           Summary: Wine build uses the wrong libwine.so file
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.20.
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-tools
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org
        ReportedBy: docbill+bugzilla(a)freeshell.org


I have been investigating why whenever I attempted to upgrade Wine that my build
would fail with unresolved symbols, even though it apparently works for
thousands of others without problems.  I finally figured out the problem is the
build will use the version of libwine.so previously installed, instead of the
new version of libwine.so from the source code being built.

The fundamental flaw in the build process is the path to the shared library is
specified as:  -L$(TOPBUILDDIR)/libs/wine -lwine
However, this simply appends $(TOPBUILDDIR)/libs/wine to the library paths and
does not guarentee that libwine.so will be taken from that path.  In fact quite
the opposite, if an old version of libwine.so has already been installed in the
standard library path, that version will be used instead.

I have verified this bug has existed in the last few releases of wine (probabyl
much longer) and the current snapshots.
