Thanks to "vitamin" for the suggestion. I was trying to follow the regression instructions, and didn't realize "./configure" was part of the cycle after the first setup. However, to move on... I went into the wine-git directory without having done anything since the last post, ran ./configure, then make depend, then make. All seemed to go well for the ./configue and make depend. This quote shows what happened during the make: > .... (many lines, a few hundred?, generated by the "make") > freetype.c:5031: error: called object ?pFT_MulFix? is not a function > freetype.c:5032: error: called object ?pFT_MulFix? is not a function > make[2]: *** [freetype.o] Error 1 > make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/alan/wine-git/dlls/gdi32' > make[1]: *** [gdi32] Error 2 > make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/alan/wine-git/dlls' > make: *** [dlls] Error 2 > <prompt> Two problems now: 1) to be clear, is this the cycle? > initial setup (downloads, compile, install problem application) > set up bisect (start, good, bad) > start of cycle > run the program > run bisect good /bad > exit cycle if converged > ./configure > make depend > make > go to start of cycle > report bug with final data > This is my current understanding. Before I wasn't running "./configure" and "make depend" in the cycle 2) what do I have to do to make it possible to clear the present error / initial state so I can start the regression analysis again? Thanks in advance for continuing support... Alan
