This would be a problem for a wide-use intended wine portable. While my goal is to run two or three very very very simple binaries. As show by WINEDEBUG=+loaddll wine program.exe the dependencies seems to be KERNEL32.DLL, msvcrt.dll and a dll that goes with the program. Correct me if I'm wrong. I'd like a small insight to how to finish the portable stripped-down wine version I need, I don't quite understand what DanKegel meant by: > To make this portable, you need to do that on an uninstalled > copy of wine (in the source tree where it was built). Thank you, FG
