Installing Wine from source.

[sonanski]

Hi,

I downloaded the Wine tar file 1.1.26 and ran "./configure --enable-win64" and "make depend && make" and everything went well, I suppose but I don't know what to do next...

There's no documentation explaining how to complete the installation process, and the website doesn't provide any information on how to complete the process either.

Thanks.

You really don't want to do that. Even in the current git (latest development version) Wine-64 won't run many 64-bit apps. Of course Wine-64 won't run any 32-bit apps regardless of the version.

Heh... That's good to know.

I guess I've figured out my problem.

Thanks.

64-bit Wine is presently experimental. If you have a 64-bit app you
can't find a 32-bit version of, by all means test it out! But expect
to be reporting lots of bugs

If you do need 64-bit Wine, you'll probably want to build from git
rather than use a tarball. This is geeky but otherwise reasonably
workable, particularly using ccache.

I understand a reasonably robust 32/64 Wine is one of the aims for
Wine 1.2 release.
