All you have to do is run the install script. I think it is called install.sh or install-sh. I am really tired right now and can't thin too strait. But I think the install script does everything for you.

normally if an unpacked directory contains something like 'configure.SOMETHING' then typing
./configure
will do the magic. Alternatively you might need to make the file so typing
./make-install
or
./make
should work in such case.

Checking the wine site is also a good idea because sometimes the requirements are higher than standard, i.e. it happened to me that I downloaded Knights-chess and after checking the requirements I found out that those versions of automake and autoconf were not the ones that came with my Mandrake 9.1 so updating was needed.....
