HowTo / Notes

HOWTO

2013-05-03 Admin note: the instructions below are very old and may not apply to current Wine. They are being kept here for the benefit of anyone who may wish to test and/or update them. 

Do not use Wine 0.9.30 or 0.9.31, as these do not display the game cursor properly. Newer and earlier versions should be fine.

To get the game working, you must do the following (reported by Damjan Jovanovic)

  • Apply this patch to Wine 0.9.29 or earlier, or disable sound completely in Wine
  • Add an override so that 'HEROES.EXE' runs in Windows 98 mode (can be done in winecfg)
How to apply the patch
  • Change to the directory where you saved the Wine archive and patch
  • Extract Wine with tar -xvjf wine-0.9.29.tar.bz2
  • Enter the Wine directory with cd wine-0.9.29
  • Apply the patch, patch -p1 < ../wineoss-0.9.29.patch
  • Substitute with the path where you want to install Wine. ./configure --prefix=$HOME/wineh1
  • Compile with make depend && make
  • Install with make install
  • Now change to the directory where you installed Heroes and type ~/wineh1 heroes
