Running Wine from a chroot build tree will not work

After all this you can run a Windows program from outside the chroot using your new build. For example:

/var/chroot/wine/wine notepad

But this will not work because /foo/bar/wine is a symlink.

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 37 Sep  5 20:43 /home/test/chrootprecisei386/home/test/wine32/wine -> /home/test/wine-git/tools/winewrapper

$ /home/test/chrootprecisei386/home/test/wine32/wine
bash: /home/test/chrootprecisei386/home/test/wine32/wine: No such file or directory

The also probably helps to explain this.

Solution is glaringly obvious in hindsight.

Run make install and then /path/to/chroot/usr/local/bin/wine

Simples.
