This file contains information about the current release of Wine.
If you are new to Wine, read the files ANNOUNCE and README and the FAQ
list first.
If you want to contribute code to Wine, read the DEVELOPER-HINTS. The
primary source of information to developers is the ChangeLog (next to
the source, of course).
1. make: No rule to make target xxx/xxx.o. Stop.
This frequently happens when a prior attempt to make xxx.o failed.
In the current setup, make does not terminate then, but continues and
realises the problem later on. 'make' again and watch the output. Be
sure to analyze the problem before you report it to the newsgroup.
2. What are these questions in Configure?
Emulator/Library: You need an emulator when you want to run MS-Win
binaries. You need a library when you want to compile the source code
of a Windows program.
Short filenames: Some file systems are limited to 11 characters per
file name. Files generated in if1632 will get gracefully translated
names.
Language: Wine can present the system menu in multiple languages. Select
one of English, German, or Norwegian here.
Malloc debugging: When enabled, the mtrace and mcheck GNU libc functions
are called. You might want to set the MALLOC_TRACE environment variable
to a trace file name. If your system supports another way of malloc
debugging, feel free to add it.
Config file: Sets the Wine environment. See README for details.
