<para>
In case you downloaded Wine source code files, this chapter will
tell you how to compile it into binary files before installing them.
Otherwise, please proceed directly to the <link
linkend="installing">Installation chapter</link> to install the
binary Wine files.

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

<title>Space required</title>
<para>
You also need about 400 MB of available disk space for compilation.
2000-12-13 22:52:37 +01:00
The compiled libwine.so binary takes around 5 MB of disk space,
which can be reduced to about 1 MB by stripping ('strip wine').
Stripping is not recommended, however, as you can't submit
proper crash reports with a stripped binary.

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