How to build Wine on X86_64 for getting X86 wine?

[freedomBird]

Hi, everyone.
I can build Wine on the architecture of X86_64 and I get the running environment of wine64. But I want to run the executable file of x86_32, now I can't build the wine for running x86_32 applications. How can I do that building 32bit of wine on X86_64? Please help me, thanks

On what OS / Linux distribution?
Any end-goal?
Or just for the learning experience?

My end-goal is to be able to build a Wine on a 64-bit Linux that can run both 32-bit Windows applications and run 64-bit Windows applications.

Thanks,

That version of Fedora went EOL three years ago. You really should upgrade.

Fedora has good multilib support, so you should be able to build 32 bit Wine on it without needing a container/chroot; the basic instructions I linked to above should work. Just make sure you have the needed 32 bit dependencies installed. https://wiki.winehq.org/Fedora has a list of the packages.

I'm thinking my secondary install of Fedora 27, is getting a bit long in the tooth, on my main laptop.
That's bearing in mind I don't even use this OS (mainly I use Gentoo)...

Fedora 29 is the current release.

Fedora 21 went EOL on 01 Dec 2015...!!

There are WineHQ OBS packages available for Fedora 29.
No need to compile from source, without a compelling reason to do so (like running Gentoo for example)...
