--- Comment #3 from John subs@qcontinuum.plus.com --- Hans, thank you for taking the time to look at this and provide a patch, but unfortunately I am not sure how to install it as you suggest?
By the current WINE, I presume you mean the current sources. I am not very experienced with that, but I tried following the instructions for downloading from the GIT but unfortunately didn't get very far:
"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 at the very least. Use the --without-x option if you really want this."
Quite frankly, I don't want a pile of 32-bit stuff on my 64-bit system as I don't have an abundance of space anyway, but I suppose if this is the only way, then I am willing to have another try. I'm not sure if I'm up to the task and would need to know the next steps to take and what the required pre-requisites are? I searched apt for Xlib and found a lot of stuff relating to python and ruby, but am not really sure what I should be installing. The online instructions do not seem to provide this information either, so any further help would be appreciated.
