[Wine] Re: How to Install WINE on Slackware 12

[Plamen.Vassilev]

Do not run wine as root! Create regular user and then you can follow this 
example:

o Optional: download compile and install latest fontforge from sourceforge.net
o Download wine sources from http://ibiblio.org/pub/linux/system/emulators/wine/wine-0.9.57.tar.bz2 to some directory
o Extract wine sources with 
Code:
tar jxf wine-0.9.57.tar.bz2


o Enter the extracted sources directory: 
Code:
cd wine-0.9.57


o Execute 
Code:
./configure --with-x && make depend && make


o If everything went fine do a 
Code:
make install

 as root, or run wine from the directory where you created it.
o Optional: run 
Code:
wineprefixcreate

 
Hope that helps.

P.S. Did I mentioned NOT to run wine as root?
