Compiling wine on Ubuntu amd64

[James Trotter]

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
