It would be nice but there is a bug in Solaris XLib that wine tickles so for the moment you need to use a third party XLib. Hence LD_OPTIONS must be set to serch /usr/X11R6/lib first. configure does detect Xfree86 but Xsun gets used by default where both are present. This is a very common configuration. Since configure has strictly the correct default behaviour (aside from the fact it doesn't work) I wanted to override it in wineinstall rather than get autoconf to prefer Xfree86! Ultimately I am hoping Sun will follow my advice and fix their xlib. It could also be due to the threding implementation using _lwps which aren't guaranteed safe Besides wineinstall already had a section to add os specifics I just automated mine and thought it'd be a useful addition.
