Successful compile of Wine

[cfk at pacbell.net]

Well, running 'wine sol' from /c/windows causes the following three messages
to be emitted:
    Could not stat /mnt/fd0 (No such file or directory), ignoring drive A:
    Could not stat /cdrom (No such file or directory), ignoring drive D:
    err:module:fixup_imports Module (file) CARDS.dll needed by
C:\windows\sol.exe not found

Running 'wine calc' does the Drive A: & D: stuff, adds:
    fixme:win:GetProcessDefaultLogout (0x405a5e18): No BiDi
    <but runs a calculator anyway>

Running 'wine welcome' from /c/windows causes the followiing three messages
to be emitted but welcome comes up and displays color graphics:
    Could not stat /mnt/fd0 (No such file or directory), ignoring drive A:
    Could not stat /cdrom (No such file or directory), ignoring drive D:
    err:animate:ANIMATE_WindowProc unknown msg 0467 wp=01000000 lp=00000001

Running 'winddbg' causes:
    Could not stat /mnt/fd0 (No such file or directory), ignoring drive A:
    Could not stat /cdrom (No such file or directory), ignoring drive D:
    Console: Making console complex (creating an xterm))...
    fixme:pthread_kill_other_threads_np
    Warning: Cannot allocate colormap entry for "Wheat"
    <   ...other lines for 9 other colors...   >
    xterm: unable to open font "vga", trying "fixed"....
    passed master doesn't match slave name

After this, an xterm window appears that is of course all black (although
notepad, welcome, calc do color graphics fine)

Running 'wine write' or 'wine wordpad' lookes like the previous but adds the
message:
    This program cannot be run in DOS mode

Running 'wine explorer' displays the Drive A: & D: thing, adds
    fixme:shell:SHLWAPI_437 (0x00000004)stub
    fixme:shell:SHRegGetUSValueW (0x40cd0c), stub!
    < and croaks, but CTRL-C causes a few messages of the form:
        /usr/local/bin/winedbg 134704920.exe not accessible from a DOS drive
>

Running 'wine edit.com' produces the same drive A: & D:, the color stuff,
the passed master doesn't match slave name followed by:
    X Error of failed request: BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window
parameter)
    <and other related emissions>

Running 'wine regedit' emits the drive A: & D: as per normal and adds:
    fixme:listview:LISTVIEW_Create ANSI notify format is NOT used
    <but gives me a color graphic regedit window with nothing under the
normal HKEY_'s>

Running 'wine cw32' flashes the color graphic of the CodeWright opening
screen for a 100ms or so, displays the A: & D: stuff, and goes back to the
shell prompt.

Am I barking up the wrong tree by trying to run this without windows
installed on the local hard disk of this machine. I thought the problem
would be simpler if I just dis-connected windows from the equation and only
dealt with the associated .EXE and .DLL files, but perhaps I am being naive
here.
