Ok, so I've compiled wine from sources but I haven't installed it: Code: ./configure make depend make Now wine works using the "wine" script found in the main folder of the sources, or using the loader/wine executable. However when I do these commands: Code: strace -e trace=open -o files.log -f ./wine myexe.exe grep -v ENOENT files.log | grep -v home | sed 's/.*("//;s/",.*//' | grep / | sed 's,/bin/\.\.,,' | grep ./wine | sort -u > files.txt The resulting files.txt is empty if ran from loader/wine, or only contains ./wine, if ran from main folder script. Maybe there's a modification to make to those commands to fit a portable install, it was spitting filenames out when I tried it with a installed version of wine. Also, how is it possible to separate the compiled files from the sources without installing wine with make install? Thank you very much! FG
