No, there is no "tools" directory, because you have downloaded a
precompiled binary for Slackware 10, rather than the source files, which
would be compiled and installed in the way the readme describes.

If you are in fact running Slack 10, use your package manager to install
the *.tgz normally.

If you are not running Slack 10, then download the correct binary for
your distribution, or download the source tarball and compile Wine, if
you would like to do that instead.

Hope this helps.

Yes, much, thanks. The bottom line would then be to simply ignore the README and do what I'd do anyway... which I initially suspected. Just makes me wonder what is the point of having a misleading README in those downloads in the first place...


Lasse

Well, since one normally should not "open" a Slackware binary installer, the user should never see it anyway. It's most likely left over from the maintainer's compilation of the package from source for distribution.
