How to compile wine

No special flags are needed, really. Audio is supported out-of-the-box.

Here are the commands you'll need to run to get Wine up and running, straight from the source.

sudo -s
cd /tmp
wget http://winezeug.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/install-wine-deps.sh
sh install-wine-deps.sh
wget http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/wine/source/1.5/wine-1.5.9.tar.bz2
tar xjvf wine-1.5.9.tar.bz2
cd wine-1.5.9/
./configure
make
make install

Here's what the commands actually do:

Drop to a root shell

Go to the temp folder

Download the Wine dependency installer script

Run the Wine dependency installer script

Download the Wine source

Extract the Wine source

Enter the Wine source directory

Run the configuration script

Compile Wine

Install Wine

Note: Don't do this on an actively used server with insufficient ressources.. This slowed my Nagios server to a crawl! :)
