[wplug] xWindows config examples

I have a user trying to get a windows app working on Linux. Wine of course
was my weapon of choice. I downloaded the latest tarball unpacked it. The
README file says to run "./tools/wineinstall". The install immediately pukes
saying to run this as a non root user. I make a user called 'wine' and 'su -
wine' and run "./tools/wineinstall" it runs the following....
....snip...
config.status: executing windows commands

Configure finished.  Do 'make depend && make' to compile Wine.


We need to install wine as root user, do you want us to build wine,
'su root' and install Wine?  Enter 'no' to continue without installing
(yes/no) yes

/usr/local/lib doesn't exist in your /etc/ld.so.conf, it will be added
when we perform the install...

Compiling WINE. Grab a lunch or two, rent a video, or whatever,
in the meantime...

rm -f wine && ln -s ./tools/winewrapper wine
make[1]: Entering directory `/tmp/wine-20031016/libs'
make[1]: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/wine-20031016/libs'
make: *** [libs] Error 2
cd ./tools && make `basename tools/makedep`
make[1]: Entering directory `/tmp/wine-20031016/tools'
cc     makedep.c   -o makedep
makedep.c:21:20: config.h: No such file or directory
makedep.c:23:23: wine/port.h: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [makedep] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/wine-20031016/tools'
make: *** [tools/makedep] Error 2

Compilation failed, aborting install.
[wine at toybox wine-20031016]$ 
*********************
There is no "Make" file in "/tmp/wine-20031016/libs " any pointers?

Ok so I try kill the tarball and start from original and follow the sequence
to "./configure" -> "make depend && make " per the README doc. Seems to go
ok until

...snip...
-lwine_port  -lm  -lc
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [x11drv.dll.so] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/tmp/wine-20031016/dlls/x11drv'
make[1]: *** [x11drv] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/wine-20031016/dlls'
make: *** [dlls] Error 2
[root at toybox wine-20031016]#

Run out of ideas... I got wine to install once a few days ago on a separate
box (which has sense been installed as Lindows) but I don't remember their
being any errors on the install, just missing example wine.conf files (which
is what I was going to originally post as a question until I started running
into this crap.)

Thx.
