Only this: don't. :)
Build native apps for Linux and enjoy better performance and a simpler
experience.
It's been a few years since I used WINE, and it may well be that my
experience with it back then bears no resemblance to how it runs today.
But it felt very much a workaround, and the range of component it added
to my system eventually created a conflict with something else.
WINE helped make me a big fan of VirtualBox. :)
If it's for testing Windows compatibility, the emulation won't tell you
nearly as much as running a full Windows system in a VM.
And if all you want is to run a LiveCode app, a Linux-native build is
just one click away....
