To compile and run Wine, you must have one of the following:
Linux version 2.0.36 or above
FreeBSD 4.x or FreeBSD 5-CURRENT
FreeBSD 4.x or FreeBSD 5-CURRENT or later
Solaris x86 2.5 or later
NetBSD-current
As Wine requires kernel-level thread support to run, only the operating
systems mentioned above are supported.
Other operating systems which support kernel threads may be supported
in the future.
Linux info:
Although Linux version 2.0.x will mostly work, certain features
(specifically LDT sharing) required for properly supporting Win32
threads were not implemented until kernel version 2.2. If you get
consistent thread-related crashes, you may want to upgrade to at least 2.2.
Also, some bugs were fixed and additional features were added
late in the Linux 2.0.x series, so if you have a very old Linux kernel,
you may want to upgrade to at least the latest 2.0.x release.
While Linux 2.2.x should still work and Linux 2.0.x may still work
(older 2.0.x versions had thread-related crashes),
it's best to have a current kernel such as 2.4.x.

Wine requires kernel-level threads to run. Currently, only Linux
version 2.0 or later, FreeBSD 4.x or later, Solaris x86 version 2.5
or later, and NetBSD-current are supported.
Other operating systems which support kernel threads may be supported
in the future.
Basic requirements:
You need to have the X11 development include files installed
(called xlib6g-dev in Debian and XFree86-devel in RedHat).
To use Wine's support for multi-threaded applications, your X libraries
must be reentrant, which is probably the default by now.
If you have libc6 (glibc2), or you compiled the X libraries yourself,
they were probably compiled with the reentrant option enabled.
Build tool requirements:
On x86 Systems gcc >= 2.7.2 is required.
Versions earlier than 2.7.2.3 may have problems when certain files
are compiled with optimization, often due to problems with header file

packages.
