thanks!

Also tell me the distro you're using and how you installed winegui.

ClearLinux. There's a native ClearLinux package for WineGUI.

Do you know of a surefire way to make sure that DirectX 11 has been installed and it works properly?

[melroy89]

ClearLinux. There's a native ClearLinux package for WineGUI

Well apparently not installing my recommended dependencies like cabextract., 😭

Maybe download and run a simple diagnostic app or a demo app like https://github.com/guitarfreak/DirectX-11-Demo?

[melroy89]

I also can't find WineGUI in their repos? https://github.com/clearlinux-pkgs

Where can I find the package under ClearLinux? I wan to fix those missing dependencies in autospec.

[Aqua1ung]

Apologies, it looks like @fenrus75 hasn't yet gotten around to porting this one. Let's hope he sees his way clearly this time around ...

[melroy89]

For now I closed this specific issue, I think your issue is now fixed by installing cabextract manually. And once there is an official package for ClearLinux, we can validate and check those changes there.
