Run wine without installing.

[sashoalm]

I want to run Wine directly from the build tree. I cloned the git repository, and compiled it using "./tools/wineinstall". It compiled, and there is a ./wine executable script at the top of the build tree.

But when I try to run it on a program, it gives this error:

Code: Select all

sashoalm@aspire:~/Workspace/wine/wine-git$ ./wine /tmp/xformtest.exe 
wine: cannot find L"C:\\windows\\system32\\wineboot.exe"
err:process:start_wineboot failed to start wineboot, err 2
wine: cannot find L"C:\\windows\\system32\\explorer.exe"
Application tried to create a window, but no driver could be loaded.
The explorer process failed to start.

My OS is Debian Wheezy 64-bit. I'm building 32-bit Wine, which, as far as I know, makes it more complicated to compile Wine.
I've followed the instructions at http://wiki.winehq.org/WineOn64bit#head ... 41b7fa1988, I've only skipped the gstreamer support step.

So I guess my question is, is it possible to run Wine from the source tree/build tree, and if so, how do I fix those errors I am getting?

compiled it using "./tools/wineinstall".

Don't do that. Use ./configure and make.

Make sure you have 32 bit graphics drivers installed.

Why, the README says it's the preffered/official way. Is there something wrong with it?
