Also you probably want to uninstall binary package if you have it installed before installing from source. And of course you have to run sudo make install to install from source (but only after successful compilation). If you don't want install Wine compiled by yourself you may run Wine without installation directly from its source directory (for example by typing "./wine" without quotes assuming you are at the root of Wine source). > Here are the last few lines of the compile report from the root terminal: > > make[2]: Entering directory > `/home/x/Downloads/wine101/wine-1.0.1/dlls/dinput/tests' make[2]: *** No > targets.

Are these two errors critical to the compile? You didn't include actual error (lookup for first error - it probably will help you find the source of the problem). Also make sure to run configure --verbose and satisfy all dependencies before compiling. If still doesn't work feel free to ask for further assistance but don't forget to include first compilation error and everything after it. P.S. Personally I recommend to use Wine 1.1.8. It contains a lot of improvements and bug fixes.
