Remember that Wine is not an emulator therefore it will only work on x86 or x86_64 Multilib systems.

Introduction to Wine

Wine is an Open Source implementation of the Windows API on top of X and Unix.

Think of Wine as a compatibility layer for running Windows programs. Wine does not require Microsoft Windows, as it is a completely free alternative implementation of the Windows API consisting of 100% non-Microsoft code, however Wine can optionally use native Windows DLLs if they are available. Wine provides both a development toolkit for porting Windows source code to Unix as well as a program loader, allowing many unmodified Windows programs to run on x86-based Unixes, including Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X, and Solaris.

Non-Multilib x86

Compile the package:

./configure --prefix=/opt/wine-1.1.38 --disable-debug &&
make depend &&
make

Install the package

make install &&
ln -sfvn wine-1.1.38 /opt/wine

Multilib x86_64

For running 32bit apps

Compile the package:

PKG_CONFIG_PATH="${PKG_CONFIG_PATH32}" USE_ARCH=32 \
./configure --prefix=/opt/wine-1.1.38 --disable-debug &&
make depend &&
make

Install the package

make install &&
ln -sfvn wine-1.1.38 /opt/wine

For running 64bit apps (Not Worth It)

See http://www.winehq.com/pipermail/wine-devel/2006-June/048758.html for more information. If you would like to build it anyway don't let this warning stop you.

Compile the package:

PKG_CONFIG_PATH="${PKG_CONFIG_PATH64}" USE_ARCH=64 \
./configure --prefix=/opt/wine-1.1.38 --enable-win64 --disable-debug &&
make depend &&
make

Install the package

make install &&
ln -sfvn wine-1.1.38 /opt/wine

Configuration

50-wine.sh

If you're using the Bash Startup Files create an addition for them with the following command:

cat > /etc/profile.d/50-wine.sh << "EOF"
# Begin /etc/profile.d/50-wine.sh

export PATH="${PATH}:/opt/wine/bin"
export XDG_DATA_DIRS="${XDG_DATA_DIRS}${XDG_DATA_DIRS+:}/opt/wine/share"

# End /etc/profile.d/50-wine.sh
EOF

Simple config

/opt/wine/bin/winecfg
