[Wine] running wine from source tree

Hello there,

i downloaded the 1.2 and the 1.3.4 source trees of wine in order to test them. 
i configured and compiled both and afterwards i did "make clean".
i did _not_ use the "make install" command for the reason that i did not want 
to collide with the 1.1.42 installation of my distro.

when i use the

./wine --version

command inside one of the directories containing the source tree i get

./wine: could not locate Wine source tree

my questions:

1. what can i do about this issue
2. was the "make clean" shot a misstake?
3. if question no. 2 can be answered with yes then is there a way to undo it 
despite from recompiling the source?


Regards
	Lorenz
