Hi!<br>
<br>
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
<a href="http://winehq.org/site/download-deb" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://winehq.org/site/download-deb</a>, which explain how to build wine
from source. I tried this, but ran into a lot of problems.<br>
<br>
I got as far as running 'sudo apt-get --build source wine', and it spits out:<br>
<br>
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<br>
<br>
I solved this by installing the ia32-libs, ia32-libs-dev and ia32-libs-gtk packages.<br>
<br>
However the compilation failed again with:<br>
<br>
/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]: *** [<a href="http://ddraw.dll.so/" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">ddraw.dll.so</a>] Error 2

[build-stamp] Error 2 Build command 'cd wine-0.9.1-winehq &&
dpkg-buildpackage -b -uc' failed. E: Child process failed<br><br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
Then, the compilation failed with:<br>
<br>
../../tools/winegcc/winegcc -B../../tools/winebuild -shared

<br>
Has anyone encountered this problem? Better yet, has anyone succesfully built Wine on Ubuntu amd64?<br>
<br>
In any case, I think there should be some mention of this stuff on the
"Wine for Debian based distributions" page:

Thanks.<br>

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