Compiling 32bit wine problem with 32 bit package

[Bladeforce]

Hi, I'm currently in the process of trying to sort a wine bug out but I'm having problems
Ive compiled the 64bit build but i am stuck on where to point the pkg_config_path for the 32 bit libraries. I have installed them with the command sudo apt build-dep wine.
Every time i invoke configure it complains it cant find the 32 bit libraries. 64 bit was fine
I can see all the .pc files in the location /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/

Building 32-bit Wine on a 64-bit Debian/Ubuntu/Mint system can be very difficult due to broken/missing multi-arch packages.
Fortunately Bob Wya made a script to build Wine from source on Debian/Ubuntu/Mint.

Thanks but the idea is to compile it with a patch one of the devs has given me so automation in this regard won't help. I actually have the required 32 bit packages installed but compiling wine doesnt see them with the PKG_CONFIG_PATH=

How are you (attempting to) set that and run configure? 'PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/pkgconfig ./configure' should work, I think. Or just export it. What distro are you running, btw?

also fyi that script handles patches, or is supposed to anyway I don't think I've done so myself.

also also if what you're testing is 32-bit you can probably just build 32-bit wine and skip the headaches.

Why not? My build script is designed to handle both multiple user patch directories (or individual patches) and can (optionally) apply the Wine Staging patchsets.

I can't guarantee it will always build the latest version of Wine / Wine Staging - but I'm happy to push updates to fix any issues you encounter...
