1.2. Compiling Wine

1.2.1. Tools required

The Red Hat RPMs are gcc-XXX, flex-XXX, and XFree86-devel-XXX, where XXX is the version number.

1.2.2. Space required

You also need about 230 MB of available disk space for compilation. The compiled libwine.so binary takes around 5 MB of disk space, which can be reduced to about 1 MB by stripping ('strip wine'). Stripping is not recommended, however, as you can't submit proper crash reports with a stripped binary any more.

1.2.3. Common problems

If you get a repeatable sig11 compiling shellord.c, thunk.c or other files, try compiling just that file without optimization. Then you should be able to finish the build.

1.2.4. OS specific issues
