Another way to do it, is run the following commands in a terminal before beginning:
sudo apt-get build-dep wine wine-dev sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts fontforge
You need a lot of things, ideally. This gets you all of them. Some places say you can get by with bison and flex and the C compiler. I don't think that's really true.

ref. Linux Format DVD 104 April 2008 From: stephen cooper (stephencooper96@hotmail.com) I am new to Linux. I have just installed Linux UBUNTU 7.1 (gutsy) onto my computer with no problems.
I want to install wine. I have written the source code onto my hard disc. (using tar ) When I run ./configure (.tools/wineinstall) I get an error - C compiler cannot create executables. I am including the output from the config.log for wine installation below.
PLEASE ADVISE ME.
Take a look at http://wiki.winehq.org/Recommended_Packages for the list of packages needed to build Wine. If you just want to use Wine, there's packages available for Ubuntu: http://www.winehq.org/site/download
