Winex
I realize this is way off topic...
I'm running a Gentoo 1.4_rc1 system and I want to try getting EQ up & running from a purely Linux system (no Windows partitions). Below is how I envision getting Winex setup and optimized on my system. Do you guys/gals think this is a workable setup.
1. Sign up on Transgaming and download the binary tgz distribution (or the rpm file and use rpm2tgz). Unarchive the file in / and test winex to make sure it's working.
2. Download the winex-cvs version -- or in my case, unmask winex-cvs and emerge it, but dont let it compile.
3. Export the CFLAGS environment variable before compiling such that I can get the optimizations that I desire (e.g. -march=athlon-xp -O3 -any_other_optimizations_you_like).
4. Compile it:
./configure
make dep
make
make install
5. Configure the winex config files and test away.
Is there any issues with installing winex-cvs over the binary winex distro from Transgaming? Have any of you tried this approach with success? I'm also quite hazy on step 5, but I hope to nail that down by reading more on Transgaming and other boards.
