------- Additional Comments From vitaliy@kievinfo.com 2006-18-01 18:07 ------- These are the standard "*nix development" things that you should know from othre sources. Like why do you need *-devel | *-dev packagees. You can actually read information contained in those packages that say what they are for.
Also it is impossible to account for each distribution out there. Some have 1 package some have 10. And all called something different. And it makes no sence to include all the possible dependancies in the user manual. Website is more complicated to change then README files included in the source tree.
As far as requirements go, Wine tries not to make _hard_ dependancies on libraries that might not exist on all systems.
I personally don't see anything here that needs to be fixed.
And last thing, users should not compile Wine from source but rather use packages provided by maintainers.
