Disable SELINUX: Because Selinux is defaultly enabled on Fedora 9 and above, so edit /etc/selinux/config and add "SELINUX=disabled" line at the end of the file, then reboot.

Download longene-0.3.0.tar.bz2 from Download Center of Longene or from http://www.kernel.org

Some packages or tools are missing in some releases of linux , so you must install them at first. If you can compile Longene successfully, skip the following steps:
For ubuntu:


代码: 全选

# apt-get install build-essential   (install gcc, make, patch, and so on)





代码: 全选

# apt-get install libncurses5-dev   (library for make-menuconfig)

If you can compile Wine for Longene successfully, skip the following step:
Download the required dependent packages of wine from http://wiki.winehq.org/Recommended_Packages, for ubuntu, you can run the following command:


代码: 全选

# apt-get build-dep wine1.2

I. Compile linux kernel

uncompress linux-2.6.30.tar.bz2


代码: 全选

# tar jxvf linux-2.6.30.tar.bz2



patch the kernel before compile, the patch for Longene is in Longene-0.3.0.tar.bz2 which is named Longene-0.3.0-linux-2.6.30.diff. Enter the top directory of linux-2.6.30:


代码: 全选

#patch –p1 < path/longene-0.3.0-linux-2.6.30.diff



Where Path means the directory where the patch is in

Next configure the kernel(.config)
The general configuration file is provided in the patch (you can also configure it yourself).
Note that there is no config file included in longene-0.3.0-linux-2.6.34.diff patch, so if you use ubuntu 10.04 / fedora 12 / 13, you should copy /boot/config-*** to the top directory of linux-2.6.34, and rename it to .config


代码: 全选

# make menuconfig



you just select “ save and exit”.

If you decide to configure the patched kernel yourself, you can use your own configuration file or config-*** in /boot which is the default configuration of release. Copy it to the top directory of linux-2.6.30, and rename it to .config, then configure the kernel:


代码: 全选

#make menuconfig

Where initrd.img-2.6.30-longene-0.3.0 is the name of initrd.img file, you can named it.Then you should add the boot selection item manually:
For ubuntu, modify /boot/grub/menu.list for ubuntu 9.04 or bellow, modify /boot/grub/grub.cfg for ubuntu 9.10, just copy the boot selection item of other kernel , replace the vmlinuz file and initrd.img file as Longene’s file.

Howdy There,

I see there are now packages for Ubuntu 9.04/9.10 - do I need to do anything beyond installing this package for Longene to work on my system?

~Jeff

If you install Longene with the binary packages for Ubuntu 9.04/9.10, nothing else have to be done. Just run the commandline:
#./*.exe

However, if you build and install Longene from the source code, you should refer to the aforementioned Installation Guide. Never forget to run
#insmod ./unifiedkernel.ko
before running your windows app.

Wish u good luck!
