I downloaded the file wine-1.1.39.tar.bz2 from http://sourceforge.net/projects/wine/files/Source/ I put it on my non-internet computer and extracted the archive. I followed the instructions in the README file to Code: ./tools/wineinstall but it complained about a missing flex. In fact it says > Basic requirements: > You need to have the X11 development include files installed > (called xlib6g-dev in Debian and XFree86-devel in Red Hat). > > Of course you also need "make" (most likely GNU make). > > You also need flex version 2.5 or later and bison. So unless they come as standard in a default destop install of Ubuntu 9.10, I am probably missing most of these. Anyone know where I can get a package with these in it? I understand a bit about Synaptic, but not how to source stuff from a disk.
