Hello,
I am not a total Linux newbie, but this is my first foray into the mysterious world of compiling from source. Apparently there are no up-to-date binaries for Wine in Debian, so I can't just apt-get
I made a directory for the WINE source to extract to, but the graphical archiver would not recognize it, so I ended up extracting to the default /tmp.
Here is the output of the terminal so far:
c-24-18-244-87:/home/pad# mkdir .wine
c-24-18-244-87:/home/pad# cd tmp
bash: cd: tmp: No such file or directory
c-24-18-244-87:/home/pad# cd /tmp
c-24-18-244-87:/tmp# ls
gconfd-pad libgksu-yO0g8K orbit-root wine-0.9.25
gconfd-root mapping-pad ssh-paNdPi5054 wine-0.9.25.tar.bz2
keyring-jSJuA1 orbit-pad virtual-pad.SIpZmW
c-24-18-244-87:/tmp# cd wine-0.9.25
c-24-18-244-87:/tmp/wine-0.9.25# ./configure

See `config.log' for more details.
c-24-18-244-87:/tmp/wine-0.9.25# config.log
bash: config.log: command not found
c-24-18-244-87:/tmp/wine-0.9.25#
How do I look at 'config.log'? Are there build dependencies? The WINE HQ instructions say to look for them in the output of configure, but I don't know how to interpret what I'm looking at.
System:
AMD 64 3800+, 1GB RAM, 64 Studio distro (a media authoring optimization of Debian)
FWIW, here are links to some software I want to run in WINE. If you're musically inclined, they might be of interest:
