I downloaded this file http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/ALPHA/wine/development/Wine-20010510.tar.gz (it's the source code). Then I unpacked it as root and then I went into the "/root/wine-20010510"-directory. Then I typed ./tools/wineinstall (or something like that). And then it startet installing. When it was finished i edited my ~/.wine/config so that it would not automaticly start with the "--desktop 640x480"-mode turned on. Then I tried to start my favorite app by pressing "wine favoriteapp.exe" and it said. "Command not found". Hmm... Then I went into the "wine-20010510"-folder. From there I typed "./wine /root/favoriteapp.exe". I don't remeber what i said but something was wrong with WINE so i didn't work. I also tried "./wine --desktop 800x600 /root/favoriteapp.exe" and it just said something about the "--desktop"-command didn't exist. I've tried the Wine that followed with Mandrake 8.0 (that's the distribution I use right now) and CodeWeavers WINE. Both of them started the favoriteapp.exe just perfect. What has gone so terribly wrong?

Mandrake does not include /usr/local/bin in root's path in hope to save it (root) from doing something stupid and/or destructive.

I've triedIt doesn't. desktop is no longer a command option to wine. If you want it, you must put it in the config file, but you may specify a different desktop (or no desktop) for each application.

If you build wine from source and default --prefix=, you might want to have root add a line /usr/local/lib to the file /etc/ld.co.conf and run /sbin/ldconfig Or you could read some doco.
