It's not all that suprising.<BR /><BR />You'd have to walk through the specfile and the config.status to find out the precise differences.

From here do:<BR /><BR />rpmbuild -ba wine.spec<BR /><BR />Once that completes, you'll have RPMS in '/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/', and you'll have the built source in '/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/wine*', including the config information (which was generated by the 'configure' command during the build).
