Hi!
I've installed Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger) on an amd64 machine. I wanted to install wine and noticed that it is not packaged for amd64, but I did see the comments on the bottom of this page http://winehq.org/site/download-deb, which explain how to build wine from source. I tried this, but ran into alot of problems.
I got as far as running 'sudo apt-get --build source wine', and it spits out:
checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables See `config.log' for more details. make: *** [config.status] Error 77 Build command 'cd wine-0.9.1-winehq && dpkg-buildpackage -b -uc' failed. E: Child process failed
I solved this by installing the ia32-libs, ia32-libs-dev and ia32-libs-gtk packages.
However the compilation failed again with:
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libXext.a when searching for -lXext /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXext collect2: ld returned 1 exit status winegcc: gcc failed. make[3]: *** [ddraw.dll.so] Error 2 make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/drimbar/wine-0.9.1-winehq/dlls/ddraw' make[2]: *** [ddraw] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/drimbar/wine-0.9.1-winehq/dlls' make[1]: *** [dlls] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/drimbar/wine- 0.9.1-winehq' make: *** [build-stamp] Error 2 Build command 'cd wine-0.9.1-winehq && dpkg-buildpackage -b -uc' failed.
