I am a newbie to Solaris as well as Wine. 

I downloaded Solaris 10 x86 on 12/6/2010 (how do I know the build/ver?) and loaded it in a Virtual Machine on my Windows 7 Desktop.

Then recently I have been trying to get Wine om Solaris 10 working so far with no success. 

I downloaded Swine-sol10-1.1.40.7z  from http://www.sunfreepacks.com/

but I have not been able to unpack this by using "p7zip -d Swine-sol10-1.1.40.7z" on my solaris.

It returns immediately to the terminal prompt and it apparently does nothing but gives no error.

So at http://www.winehq.org/announce/1.1.19  I found another Wine-1.1.19.tar.bz2

I used bunzip and then tar to get just Wine-1.1.19

I then did "./tools/wineinstall and encountered an error saying I couldn't/shouldn't install under ROOT

so after making a user account via useradd I did

./tools/wineinstall again.

this time I received a line 149 syntax error

looking on the web I found

A bug report at http://wine.1045685.n5.nabble.com/Bug-19321-New-Syntax-error-during-installation-td1605805.html

That says Don't use 'wineinstall script', do './configure && make install' instead.

Solaris10 doesn't have a make pre-installed and I can't find where I can get one, so I am presently stuck again.

Sure seems a lot of road blocks so far, can anybody offer some information to get me over the hurdles?
