I've spent the last few hours looking this one over. Looks like the people who try under .25 are having success whereas .26 just wont work (after working out the library problems you are left with one error so wine has most likely broken some thing between versions). I'm currently compiling .25 with patches to see if it works. Note that compiling under gcc 3.4 can avoid the fps issues some have reported.
There is a mirror of Elfes patches (past and present) and a list of information + a quick guide for those looking to get eve working under wine available at http://eps.homelinux.org/eve/ - This gets updated rather often.

Fixed I believe. Now to go die of lack of sleep. Happy flying and please send corrections/ways to setup the compile time parts for other distros and any fixes you have for fps.

I'm stuck on Preparing Data and can't log in. Anyone else have this problem?
I can't see any worrying errors in your log...I suggest clearing your cache and checking out the windows solution to this error. I've noticed I've been effected by more windows issues than ever with this patch! 0_o;
Thanks for the corrections via irc - I'm looking through Elfe's forum posts for ways to shorten the steps, specifically the d3dx9 part.

I got to the Revelations splash screen, but then it sits there for about a minute and then dumps me out. I'm using 0.9.26 and I'm stuck... I'll report any progress if I have some...
First off, DO NOT RUN WINE OR ANY USERLAND APPLICATIONS AS ROOT. You will now need to check all of your config files to make sure the right user owns them.
Secondly, follow the guide at eps.homelinux.org/eve . It will be updated to use .26 when some one works out how to get it to work. Though for now you'll have to stick to .25.
Thirdly, DO NOT RUN AS ROOT AS YOU ARE JUST ASKING FOR TROUBLE (see using Windows).

With wine progressing with speed toward playability, as well as CCP's vocal support for Transgaming, as well as the cider implementation for the client for MACs, we are in a position of wealth regarding choice rarely seen in the open source world regarding commercial gaming.
To be honest I feel the effort on CCPs behalf would be better spent giving icculus (of icculus.org/ut2k4/d3/q4/etc/etc/etc fame) the EVE engine and client to port to the SDL/openAL libraries. That way for a small cost (no idea what working with Transgaming is costing them) they could have a fully cross platform native client for mac/lin/sol that wouldn't suffer the problems of a Windows compatibility layer.
Or you know...They could write the engine in opengl and avoid all these issues...Oh thats right; The selling of their souls to Microsoft blocks that...Righto... Long live DX10 I guess? </snipe>
