You have to build it twice, to get two binaries "wine" and "wine64" and if you build them "properly" what happens when you attempt to execute a 64bit app with "wine" it's automatically relaunched with "wine64" But the reverse is NOT true. -- Chuck Burns The Southern Libertarian http://www.thesouthernlibertarian.com/
