The documentation you are referring to is aimed at helping you with creating the program from the sources. This process has already been done by the person who has build the package for you. To follow the instructions you should download the sources from winehq.org (usually a file ended tar.gz or tar.bz2), decompress it and in the directory now created, you will find he configure script mentioned, that will create the Makefile, needed for make. This is a very usual install for open source programs. Download the source, configure, make and make install. There should be general information in the net. > 1) "configure will find several omissions, but a few will only be noticed > by the 'make' steps." > -- Does this mean that we should have already run 'configure' at this > stage?
