WineHQ 10.4 on Fedora 42

Post by Liwads »

Hello,

I'm sorry I have to bother you with my niub questions, but I'm new to Linux in general and really dumb. So, please, bear with me!
I am trying to compile Wine for Fedora 42. I'm at the "./configure" part, but I get this error "configure: error: Cannot build a 32-bit program, you need to install 32-bit development libraries.".
I tried to search the web for installing those libraries on Fedora, with no luck. Everything brings me to debian-based Linux and I have no idea how to install them on my OS.

Could you please help me?
Thank you very much!

I know you specifically asked about compiling Wine, however you did say
I'm new to Linux in general and really dumb
...so I am going to suggest that intead of compiling Wine (building from the code from scratch :shock: ) you install from a binary (like a .exe file in Windows).

The instruction are here and very straightforward :D :
