Bug ID: 46873
           Summary: Problem with finding the "names of dev libraries" in
                    installing wine 64bit from source
           Product: Packaging
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-packages
          Assignee: [e-mail]

I had problem with finding the "names of dev libraries" in installing wine
64bit from source.

I dont know if you can provide a list, cause the names of libraries may change.
however, you may provide some guidelines for some linux distributions.

Sincerely,
Elias Tsolis

e.g. unable to find how to install these ones

configure: OSS sound system found but too old (OSSv4 needed), OSS won't be
supported.
configure: libFAudio 64-bit development files not found, XAudio2 won't be
supported.
configure: vkd3d 64-bit development files not found (or too old), Direct3D 12
won't be supported.

e.g. Unable to find the names of libFAudio or vkd3d with using libvkd3d-dev 
"name".
e.g. unable to find the "name" libFAudio at all in kubuntu.

e.g. also I had a very hard time to "find" the proper way to install
libgstreamer.... there are so many out there....!

I dont know what to do to simplify that process... and "how much" such names
change between linux distributions

Not a Wine bug, and not a WineHQ packaging bug, either.

Package names vary by distro; there is no way for us to provide a list. It is
up to users to become familiar with their distro's packaging conventions.

Regarding the specific packages you mention, I can tell you that OSSv4 and
FAudio are not packaged by Ubuntu at all and the version of vkd3d packaged by
Ubuntu for cosmic is too old for Wine 4.4 and later.

The user support forum is at https://forum.winehq.org/, and that's where this
question should have been posted.

To be fair, it would probably be a good idea to put an extended guide to
dependencies on the wiki or somewhere. It's not obvious to the user that e.g.
you don't need OSS.

I guess that's just another entry to the list of "wiki pages someone needs to
write".
