Code: sudo apt-get install libx11-dev Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done The following extra packages will be installed: libxau-dev libxdmcp-dev libxext-dev x11proto-core-dev x11proto-input-dev x11proto-kb-dev x11proto-xext-dev xtrans-dev which overcame the x error and got Code: ./tools/wineinstall checking for -lfreetype... not found configure: error: FreeType development files not found. Fonts will not be built. Use the --without-freetype option if you really want this. so have installed that Code: The following extra packages will be installed: zlib1g-dev The following NEW packages will be installed: libfreetype6-dev zlib1g-dev just need to get home to try it think the issue here is am trying to compile it using the minimum of space, as there is only a minimum of space available! am guessing will get several more of these from the Recommended_Packages (http://wiki.winehq.org/Recommended_Packages) selection. perhaps running xandros differently, fresh install/off usb might be worth looking at. will have to see whether it works as well as the ubuntu version when compiled...:)
