Hello,
I spent time this weekend trying to compile wine on my home computer. The
machine is a Sun Microsystems X86 box running Solaris 10 operating system. I
have the freeware including gmake and gcc installed and in the path.
I managed to get ./configure to run, but had to use --exclude-network-build and
--exclude-pp-build or something like that to make it work.
make depend && make comes to a halt, saying something about not being
able to find git. I downloaded the git package from Sun and installed it in
/usr/local. The files seem to reside in /usr/local/bin, so I added that to the
path, but still no luck.
Can anyone help me with this problem?
TIA, Colin Sharpe.

I'm just another wine user (not a developer) and have never used Solaris, but I think you are missing dependency packages, whatever the configure script says. If you were a Debian user, you would first run as root: apt-get build-dep wine wine-dev That your Solaris does not find git is odd, but I am wondering about putting it in /usr/local. With Ubuntu, git goes in /home/myname/wine-git. I'm sorry I'm not of more help. Susan

The other problem is that Wine is developed mainly by people running Linux and MacOSX. There are probably few people running it on Solaris which means it may not run as well as you might expect. It may not even compile.> I have the freeware including gmake and gcc installed and in the path.Its not freeware, regardless of where you download it from (ie sunfreeware or whatever) its Free Software or Open Source software. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeware> I managed to get ./configure to run, but had to use --exclude-network-build > and --exclude-pp-build or something like that to make it work. > > make depend && make comes to a halt, saying something about not being able > to find git.You shouldn't need git to install wine from the source tarball. Can you post about 10-20 lines of the actual error message?> I downloaded the git package from Sun and installed it in /usr/local.Last time I used Solaris, the free software downloadable from SUN was usually badly out of date.
