>_> I'm not a kid neither my processor is "modern". It's a Pentium 4
bought in 2006, and before that I had a Pentium 3 933Mhz for crying
out loud! it costed me 3 months of work to get the
processor+motherboard+memory -_-...

A compilation that takes 4 days @_@ you have huge patience... I
would've stopped it the first 4-6 hours =/...

I can give half an hour to the WINE project, but I can't when I'm
short on time. Right now I'm not but when I wrote the email I was, so
I had to resort to use an ugly avian alternative instead. Some stuff
in Linux isn't just apt-get or pacman or ./configure && make (which
took 30 times longer).

However, I'm willing to provide any information needed in order to get
this program to work :).
