I'm having problems building the latest version of Wine. make
bombs out with the following error
Any suggestions on how to fix ?
In file included from d3d8_private.h:34,

Unless you have a really good reason for using the source, I suggest you install a binary, you can get the official wine builds here: https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=6241
>I would recommend the opposite ;). Using Wine requires getting >your hands a little dirtyThis is your opinion, but wine wouldn't have packages making rpms, or run time detection of opengl at various libs if that was the case, or maybe you want to tell Lionel that all his work on detecting opengl at run time was a waste of time? Anyway, I no nothing about other packages, but I build an RPM of wine with no configuration at all, I just try to do a build of wine with all optional stuff enabled, and I leave winesetuptk to do the configuration. Maybe you should try it, it's a nice gui wizard, so end users don't need to know there is a config file. Most people just use computers as tools, and they don't care about how they work, or what source code is. M$ worked that out over a decade ago, and look at the result. Most users will not use open source until you tell them "It's great, but you must your hands a little dirty", they will answer "Get on with it, I like window because it's easy to use". The key to taking over the desktop is usability, that's what users want.
As Marcus said at wineconf 2002, the end user doesn't want to know wine is there, they just want to click on a windows program and see it start. And I agree with him. And if microsoft wanted to support linux, it would be easy, linux is open source and well documented. Also, if wine installation can be easily done with well working binaries,why waste time with source? It's not what people want to do, look at how many people download binaries, and how many people download source, wine 20030813 has had 15419 binary downloads, and 2193 source downloads, and the proportion will change even more in favor of binaries when we get to 0.9.0
