Thanks for your patience. Sorry to be so dumb. OK, I got the clone step done and started on bisect. The result of the next step is: Rob@Office:~/wine-git$ CC="ccache gcc" ./configure --verbose checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnulibc1 checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnulibc1 checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking for gcc... ccache gcc checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables See `config.log' for more details. According to the wiki I was to expect dependencies, but I don't know where "config.log" is and I would probably not know what to change in it. whereis didn't help me or I don't know what i am looking at. Rob@Office:~/wine-git$ whereis config.log config: /usr/share/config /usr/share/config.kcfg /usr/share/man/man5/config.5ssl.gz Nothing in those locations looked right.
