Hi all,

How can I install wine in SLES 11 SP2 ? For some reason I am not allowed to upgrade this old server cause is running some old application which will not work if I upgrade, but I need to install wine for other purpose.  
Is there any chance for me to achieve this?

Thanks a lot

I found this, totally unsupported and may not even work and could potetially break your system but: [https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/rom-ale:/Wine/SLE\_11\_SP2/x86\_64/wine-1.7.51-495.1.x86\_64.rpm](https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/rom-ale:/Wine/SLE_11_SP2/x86_64/wine-1.7.51-495.1.x86_64.rpm) from here: [https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home%3Arom-ale%3AWine/wine](https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home%3Arom-ale%3AWine/wine)

For what it is worth I have a SLES 11 SP2 x86\_64 DVD ISO and, mounting it,  
I noticed that it does not have wine included by default, so I am guessing  
that it is not going to be supported regardless of the source, and may  
cause problems regardless of the source. I kind of doubt it will cause  
issues, unless it somehow changes something upon which it depends which is  
also used by other software (e.g. SSL or C library stuff), but if all you  
are doing is adding one package from some source, it is probably fine.

Good luck.
