Hi all,

At the moment I am installing a VMware Ubuntu machine. This machine has no internet connection.

I want to install wine, so I can install software that only runs under Windows.

I cannot find the packages to install wine under the VMware machine that will download to windows.

I have no clue on how to handle the source of wine, so I can download the source of wine, copy that to the VMware machine and use 'make' there.

Any links or ideas on how to proceed?

EDIT -----

Ok, tried to compile source of wine on the VMware machine. It gave an error, since it was missing package flex. Compiling flex from source gave an error, since it was missing package m4. Trying to compile m4 gave an error, see make_install.log.

These were my steps:

Went to /usr/local/bin/ and unpacked m4 there.
Went into the m4 directory (m4-1.4.14).
/configure
make
make install

I can't get the configure log uploaded as an attachment, since it is too big. Splitting it into smaller sizes doesn't help either , since it will become more than 3 files (and 3 is the max to upload). If you want that log, please let me know and I will e-mail it to you.

What are my next steps to proceed? I want to compile the m4 package so I can proceed with flex.

Got home, used an internet connection and can now use apt-get to get everything going.

Unfortunately no real solution has been found.
