wineinstall fails because wine can't find regedit.exe.so. Obviously, the wine source directory does not exist in path of just created config file.
I'd say that wineinstall should run the installed wine binaries, not the ones from the source dir.
I recently tried the newish build infrastructure (using wineinstall), and overall I liked it, but I wasn't able to use it without some modifications. That's because I install wine into /usr/local/opt/wine, I never install it as root, and I don't want it tinkering with my ld.so.conf. I want to handle getting the right bits in my PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH myself. However, I *would* like to let wineinstall handle all the rest. So I was wondering if there would be any interest in a patch to wineinstall that would allow this kind of install as an option. Perhaps something like this: tools/wineinstall --not-root --prefix=/usr/local/opt/wine Even easier would be to just allow envt var overrides rather than coding for command line options. i.e. WINEINSTALL_SU=no WINEINSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local/opt/wine tools/wineinstall I could also output a final message would be output when anyone specifies a prefix that says something like You have used a prefix other than the default. You will need to make sure your PATH includes ... and your LD_LIBRARY_PATH includes ... If you don't want to have to do this, please don't specify WINEINSTALL_PREFIX.
