Hi, I have been trying to find the documentation that will walk me though what do to after 'make install' The README says look at the documentation, the documentation doesn?t realy say anything other than to se 'tools/wineinstall' If soneone could point me at a URL or updated user documentation? Ta, Tim.

I've been using Wine for 3 years, and still using it if I want to do a fresh install (for testing purposes). I should do pretty much everything you need for the installation. In general, after a "make install", about all that is left is making sure that /usr/local/lib (or wherever the main Wine libraries are installed) is in /etc/ld.so.conf, and that the ~/.wine/config file is correctly configured. Other than that, maybe copy over DLLs and fonts from a Windows installation if desired.

I think Wine needs a better installation procedure, one that allows multi user install and easy RPM/DEB integration. Too many tasks and too little time. Shachar

All user config and registry files normally go in ~/.wine. They should be correctly installed and setup by wineinstall (other than leaving floppy and CD entries in the config file that tend to generate extraneous messages).
