That's your mistake.  You shouldn't export it.
reg_convert_win95_registry_to_wine_format actually reads the files that
store a Win95 registry (the actual files, not exports).

I don't know the font stuff; someone else maybe will help here.

What is your environment; you shouldn't have had all those build problems.

What version of Wine do you actually use ? This should be fixed in the
latest release, and if not, raise a bug on bugs.winehq.org.

A naive question, perhaps, but did you remeber to "make depend"?

Before anybody else tries to find the reason, the version which Scott
used is wine-20020512-1.i386.rpm. So anything that Lionel contributed
since is obviously not fixed in that version.

Now, I don't know where he got it (it doesn't seem to be a Mandrake
package (i386 instead of i586), RedHat's version in 7.3 is 20020327 and
in RawHide is 20020605), but let's help him compile 20020804 instead,
no?

Speaking of which, Scott, could you be more specific about the
compilation errors and your setup? Are there some tests that configure
fails that could be the cause?
