On Ubuntu, "sudo apt-get build-dep wine" error

[jalway]

Hello,

I have Ubuntu 16.04, 64-bit version in VirtualBox (windows 10 host). I'm attempting to build Wine from the source according to these instructions:
https://wiki.winehq.org/Building_Biarch_Wine_On_Ubuntu

When I get to this command:
"sudo apt-get build-dep wine"

It gives me the following error:
"E: You must put some 'source' URIs in your sources.list"

I'm not sure how to resolve this. I'm hoping for some ideas.

Thanks!
...John

The error is kinda self-explanatory... You need to add SOURCE repo's to apt.

Basically tick the "source" box, and THEN do sudo apt build-dep wine.

Thank you for that!

I've run into another issue. I'm in the Linux Container...

I ran
apt-get update

and I get the following error:
E: Failed to fetch https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubunt ... 6/Packages

It can't fetch the 32 bit binaries.

Any ideas?

Regards,

Update...

Apparently it was able to revert to "old" binaries, so I didn't have to do anything. I was then able to go through all of the configure and compile steps and install Wine on my Ubuntu 16.04 OS. I then installed Notepad++ and ran my first Windows application Ubuntu with Wine. It worked great!
