Installing Neverwinter for Windows on OpenSUSE 11.4: A Step-by-Step Guide

As a gamer, you might have encountered the issue of playing certain games that are exclusive to Windows on your Linux-based system, such as OpenSUSE 11.4. One popular game that requires Wine to run is Neverwinter, a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG). In this guide, we will walk you through the process of installing Neverwinter for Windows on OpenSUSE 11.4.

To begin with, you need to download the latest source code of Wine using Wget and tar options:

wget http://source.winehq.org/wine-.tar.gz

tar xvfj wine-.tar.gz

Once downloaded, create a new directory for Wine by running the following command:

sudo mkdir wine

Next, you need to install the build dependencies required to compile Wine from source. OpenSUSE 11.4 uses zypper instead of apt-get, so run the following command:

sudo zypper install build-dep wine1.2

After installing the dependencies, change your directory to 'Documents' (or any other directory that you have write permissions) to avoid potential permission issues.

Now, let's navigate to the terminal and follow the instructions:

cd Documents

tar xvfj wine-.tar.gz

Now that we have extracted the source code, it's time to compile Wine from source. Run the following command:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/wine

make

sudo make install

Once compiled, you need to apply a special patch for League of Legends (which is known to have issues with Wine) by running the following commands:

wget http://patch.com/league-of-legends-patch-.tar.gz

tar xvfj league-of-legends-patch-.tar.gz

After applying the patch, you can now run Neverwinter using Wine. Start by installing Wine if it's not already installed on your system:

sudo zypper install wine

Once installed, navigate to the game directory and run the following command:

wine neverwinter.exe

With these steps, you should be able to successfully install and play Neverwinter for Windows on OpenSUSE 11.4 using Wine.

As an added tip, if you encounter any issues or errors during the installation process, try running the commands again as root (using 'sudo') or check for any updates to your system packages before proceeding further.
