Now I'm having problems trying to compile Wine.  Things roll along OK until we
get to the library linkage, then it can't find Xpm.  My Xpm files are in
/usr/i486-linuxaout/lib (where I moved them as part of the ELF routine).  Does
the "can't find" message mean that I need to get an ELF version of Xpm and put
it in /usr/X11R6/lib?  And the same for the next libraries up, Xext and X11?  If
that's the case, it sounds bothersome, and I might be better off compiling Wine
as a.out.  So, second question: How do I force the whole process to go a.out
instead of ELF?  I guess I need the compiler flag "-b i486-linuxaout", but do I
need to reset anything else?

Thanks for any help.

Questions related to wine are probably better off in
comp.emulators.ms-windows.wine.

I wouldn't have a problem with ELF if someone would write the linker/loader
so an application can use ELF libs *AND* the older libs!

I think this is a major compatability snafoo!
