Summary: Wine User's Guide -incomplete information about compilation Product: Wine Version: unspecified Platform: Other OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: wine-documentation AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: tuharsky@misbb.sk
Hallo, the paragraph that describes installing Wine from source should be more verbose. For example, during bug reporting process I have been told, that in order to enable CUPS support in compiled Wine, the libcupsys2-dev package should be installed in system. There is no mention in documentation about such needs, and .configure has complained only about missing x11-dev libraries, that I have resolved quickly.
I think, printing is such a notorious thing when You use computer, so that any steps necessarry to gain this kind of functionality should be mentioned in the Guide.
I have no deeper knowledge, what are the other such dependencies. For example, I don't know whether it is necessarry to install some packages to get sound working in compiled Wine etc.
So please, if there are some dependencies like the libcupsys2-dev one, can somebody competent create a neat table and insert it to the User's Guide, chapter discussing the compilation?
