state of wine on amd64 with ia32

[Christoph Frick]

hiho

can someone enlightenme, what the current state of this is? i run a dual
opteron with ubuntu linux on it. after some symlinking with the
ia32-libs and a change in wine (SYS_sigaction -> SYS_rt_sigaction (read
this in a very old post from 2004 or so) it finally compiled (using
gcc-4.0 -m32). but as soon as i start either wine app i end up on the
comand-line. i have not investigated this further - i just want to have
a pointer if this works ok or if i am better off with running 32bit
linux for wine on the box.

If you need to change wine it means your 32-bit build environment is
broken, you are not using the correct 32-bit kernel headers.

The distributor needs to setup a correct 32bit enviroment...

In your case it is likely missing the 2 /usr/include/asm-XXX/ directories,
seperated by WORDSIZE #ifs in /usr/include/asm/ wrappers. (a glibc problem).

Also 32bit development and runtime libraries must correctly be setup.

Works fine for me for the last 2 years.
