under ./tools/wineinstall i get this :

Preparing to install default Wine registry entries...
Installing default Wine registry entries...

Invalid path 'c:\windows' for windows directory: does not exist
Perhaps you have not properly edited or created your Wine configuration file.
This is (supposed to be) '/root/.wine/config'
Registry install failed.

deb-box:/usr/src/winex# atexit destroy of semaphore
atexit destroy of shared_memory

anyone know what it means ? cant find anything on google

Could you please post your .wine/config file? There might be a clue in there.

I get this one :
Preparing to install default Wine registry entries...
Installing default Wine registry entries...

Could not stat /root/.transgaming/c_drive (No such file or directory), ignoring drive C:

and my .wine/config file looks like this :

Are you running as root on purpose?

Wine thinks you are root (not your normal user), so is looking infor your pseudo-C: drive.

If you see a prompt that ends with a pound sign (hash, octothorpe, whatever), like this: ... you su'ed to root somewhere along the line. Do this: ... and try again.
