The answer is that you can't with distro packages, but you can if you build Wine yourself. The easiest way is to not install Wine; just run it from the build directory. > > > I'll give a try. > Are you sure that running the compiled wine version from a user directory will find all the required libraries (if there is any required library)? Yes, since the libraries are installed system-wide. However, avoid running different wine versions on the same wineprefix (especially if they are very different: different versions can assume different registry structures, ...). So basically: - checkout version m and version n in different directories (say in ~/wineSourceVersion_M) - in each of those, configure and make (*NOT* make install) - when you want to launch a program, use sthg like WINEPREFIX="~/.wine-versionM" ./wine foo (while in ~/wineSourceVersion_M) Don't forget the ccache to speed up things, and read http://wiki.winehq.org/RegressionTesting if you have compilation problems with old wines.
