Wine is a program which allows running Microsoft Windows programs
(including DOS, Windows 3.x and Win32 executables) on Unix. It

To compile and run Wine, you must have one of the following:
Linux version 2.0.36 or above
FreeBSD-current or FreeBSD 3.0 or later
Solaris x86 2.5 or later
You also need to have libXpm installed on your system. The sources for
it are probably available on the ftp site where you got Wine. They can
also be found on ftp.x.org and all its mirror sites. If you are using
RedHat, install the xpm and xpm-devel packages.
Although Linux version 2.0.x will mostly work, certain features
(specifically LDT sharing) required for properly supporting Win32
threads were not implemented until kernel version 2.2. If you get
consistent thread-related crashes, you may want to upgrade to 2.2.
On x86 Systems gcc >= 2.7.2 is required. You also need flex and yacc.
Bison will work as a replacement for yacc. If you are using RedHat,

will run under any Linux kernel more recent than 0.99.13, or
under recent releases of NetBSD/i386, FreeBSD and OpenBSD/i386. Some bugs
were fixed and additional features were added late in the Linux 2.0.x
series, so if you have an old Linux kernel, you may want to upgrade to the
latest 2.0.x release. If you have FreeBSD, make sure you have the USER_LDT,
requires kernel-level threads to run. Currently, only Linux version 2.0
or later, FreeBSD-current or FreeBSD 3.0 or later, and Solaris x86
version 2.5 or later are supported. Other operating systems which support
kernel threads may be supported in the future.

Although Linux version 2.0 will mostly work, certain features (specifically
LDT sharing) required for properly supporting Win32 threads were not

If you have FreeBSD, make sure you have the USER_LDT,
SYSVSHM, SYSVSEM, and SYSVMSG options turned on in your kernel. If you
are building Wine on Solaris, you will most likely need to build Wine
with the GNU toolchain (gcc, gas, etc.)
