 Supported file systems:

 Basic requirements:
   You need to have the X11 development include files installed
   (called xlib6g-dev in Debian and XFree86-devel in Red Hat).
 
-Build tool requirements:
-  On x86 Systems gcc >= 2.7.2 is required.
-  Versions earlier than 2.7.2.3 may have problems when certain files
-  are compiled with optimization, often due to problems with header file
-  management.
-
   Of course you also need "make" (most likely GNU make).
 
   You also need flex version 2.5 or later and bison.
 
 Optional support libraries:
-  Run ./configure --verbose to see the optional libraries that could
-  be used but aren't found on your system.
+  Configure will display notices when optional libraries are not found
+  on your system. See http://wiki.winehq.org/Recommended_Packages for
+  hints about the packages you should install.
 
+  On 64-bit platforms you have to make sure to install the 32-bit
+  versions of these libraries; see http://wiki.winehq.org/WineOn64bit
+  for details.
