I just have downloaded the source of wine v. 20020411, I launched ./tools/wineinstall as a normal user and I was told to enter the root password, the install crashed. Here is a sample of stdout:
Wine build complete. --- Performing 'make install' as root to install binaries, enter root password Mot de passe: /bin/bash: - : unrecognized option
Either you entered an incorrect password or we failed to run 'make install' correctly. If you didn't enter an incorrect password then please report this error to wine-devel@winehq.com.
Installation failed, aborting. --- I'm sure the password was correct...
