[Mono-winforms-list] Mono and Wine

[Peter Dennis Bartok]

When configuring winelib, you *must* specify --with-wine=<wine prefix>
and -prefix=<prefix> unless you have both wine and mono installed into
/usr/local.

For example, if you have the wine dlls in /usr/lib/wine and mono in
/usr/bin, you would do the following sequence:

cd winelib
./configure --with-wine=/usr -prefix=/usr
make
make install

The winelib binary contains a reference to itself, and when it is being
compiled it must get the right path compiled in.

Cheers,
 Peter
