wine users - Sep 2008 - distribute a compiled wine version on linux

hello,
i want to know what problems can appear if i compile wine on my opensuse 11
linux, and then i give it to other linux users with other distros of linux. will
that work good, bad or perfectly, for others?
what can be a problem?

thx for your answers.

Well, even if you are compiling a 32 bit copy, it won't work on a 64-bit
machine.

If you fail to meet all the dependancies that Wine requires in order to compile
them, when you run ./configure, it will tell you at the end if you are missing
any necessary devel files.

A successful compilation of Wine will run like any pre-packaged copy made by the
Wine developers, except it will run a bit faster on the machine it was compiled
on than the pre-packaged ones. If you plan to compile and give the program to
others though, they won't reap the same performance benefits.

Unless you plan to build a patched copy of Wine for others, I can't see why
you'd want to anyway.
