Let me explain the problem. I took your source from May and it compiled
correctly. When I looked at your source I found that you had supplied
some additional code in the form of three patches. Among the other
things supplied were ttf fonts. As a result your source does not need
fontforge or fontforge required libraries. This is not true of the
stock version of Wine. It supplies all fonts in fontforge form. As a
result if libuninameslist.so.0 is missing then the make file in
directory fonts will fail and compilation will stop. With your patches
this didn't happen. Try running wineinstall with the stock Wine source
and NO additional rpms in your system. It should fail in fonts. If you
install fontforge and the fontforge required library
libuninameslist.so.0 then Wine compiles and installs perfectly.
I think the best thing might be for you to document those May patches as
I think I prefer your way over the stock way. Please understand: there
is nothing wrong with Wine.
