------- Additional Comments From ajackson@bcs.org.uk 2006-29-10 07:15 ------- Fairly easy fix for this when your run ./configure run it like this:
./configure CFLAGS=-fno-stack-protector
The default under *ubuntu is for the stack protector flag to be enabled which causes the wine preloader to crash, turn it off and wine compiles fine and works without any noticable problems.
