Compile Wine-0.9.42 in Terminal

Asked by Alan Goldstone

Opened Terminal and tried to set path with CD command . Terminal tells me there's no directory named Wine-0.9.42/tools/ when that's where the configure file resides that I'm trying to access. Command ./Configure is needed to start the process of compiling Wine.
Thanks for any help you can offer

Thanks for your response.
The command ls-l response was cmd not found
The cmd ls-l~/wine-0.9.42 response was no such file or directory. Same reponse to the last entry.

sudo locate wine-0.9.42 created /var/cache/apt/archives/wine_0.9.42-winehq0~ubuntu-7.04-1_i386.deb.

The terminal does not recognise and Unis commands and it's got me to the point I may just forget the whole thing.

The commands must be given with the right syntax.
For instance, it is not ls-l, it is ls -l (note the space between ls and -l).

Putting the space in the command solved the problem. Where do I get a list of the commands to use in the terminal?
I used ls --help and got a list but it does not contain the command locate which helped me to find several files. However, copied some directories into /home/ala@alan-desktop and locate cant find them.
Also when I try to run an exe file with wine it defaults to L"C:\\Windows\\system32\\filename and then tells me the file can't be found.
Do I have to go to the Registry to change the default path? And what do I change it to?
Thanks,
