Normally, installation should be as simple as installing the Wine package for your distribution through your package manager. Check the Downloads page. If you are building Wine from source, see Building Wine for instructions on how to build 32 bit Wine on a 64 bit system and instructions on how to build 64 bit Wine in a shared WoW64 setup.
