wine users - Dec 2010 - Re: Help testing regression

Hi! I also need regression testing. Sadly, while try to install wine into my
Ubuntu 10.10, for some old versions of Wine like wine-1.0, i get errors like


Code:
/usr/bin/install -c  -m 644  `basename __install__/avifile.dll16`
/usr/local/lib/wine/`basename __install__/avifile.dll16`
/usr/bin/install: omitting directory `avifile.dll16'
make[1]: *** [__install__/avifile.dll16] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/test/wine-git/dlls'
make: *** [dlls/__install-lib__] Error 2




There are many talks about this error on internet  (not only for Wine installer)
but no any solution suggested... Maybe it's due to changes in newer
/usr/bin/install itself, i don't know. Please help me. But please not
suggest 'not install wine but run it locally', it's not work:
wine-1.0 taken from Ubuntu repos, and wine-1.0 compiled myself and run from home
folder, gives different results.
Thanks!

I continue my research and find two strange solutions for this error...
1) Modify /usr/bin/install
I get coreutils source code, then modify this

Code:
install.c line 288 
  x->recursive = true;


I don't know what is does as i don't know C, but i find it myself and
when i compile and replace /usr/bin/install, wine's sudo make install become
works normally. DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK and revert your changes as soon as
possible.
2) Suddenly I reboot under previous old linux kernel (2.6.35-24-generic) and
this error is magically disappears! I now able to install any version which
compiles on my system. I have absolutely no idea why kernel changes make
difference, but i reproduce this on two machines.

Later I also suddenly find (via random internet searching) reply on my post in
another place: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.wine.user/74592

But fortunately, when i now able install wine, instead of run it from local
folder, i get same results for at least wine-1.0 taken from Ubuntu repos, and
wine-1.0 compiled and installed myself, so i can continue my regression tests.

P.S. Some more things to compile old wines...
