X 32-bit dev. files not found - Can't build wine on Wheezy

[nerdyluke]

Hi,

I just upgraded to Debian Wheezy and I'm trying to build wine 1.4.1 from source. I could compile it easily on Squeeze but it seems to be problematic with Wheezy. Here's the ./configure output:

Code: Select all

checking for X... no
configure: error: X 32-bit development files not found. Wine will be built
without X support, which probably isn't what you want. You will need to install
32-bit development packages of Xlib/Xfree86 at the very least.
Use the --without-x option if you really want this.

I've done some research and it seems I need the ia32-libs-dev package, which is not available in wheezy anymore... Has anyone managed to build wine successfully on wheezy?

Thank you very much

ok, I've done some more research and have sort of found a solution to pass the ./configure through enabling multiarch and downloading the required lib:

Code: Select all

dpkg --add-architecture i386
apt-get update
apt-get install libx11-dev:i386

I had to disable a lot of optional stuff, wine is making right now, ill see if it works

Ok, sorry for triple post, the problem comes from the fact that multiarch does not allow to install both xxx-dev:i386 and xxx-dev:amd64 packages yet.

I've been able to compile wine 1.4.1 with everything enabled by using a chrooted environment as described here http://verahill.blogspot.com.au/2013/04 ... hroot.html

I hope multiarch will improve in the near future because this method might be a bit comlicated from novice users
