problem with wineinstall : regapi cannot find libntdll.so
Hi, I am trying to compile wine, well i just done ./configure and make depend && make stuff. After compilation finished (successfully). I discovered wineinstall, i tried to use it but the problem is that regapi returns an error : it cannot find shared object libntdll.so, even when i symlink it in programs/regapi/ in my root compilation directory and in /ust/local/lib (i am installing wine in another partition so i used --prefix=/mnt/data/programs/wine in ./configure). Can anyone help me solving this ? -- Omar

If you don't have them you can use the --prefix= option of ./configure and the LD_LIBRARY_PATH and PATH environment variables as a work around. -- Um das zu glauben (dass Planeten um ferne Sonnen kreisen), muesste man denken wie Giordano Bruno, der auf Urteil der heiligen Inquisition verbrannt wurde fur solch freche Behauptung.

As a developer-only, you are spoze to know how to work shared libraries, as are we all :-).
