...I have been doing some things this morning which lead me to believe I don't know how to run multiple versions of Wine correctly. What I have been doing is this:
(Please don't mix this with my other Wine questions about Quicken. That's a different environment and not part of this audio work)
1) Set up two source code directories wine-20040505 wine-20040914
2) configure and compile wine in each directory
3) Run make uninstall in the one I want to remove and make install in the one I want to use
4) Now 'wine --version' shows the correct version number
Now, my question comes down to how do I handle the .wine directory?
Is the WINEPREFIX variable available in wine 20040505? If so, you can make as many wine environments as you like. If not, then use regular $HOME/.wine for 20040505 and other dirs for other versions. You can even spare yourself uninstall/installing if you'd configured-compiled one of the wines with --prefix=/special/path and adding this /special/path to the heads of PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH in a wrapper script.
