I thought that if you want to add anything to wine you:
1 - simply add it to git 2 - ./tools/make_makefiles 3 - autoconf 4 - ./configure 5 - make depend && make
Is this wrong?
Yes. On occasion we need to add or improve checks for different libraries. tools/make_makefiles is used to add new code to Wine, configure.ac is modified to add new configure checks.
When a new directory was added to Wine (git-update-index --add */Makefile.in), then configure.ac is updated by make_makefiles
The Makefile has a rule to rebuild configure, when configure.ac changed The Makefile has a rule to rerun config.status, when configure changed (That will rerun configure / rebuild the Makefiles)
So in the line 3 above is only present to reduce the total time.
