5.3. Verification of correct configuration

After you finished configuring Wine, you may run a Perl script called winecheck, to be found in Wine's tools/ directory. It tries to check your configuration's correctness by checking for some popular problems. The latest version can always be found at http://home.arcor.de/andi.mohr/download/winecheck. To run it, run in a terminal in the Wine source tree directory:

  $ cd tools
  $ perl ./winecheck
      

The winecheck output will be a percentage score indicating Wine configuration correctness. Note that winecheck is only alpha, so it's not very complete or 100% accurate.

If this yields a "good" percentage score, then you can consider your Wine installation to be finished successfully: Congratulations! Otherwise (or if there are still some configuration problems that winecheck doesn't catch properly), please check out the configuration documentation below to find out more about some parts, or proceed to the Troubleshooting chapter.
