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

  17         <para>
  18           To compile and install Wine, run the following commands:
  19           <screen>
  20 ./configure
  21 make depend
  22 make
  23 make install
  24           </screen>
  25           Please note that the last command (<command>make install</command>)
  26           must be run as root.

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

  43         <title>Space required</title>
  44         <para>
  45           You also need about 400 MB of available disk space for compilation.
  46           The compiled libwine.so binary takes around 5 MB of disk space,
  47           which can be reduced to about 1 MB by stripping ('strip wine').
  48           Stripping is not recommended, however, as you can't submit
  49           proper crash reports with a stripped binary.

  55         <para>
  56           If you get a repeatable sig11 compiling shellord.c, thunk.c
  57           or other files, try compiling just that file without optimization
  58           (removing the -Ox option from the GCC command in the
  59           corresponding Makefile).
