I think its telling you what you need to know without teaching you how to use a command line... assuming people trying to use this already know command line basics.

normally in Wine you'd cd into the folder containing the exe file, so it will be able to find it because it looks at the current folder.  If your running in a different folder using ./wine so it doesn't use the wine command in your path, your not in the folder where the exe file is.

me, I'd usually just alter my $PATH for that one terminal session...
export PATH="<full path to wine build where wine executable is>:$PATH"
which would put that folder earlier in the path than where your normal installed wine is.  so when you just type "wine" it would find it first in your build folder where your doing the testing. then you could use the wine command normally, and it would run the one in the build folder... at least for that terminal session.
