2.1. Requirements

• An x86 PC that can conforms to the Half-Life system requirements. Actually, maybe a bit better than what's on the box since WINE doesn't run quite as good as native windoze.
• A relatively recent Linux install
• XFree86 4.0.1 or later (XFree86 4.2.0 is recommended for DRI users).
• Half-Life
• A 3D accelerator card that supports OpenGL under Linux
• Your 3D card setup and working in XFree86
• You do NOT need any Windows partition or installation
• If you are experiencing sound problems, you may need to switch to OSS sound drivers for your sound card. For some cards, Alsa simply doesn't play nice with Wine.

2.2. 3D

2.2.1. General installation

This HOWTO does not cover installing and setting up your 3D card for Linux. This HOWTO assumes you have a working 3D card (you can run Quake3, Heretic2, Descent3, or whatever else in 3D accelerated mode). Here are some links:

• NVidia chipsets (TNT/TNT2/GeForce/GeForce2 etc): NVidia Linux Drivers
• For help in determining if your Nvidia card is properly configured, please use the nvcheck.sh script. A local copy is here.
• New 3DFX chipsets (Voodoo's 3, 4 & 5): DRI Project 3DFX glide drivers for XFree86 3.3.6: 3DFX and the Glide project
• Matrox GX00 / ATI Rage 128 / Intel i810/ 3dlabs Oxygen: DRI Project
• Mesa: The Mesa 3-D graphics library

2.2.2. NVidia users

NVidia cards are the best for getting this working. They have the best support under Linux, hence run the fastest and most stable in most situations. There are no special settings requred for NVidia users, just follow this HOWTO.

2.2.3. 3DFX users

Since the release of XFree86 4.0.2, the latest TDFX branch has been put into the DRI CVS - so it may be possible for 3DFX users to download and compile XFree86 and DRI from CVS - this is untested! It may be even better with the recent release of XFree86 4.0.3, but this is untested as well. If anyone tests this out and it works, let someone know. Otherwise, continue with the old method:

3DFX users seem to have it a bit tough, but it is still possible. I have been in contact with one very helpful person who has finally got CS working well with his 3DFX card (voodoo 3). You have two options, DRI (x4.0.1), but currently this seems ridiculously slow, so I'm not going to bother. The other options is Glide (x3.3.6). As I dont have a voodoo 3, I cant be sure what is here is correct, but here is what should work.

From email from Lars Munch < c948114@student.dtu.dk >

Here is what I did:
------
First remove all traces of glide and mesa.
 
Get the latest Device3Dfx driver from the cvs at
glide.sourceforge.net and install those. Requered if you
run kernel 2.4.x.
 
Get the Glide V3 source rpm from linux.3dfx.com. Rebuild and
install those, both the libraries the devel stuff.
 
Then get Mesa 3.4 from mesa3d.sourceforge.net. You will need
both MesaDemos and MesaLib. Compile it using 
 
# ./configure --without-svga --without-ggi --with-glide=/usr \
              --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc
 
And do 

# make; make install.
 
Now test it a lot, to make sure at actually works (testGlide3x,
quake etc..).
 
You can use export MESA_FX_INFO=1 to get some usefull
statistics.

Install the WickedGL drivers (miniGL from Wicked3D) and they
give a VERY good performance 30-70 fps at 640x480.

Then configure the wine sources with --enable-opengl option ,
and run halflife/counter-strike with:
 
# export MESA_GLX_FX=fullscreen
 
# wine -desktop hl.exe -- hl.exe -gl -gldrv Default -w 640 -full \
       -game cstrike -noipx -nojoy -numericping -console -toconsole

2.2.4. G400 users

I have finally been contacted by a user who is running LHL wonderfully with his G400. There are a few steps to take, it seems easier than the 3DFX users. Note: you will probably need a fairly fast CPU (500+ anyone?).

Now that XFree86 4.0.2 (XFree86 4.2.0, actually) is out, all that you must do is install that.. it will NOT work with the normal X4.0.1 release, you MUST use XFree86 4.0.2. You will also probably get some flickering, to fix this look down in the troubleshooting section, there is a fix there. For the best performance, you will probably want to upgrade to 4.2.0.

2.2.5. Other DRI users

ATI Radeon should work with newer versions of X. Other than that, I havent heard from any other DRI users yet, but please let me know how you go. Try and get the latest XFree86 DRI from CVS as described in the G400 section, let me know.

      # rpm -qa |grep WINE
      # rpm -qa |grep wine
      # rpm -e "whatever showed up above"

In a Debian based system do this:

# apt-get remove wine

If you have previously compiled and installed WINE from source, go into the source directory and:

      # make uninstall

1. Now, download WINE. With Transgaming now working on it, I recommend getting their version (winex). I will assume that you downloaded wine into /usr/src, so your wine source will be in /usr/src/wine. For more information on this process, please see the winex Sourceforge project site.

   To use CVS, try this:

           # export CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@cvs.winex.sf.net:/cvsroot/winex
   	# cvs login
   	*** There is no password (leave it empty) ***
   	# cvs -z3 co wine

   Please note this is a rather large CVS checkout. It may take a while for modem users. Also, there are some binaries of WINE compiled with OpenGL support. These are untested as far as I know, so don't complain if they don't work.

2. Get the development packages for OpenGL for your distro. For Debian, this is xlibmesa-dev. Other distros should have similar packages. You are also going to need a file called glext.h. Let's see if you have it:
   

           # updatedb
   	# locate glext.h

   If your system doesnt already have glext.h, then you will need to get it before compiling WINE. I have made a copy available here, download it and put it in "/usr/X11R6/include/GL/". WINE will not compile with OpenGL support without this file.

3. Now to compile, first configure wine. Go into /usr/src/wine and:
   

   	 # ./configure --enable-opengl

   Wine will configure itself. Check the screen output to make sure OpenGL was properly detected. Mine looks like this:

   	 checking GL/gl.h usability... yes
   	 checking GL/gl.h presence... yes
   	 checking for GL/gl.h... yes
   	 checking GL/glx.h usability... yes
   	 checking GL/glx.h presence... yes
   	 checking for GL/glx.h... yes
   	 checking for GL/glext.h... yes
   	 checking for up-to-date OpenGL version... yes
   	 checking for thread-safe OpenGL version... yes
   	 checking for glXCreateContext in -lGL... yes
   	 checking for glXGetProcAddressARB in -lGL... yes
   	 checking for OpenGL extension functions prototypes... no
   	 checking for gluLookAt in -lGLU... yes

   If everything appears to be good, check include/config.h for "#define HAVE_OPENGL 1". If this line is commented out, or not in the file, OpenGL support will not build. Don't even bother compiling Wine yet; first fix your OpenGL problem. Only when include/config.h contains that line should you move on to the next step.

4. With Wine configured (and OpenGL support enabled), it's time to compile. From /usr/src/wine:
   

   	 # make depend
   	 # make

   Wine will compile so go take a nap or whatever. If you are really bored you can read some funny IRC quotes here. Once done, it should say "Wine build complete." and we can install it with:

   	 # make install

   Wine is now compiled and installed on your system.

5. Time to configure wine.conf. Open up wine.conf in your faviourate editor. A sample file can be found at '/usr/src/wine/documentation/samples/config'. Your standard C drive should probably be set to /usr/local/wine, check thats the case in wine.conf. You will also want a drive that points to your CD-ROM mount point to install Half-Life. Now go down to the [x11drv] section, ensure that double-buffering is ON. useDGA may be either on or off as DGA now works in XFree86. Some people have reported to have problems with this, try fiddling around with useDGA and double-buffering (set them to off) if something doesnt work. Once the config file works fine, go to your home directory (as the user you will be running LHL as) and:
   

           # mkdir ~/.wine/
   	# cp /usr/src/wine/documentation/samples/config ~/.wine/config

WINE should now be installed and configured.

Put the HL cd into your cdrom, then:

     # mount /xxx (your cdrom's mount point)
     # cd /xxx
     # wine SETUP.EXE

Follow through the installation, it should install perfectly. At the end if the installer hangs (which it often does), go back to your main console with "CTRL+ALT+F1", login as root and type:

     # killall -9 wine
     # ps -ax

to make sure no WINE clients/servers are running any more. If any are running, kill them off individually.

Do the same procedure for each patch you load (HL, CS etc).. Although you must remember you can only run a .exe from a path that exists in wine.conf!

$ wine hl.exe -- hl.exe -console

(please note, when you get it working, dont run it like this.. run it from my script found in the section "missing gamespy?") You will see the menu's SLOWLY generate infront of you. Once there finished, click "Configuration" -> "Video" -> "Video Modes". Set it to OpenGL, whatever res you play in and the default driver. Click ok. It may freeze when you click OK, but that shouldnt matter (it didn't for me) - just go back to a console with "CTRL+ALT+F1" and `killall -9 wine`. Make sure the res you chose is one that you have configured in your "XF86Config" ("XF86Config-4" for Debian) file (X Windows configuration).

Configure your keys now. The internal key-binder now works, so you should have not problems. You can always manually edit "config.cfg" if needs be.

$ wine hl.exe -- hl.exe -console -game cstrike

The above is for CS, but replace the 'cstrike' with the mod of your choice.
