Hi
this is my first patch for wine. It is for the documentation FIXME: Explain how to un-tar, compile, and install Wine from a tarball.
I compiled the documentation html and it looks OK (no warnings)

This is wrong as of the last two months. wine is not installed as root, in fact ./tools/wininstall will not run as root . I would suggest this as an alternative. --- wine-20020509/documentation/getting.sgml Mon May 13 23:00:16 2002 +++ wine-local/documentation/getting.sgml Mon May 13 23:00:34 2002 @@ -201,7 +201,22 @@ one. </para> <para> - FIXME: Explain how to un-tar, compile, and install Wine from a tarball. + To install Wine from a tarball you need to first un-tar the archive. + this will create a subdirectory containing the Wine sources.
