I'm trying to install Winetricks using the instructions from the GitHub repo, but I'm stuck. I've reached the step where I need to extract the archive, change into the extracted directory, and run 'sudo make install'. However, I ran into an error: 'make: *** No rule to make target 'install'. Stop.' I'm confused about whether I should also extract two other archives in the directory (control.tar.zst and data.tar.zst) to proceed. Any suggestions? By the way, I'm using Mint 22.1.

If you're using the GitHub method, no need to worry about those .zst files just yet. The error you're seeing usually indicates that the Makefile isn't configured for installation. Instead, check if you can find Winetricks in your software center—it's usually in Discover on Mint. If you don't see it, you can install Discover using `sudo apt install plasma-discover` and then check again.
It sounds like you might be having an issue with the archive you downloaded. If you haven't done so already, try using the package manager to install Winetricks: `sudo apt install winetricks`. It could save you some hassle since manual installations can get tricky. Also, make sure your dependencies are all set up! Let us know if that works for you!
I had a similar issue. Make sure you're in the correct directory where the Makefile is located. You shouldn't need to extract those other files unless the installation instructions specify so. If you're still stuck, try downloading the right version of Winetricks again, but make sure it’s not a package version; go for the .tar.gz if possible.
