How much disk space will the Wine source code and binaries take on my hard drive?

You need approximately 750 megabytes of free hard drive space to store and compile the source code. Wine also needs about 18 megs in your /tmp directory. And about 50 MB are needed to do a make install. Binary packages, especially those not containing debug information, have much lower disk space requirements, usually in the 30MB range.

If you can run X smoothly on your Unix system now, you should be able to run Wine and MS Windows applications just fine too. A Wine workstation should realistically have at least 8 megabytes of RAM and a 12 megabyte swap partition. More is better, of course.
