For wine follow this steps: 1.sudo apt-get build-dep wine (that should get all dependencies required to build wine) 2.sudo apt-get install checkinstall (this tool will allow you to build .deb package of wine after compilation) 3.(in wine source dir) ./configure && make depend && make OR if your CPU have many cores: ./configure && make depend -jX && make -jX where X is numeber of cores your CPU has After (hopefully, successful) compilation just type: sudo checkinstall and follow instructions there - it should install wine at the end - if it won't just install it by hand: sudo dpkg -i wine_<something>.deb Now you are all set, just type wine appname.exe to start something ;] -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
