wine users - Mar 2011 - how to prepare and run portable Wine build from folder?

Hello,

I want to better understand Wine and its source code, so I've downloaded the
source code and successfully built it under Ubuntu 10.10.

Now I want to be able independently execute different windows programs under
current build folder. My aim is to make execution portable, that I could copy
sources and build another Wine executables in another folder so no settings for
wine or windows programs are shared. How to do this? Do I need to make any
changes to the source code?

Settings for Wine and Windows apps are not stored in the build folder. You need
to learn about wineprefixes.

you can set up as many wineprefixes as you want all with the same install of
Wine... no source code or changes needed...

thank you!

WINEPREFIX is what I needed indeed
