WoW64 on Debian

[mike3]

Hi.

I asked here once about installing 32-bit Wine from source code on Debian:

viewtopic.php?f=8&t=19010

and a method was mentioned involving using "chroot" and setting up a faux Debian 32-bit system to compile with. But what about if we want to build a shared WoW64 setup? What do you do then?

Thanks.

We don't have explicit instructions for Debian, but we do have them for Ubuntu, which might help you get started figuring out how to do it on Debian. http://wiki.winehq.org/BuildingBiarchWineOnUbuntu

Well, I've tried combining the instructions from this page, from the "Wine64" page, and from Lindqvist's page. I first unzipped and compiled a 64-bit Wine with win64 in a "wine64" folder, then by following Lindqvist's instructions set up a chrooted Debian 32-bit barebones system, bound my home folder to that system, then went into it and created a "wine32" folder in my home, and tried to configure, and this is what I get:

Code: Select all

$ ../wine-1.7.28/configure --with-wine64=../wine64

...

configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Make.tmp
config.status: creating include/config.h
config.status: linking ../wine-1.7.28/loader/l_intl.nls to loader/l_intl.nls
config.status: linking ../wine-1.7.28/po/LINGUAS to po/LINGUAS
config.status: linking ../wine-1.7.28/tools/winewrapper to wine
config.status: executing include/stamp-h commands
config.status: executing Makefile commands
./config.status: line 551: ../wine64/tools/makedep: No such file or directory
config.status: error: could not create Makefile

ERROR! What is wrong here? I can "ls ../wine64/tools/makedep" and it's there alright... so why is it unable to find it?

ADD: I managed to get it to go. I needed the 32-bit tools build just as was used in the Ubuntu setup -- didn't quite get what the point of that was at first.
