I am a newbie to Solaris as well as Wine. I downloaded Solaris 10 x86 on 12/6/2010 (how do I know the build/ver?) and loaded it in a Virtual Machine on my Windows 7 Desktop. Then recently I have been trying to get Wine om Solaris 10 working so far with no success. I downloaded Swine-sol10-1.1.40.7z from http://www.sunfreepacks.com/ but I have not been able to unpack this by using "p7zip -d Swine-sol10-1.1.40.7z" on my solaris. It returns immediately to the terminal prompt and it apparently does nothing but gives no error. So at http://www.winehq.org/announce/1.1.19 I found another Wine-1.1.19.tar.bz2 I used bunzip and then tar to get just Wine-1.1.19 I then did "./tools/wineinstall and encountered an error saying I couldn't/shouldn't install under ROOT so after making a user account via useradd I did ./tools/wineinstall again. this time I received a line 149 syntax error looking on the web I found A bug report at http://wine.1045685.n5.nabble.com/Bug-19321-New-Syntax-error-during-inst allation-td1605805.html That says Don't use 'wineinstall script', do './configure && make install' instead. Solaris10 doesn't have a make pre-installed and I can't find where I can get one, so I am presently stuck again. Sure seems a lot of road blocks so far, can anybody offer some information to get me over the hurdles?
