You should probably use Wine 1.1.5 at this point if you want to have something more current. The only step that you need to change is the configure. Instead of these typical steps: ./configure make depend make You would use this: CC="gcc-4.1" ./configure make depend make You will of course need to have the gcc-4.1 package installed in order to use it, and here on my debianish Ubuntu, gcc 4.1 can peacefully coexist alongside gcc 4.2.x without issue. I also prefer to put Wine into /usr (rather than /usr/local ) and then use checkinstall to generate a deb, so my own personal scheme looks like this: CC="gcc-4.1" ./configure --prefix=/usr make depend && make sudo checkinstall --install=no sudo dpkg -i [whatever_package_you_just_created].deb Checkinstall unfortunately is not without it's quirky problems... it helps to have both wine and wine-dev packages installed prior to running checkinstall.
