Ubuntu 12.10 - anyone?

[Erich E. Hoover]

I just upgraded to 12.04, until they fix the "32-bit headers problem"
you'll have to manually create the symbolic links for the "-dev"
package behavior:

It is important to note that all the above assumes that you have all
the packages you need loaded in ":i386" form.  I have not included
packages that won't coinstall on amd64 or haven't gotten to work
(libhal, libgsm, gstreamer, libgphoto2).  If your setup is anything
like mine then you'll only need to add a couple more packages:
sudo apt-get install libosmesa6:i386 libosmesa-dev libjpeg-turbo8-dev:i386

It's possible that I'm missing a few links, but I've tested the above
configuration and it compiles and works for the few things I've opened
so far (Firefox, Borderlands, and Diablo III).

PS: You may need to work around Bug #30410
(http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30410), without that fix I
couldn't play Borderlands.

PPS: To get rid of an annoying gnome-keyring message I had to resort
to using getlibs (since gnome-keyring is not multi-arch):
wget https://launchpad.net/~jcollins/+archive/jaminppa/+build/1482994/+files/getlibs_2.06-0ubuntu1%7Eppa2_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i getlibs_2.06-0ubuntu1~ppa2_all.deb
getlibs -p gnome-keyring:i386
sudo mkdir /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/pkcs11; sudo ln -s
/usr/lib32/i386-linux-gnu/pkcs11/gnome-keyring-pkcs11.so
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/pkcs11/gnome-keyring-pkcs11.so
