You need to install it the Gentoo way so that all dependencies are installed correctly as well. Try copying the rpm file into /usr/portage/distfiles and then run the following command:

emerge win4lin

Actually, that probably won't work as 5.1.1 is the newest version listed in portage.

See http://packages.gentoo.org/search/?sstring=win4lin for details.

Doh! Just found that one myself. However, this one https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=83509 seems to say that you need a patched kernel in order to use it... Does anyone know which is correct so that we don't give bad advice to George_Y?

Also, George_Y, you will need to read up on how to setup a portage overlay and just portage in general, to be able to use the ebuild in the bug that radfoj linked to. See http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/index.xml for a bunch of good documentation.

yabbadabbadont, George_Y is speaking about win4lin PRO, so its version 6* ... and theres no need any patched kernel for this release.

Don't be sorry when you are correcting misinformation. (unintentional I assure you) Thanks for the information. He still needs to read up on portage though.

I've heard good things about Win4lin in the past, do you know how it stacks up against vmware?

Sorry once more, I revisited my post at the same time you answered :D . It wasnt nice from me what I wrote earlier. Really.

Maybe ... and he should start here
Also ebuild in portage is for version 6.2.8 and George have 6.2.7 ... so he have to download newer rpm or rename the ebuild to 6.2.7

So,
I used https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=88325
and copied Win4LinPro-6.0.0-09.ebuild and then renamed Win4LinPro-6.0.0-09.ebuild to win4lin-pro-6.2.7.ebuild.
I changed one line in win4lin-pro-6.2.7.ebuild : MY_P=Win4LinPro-6.2.7-02.i386 (accordance with my version)

#./win4lin-pro-6.2.7.ebuild
./win4lin-pro-6.2.7.ebuild: line 5: inherit: command not found

Where is my mistake ?

Your mistake is that you didn't read the documentation on portage and configuring a portage overlay as suggested. Do so, as the documentation provides the answer to your question.

Yes You are right. But I used '--nodeps' already.
My winpro starts with winxp excellent :!:

But I have one question.
My local Area Connection shows 100.0 MB/s under original WinXP.
WinXP Local Area Connection under winpro shows 10.0 MB/s.
Is it standart situation ?

that doesn't seem normal. could possibly be a slight performance hit, but that is substantial.

yes I have one problem:



modprobe eepro100
/lib/modules/2.4.20-gentoo-r6/kernel/drivers/net/eepro100.o: init_module: No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters,
including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
...


I will istall eepro100 and then I will rpm -e Win4LinPro and install Win4LinPro .

Hello, i am trying to get my ebuild working for Win4LinPro-6.3.0-07.i386 but am getting an error:

Code:
