"Make install" gives me an error - perhaps I need to use sudo make install, but I am loathe to go further without a little in the way of pointers. Wine is already installed on the computer. Here is the code - I have left out all the repeated bits: > You don't need to install wine, you can run it directly from the directory where it was compiled to. (You need to specify the path to the executable though e.g. ~/wine-git/wine application.exe) make install needs to run as root.
