wine users - Jun 2008 - Wine menue entry missing after source installation

Hi,

because wine 1.0 rc3 isn't available via yum (I'm using Fedora 9 btw.)
I've installed it via Source-Code. In this case I downloaded it, run
./configure --verbose, followed by make depend, make and make install.
It's installed and seems to run, but there is no entry in Applications.

Have I forgotten to install something for that?

No that's correct. It's up to distro packagers to add Wine entries into
menu. Wine creates entries for installed win apps only. Not the Wine itself.

Why are you asking here? Ask Redhat. There is nothing to fix in Wine.

I have wine menu entries under Fedora 9.

Weird, it's now even freezing under Fedora 8. I`m going to ask in the
fedoraforum.
