7       In case you downloaded Wine source code files, this chapter will

9       Otherwise, please proceed directly to the <link

11       binary Wine files.

20           For an up-to-date list of software requirements for compiling
21           Wine and instructions how to actually do it, please see the <ulink
22           url="http://www.winehq.org/source/README">README</ulink> file,
23           which is also available in the main directory of a Wine source
24           code tree.

30         <para>
31           You also need about 400 MB of available disk space for compilation.
32           The compiled libwine.so binary takes around 5 MB of disk space,
33           which can be reduced to about 1 MB by stripping ('strip wine').
34           Stripping is not recommended, however, as you can't submit
35           proper crash reports with a stripped binary.

42           If you get a repeatable sig11 compiling shellord.c, thunk.c
43           or other files, try compiling just that file without optimization
44           (removing the -Ox option from the GCC command in the
45           corresponding Makefile).
