How get 32-bit dependencies on 64-bit Ubuntu

Post by susancragin »

If I want to compile from source, how do I get dependencies?

The how-to says that all dependencies are downloadable with apt-get but that's not true for blended wine on 64-bit Ubuntu.

apt-get build-dep wine1.5 gets the 64-bit libraries only.

apt-get build-dep wine1.5-386 and 386:386 gets "unable to find source package."

Using the script install-wine-deps.sh gives me a message that it can't find 32-bit libraries for my version of Ubuntu, which is Precise 64-bit.

There seems to be no current list of Precise 32-bit packages so I can install them myself.

Any ideas?

Until Ubuntu completes its transition to multilib, you're
kind of screwed; you have to use a chroot on ubuntu 12.04
to build 32 bit wine on a 64 bit system.

PPA

For right now, I guess the best way to get pre-release wine is not to compile it myself, but to activate Ubuntu's ppa packag, which seems to give fairly frequent updates.
Thanks for your help!
