I' just too inexperienced and too isolated to use CVS right now: an 800 page 
manual, configuring, using SSH, it threatens to take up the rest of the year 
just to get started, and I'm off to another mailing list when the inevitable 
"why doesn't it work" problems occur.

I've also discovered that with non-rpm source distributions, there is a "make 
install", but so far, nothing I have seen has a "make uninstall" that does 
anything, and that concerns me, when I see 70 MB of stuff flying off to 400 
different places. (Maybe wine is not like that, but I just built the 
"insight" gdb, and I thought it would use my existing gdb, but it built and 
installed a new one, installed its own tk, (gee, what about the tk that is a 
part of Python) and has no way to uninstall.

I'm at a place where I'm wrestling with "how  does the PATH get set",
"how do you build a static library", "how do you build a shared library",
"how does the loader find a shared library". Wrestling with ten thousand-line 
makefiles is sheer insanity from my perspective. I just hope that I can get 
my little program to compile and run with winelib, because if it that works, 
I won't have to use Windows in my day-to-day work.

OK, great, that link works today, but what about the wine libraries - 
wine-devel? What version, which rpm is compatible? There are only Suse and 
Red Hat rpms on sourceforge, and likely my original problem is a version 
mismatch (i.e. the winebuilder tools seem to generate makefile commands that 
other tools (wrc) don't understand)
