Compilation problem in Mint.

[Giorgos]

Hi!

I wanted to compile the latest Wine version at the Mint 17.2 x64 (which is Ubuntu LTS based).

I was trying to configure the installation, but I received the error: "configure: libhal development files not found, no legacy dynamic device support".
Seems like it needs the HAL development files, but libhal-dev has removed from Ubuntu repositories.

Is it possible to enable "legacy dynamic device support", without it?
Is "legacy dynamic device support" important?
Am I missing something important, if I compile Wine, without "legacy dynamic device support"?

TIA!
Merry Christmas!!!

No.

Not unless you're on a system that still uses HAL, which is unlikely, given that HAL has been deprecated for years.

THANKS!!!

I build the x64 arch!

However, when I tried to build the x32 arch, giving "./configure --with-wine64=../wine64", I received the error: "You should create a separate build directory and run configure from there. configure: error: --with-wine64 cannot be used when building inside the source tree".

I have the already built directory /home/giorgos/TEMPG/wine64/ and I'm trying to build at /home/giorgos/TEMPG/wine32/.
Am I doing, something wrong?

You need to build inside a chroot or container. Follow these instructions: http://wiki.winehq.org/BuildingBiarchWineOnUbuntu.

Oh I see!
I tried to install LXC, but seems like LXC is broken - buggy at Ubuntu.

I think I'll stick to the official PPA binaries.
THANKS AGAIN!!!
