New subject: Compiling wine on Ubuntu amd64

      I apologize, but it seems only half the mail was sent! Anyway, Here is what

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 a
lot 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. E: Child process
failed
I realized that the ia32-libs did not include the required 32-bit X
libraries. I downloaded the libXext package and manually extracted
libXext.so.6.4.1 to /usr/lib32, and created a symlink at
/usr/lib32/libXext.so. I did the same for libXxf86dga, libXxf86vm, libdrm
and libX11.
I also encountered another quirk, and needed to install libxt-dev, because
the header file /usr/include/X11/Intrinsic.h was missing. The Wine package
should probably depend on libxt-dev.
Then, the compilation failed with:
../../tools/winegcc/winegcc -B../../tools/winebuild -shared ./gdi32.spec

Has anyone encountered this problem? Better yet, has anyone succesfully
built Wine on Ubuntu amd64?
In any case, I think there should be some mention of this stuff on the "Wine
for Debian based distributions" page: http://winehq.org/site/download-deb
Thanks.

Hi.  You need to find out which X server you are using (Xorg or
XFree86), and the devel package for it.  Best bet is to find your Ubuntu
CD(s) and look thru there for XFree* or Xorg*, install anything
mentioning devel that starts with either of those..
