I didn't understand you wanted to do a system wide installation. In my case, I compiled 1.1.32 from source and yesterday (some hours ago in fact), I wanted to try the latest release. "git pull" made my local source up to date and I compiled it but I didn't install (because I didn't want to conflict with my .deb package) So now, I'm waiting for the 1.1.33 .deb package which will properly install the latest wine. Opening the Makefile gives me: Code: # This Makefile understands the following targets: # # all (default): build wine # clean: remove all intermediate files # distclean: also remove all files created by configure # test: run tests # testclean: clean test results to force running all tests again # crosstest: build tests as native windows applications (requires MinGW) # install-lib: install libraries needed to run applications # install-dev: install development environment # install: install everything # uninstall: uninstall everything # depend: create the dependencies # ctags: create a tags file for vim and others. # etags: create a TAGS file for Emacs. # manpages: compile manpages for Wine API # htmlpages: compile html pages for Wine API # sgmlpages: compile sgml source for the Wine API Guide # xmlpages: compile xml source for the Wine API Guide so if you need to widely install wine, you should do "make uninstall" before.
