   7       In case you downloaded Wine source code files, this chapter will
   8       tell you how to compile it into binary files before installing them.
   9       Otherwise, please proceed directly to the <link
  10       linkend="installing">Installation chapter</link> to install the
  11       binary Wine files.

  20           For an up-to-date list of software requirements for compiling
  21           Wine and instructions how to actually do it, please see the <ulink
  22           url="http://www.winehq.org/source/README">README</ulink> file,
  23           which is also available in the main directory of a Wine source
  24           code tree.

  30         <para>
  31           You also need about 400 MB of available disk space for compilation.
  32           The compiled libwine.so binary takes around 5 MB of disk space,
  33           which can be reduced to about 1 MB by stripping ('strip wine').
  34           Stripping is not recommended, however, as you can't submit
  35           proper crash reports with a stripped binary.

  41         <para>
  42           If you get a repeatable sig11 compiling shellord.c, thunk.c
  43           or other files, try compiling just that file without optimization
  44           (removing the -Ox option from the GCC command in the
  45           corresponding Makefile).
