FreeBSD-current or FreeBSD 3.0 or later
Solaris x86 2.5 or later
Although Linux version 2.0.x will mostly work, certain features
(specifically LDT sharing) required for properly supporting Win32
threads were not implemented until kernel version 2.2. If you get
consistent thread-related crashes, you may want to upgrade to 2.2.
Similarly if you are on FreeBSD you may want to apply an LDT sharing
patch too (unless you are tracking -current where it finally has
been committed just recently), and there also is a small sigtrap
fix thats needed for wine's debugger. (Actually now that its using
ptrace() by default it may no longer make a difference but it still
doesn't hurt...) And if you're running a system from the -stable
branch older than Nov 15 1999, like a 3.3-RELEASE, then you also
need to apply a signal handling change that was MFC'd at that date.

To use wine's support for multi-threaded applications, your X libraries
must be reentrant, which is probably the default by now.
If you have libc6 (glibc2), or you compiled the X libraries yourself,
they were probably compiled with the reentrant option enabled.
You also need to have libXpm installed on your system. The sources for
it are available at ftp.x.org and all its mirror sites in the directory
/contrib/libraries. If you are using RedHat, libXpm is distributed as the
xpm and xpm-devel packages. Debian distributes libXpm as xpm4.7, xpm4g,
and xpm4g-dev 3.4j. SuSE calls these packages xpm and xpm-devel.

On x86 Systems gcc >= 2.7.2 is required.
Versions earlier than 2.7.2.3 may have problems when certain files

management. pgcc currently doesn't work with wine. The cause of this problem
is unknown.

Here is an example of how I tracked down a bug in Wine. The program
is something that just maps and dumps the contents of a Win32 executable.
It was dying for some reason.

.SH REQUIREMENTS
.B wine
requires kernel-level threads to run. Currently, only Linux version 2.0
or later, FreeBSD-current or FreeBSD 3.0 or later, and Solaris x86
version 2.5 or later are supported. Other operating systems which support
kernel threads may be supported in the future.
.PP

LDT sharing) required for properly supporting Win32 threads were not
implemented until kernel version 2.2. If you get consistent thread-related
crashes, you may want to upgrade to 2.2. Also, some bugs were fixed and
additional features were added late in the Linux 2.0.x series, so if you have

release.
.PP
If you have FreeBSD, make sure you have the USER_LDT,
SYSVSHM, SYSVSEM, and SYSVMSG options turned on in your kernel. If you
are building
.B wine
on Solaris, you will most likely need to build wine with the GNU toolchain
(gcc, gas, etc.)
.PP
.B X
must be installed. To use
.B wine's
support for multithreaded applications, your X libraries must be reentrant.
If you have libc6 (glibc2), or you
compiled the X libraries yourself, they were probably compiled with the
reentrant option enabled.
.PP
.B libXpm
must be installed. If you're using Red Hat, make sure the following
packages are installed: XFree86-devel, xpm, and xpm-devel. If you're
using Debian, the packages you need are xpm4g and xpm4g-dev. If you
have some other distribution, please send a list of packages required
to the address listed in the
.B
BUGS
section to get it included in this man page.
.PP
.B gcc
2.7.2 or later is required to build
.B wine.
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.
.B
pgcc
currently doesn't work with
.B wine.
The cause of this problem is unknown.
.PP
.B flex
version 2.5 or later and
.B yacc
are required. Bison can be used in replace of yacc. If you have Redhat
or Debian, make sure the bison and flex packages are installed.
.SH INSTALLATION
To install
.B wine,
run either "tools/wineinstall" (recommended), or do it the hard way:
run "./configure" in the top-level directory of the source, which will
detect your specific setup and create the Makefiles. You can run
"./configure --help" to see the available configuration options. Then do
"make depend && make" to build the
.B wine
executable, and then "make install" to install it. By default,
.B wine
is installed in the /usr/local/ hierarchy (current configuration has it in
the @prefix@ hierarchy); you can specify a different path with
the --prefix or --sysconfdir options when running
.B configure.

.I README
file contained in the source distribution.

Read the README file in the Wine source distribution to know what Wine
requires and how it is installed from source.
