I ran into pretty much the same set of problems with Wine on Debian
Testing. However some development packages are already
multiarch-compatible so I installed them and created a bit fewer
symbolic links than you. In particular I was able to install the
following i386 development packages:
libasound2-dev:i386
libcapi20-dev:i386
libjpeg8-dev:i386
liblcms1-dev:i386
libldap2-dev:i386
libmpg123-dev:i386
libopenal-dev:i386
libtinfo-dev:i386 (needed for ncurses)
libv4l-dev:i386
libx11-dev:i386
libxau-dev:i386
libxcb1-dev:i386
libxinerama-dev:i386
libxml2-dev:i386
libxrender-dev:i386
zlib1g-dev:i386
I also made a list of the packages that need to be fixed in order for
work on Wine to be possible without so much complication, and made sure
we have bugs to track the status of each of them. I am sure the
maintainers would appreciate some help so here are the multiarch fixes
needed for Wine development:
* These all seem to be fixable trivially. Double-check and submit a
patch? The Debian freeze might block your efforts though :-(
libfontconfig1-dev - #677885
libgl1-mesa-dev - #678040, #689088
libglu1-mesa-dev - #678040, #689089
libgnutls-dev - #678070
libosmesa6-dev - #678040
libxcomposite-dev - #689082
libxfixes-dev - #677657
libxrandr-dev - #678895
libxvmc1 - #640499 (well the work seems to have been done in any case)
libxxf86vm-dev - #678898
* These have yet to be analyzed to figure out if there are obstacles
or not.
libcups2-dev - #689084
libgphoto2-2-dev - #689083
libgstreamer0.10-dev - #689090
libnss-mdns - #686984
libpng12-dev - #689092, #673642
libsane-dev - #689073, #672495
libxi-dev - #689068
* The freetype-config tool is the point of contention.
libfreetype6-dev - #666761
* The point of contention here is xslt-config. This is probably
somewhat similar to the freetype-config issue.
libxslt1-dev - #689091
* These have platform-dependent headers which makes fixing much harder.
Either the headers can be made platform-independent upstream
(assuming it even makes sense), or it will have to wait for the
build toolchain to be updated:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MultiarchSpec#Co-installable_-dev_packages
libdbus-1-dev - #689071
libncurses5-dev / libncursesw5-dev - #689131, #646761, #646977
libssl-dev - #689093, #638137
libtiff4-dev - #689085
* The maintainer says that any application that still uses HAL is buggy
and that he will not fix this package :-(
libhal1, libhal1-dev - #638839
* Broken by other packages. See above.
libxcursor-dev - broken by libxfixes-dev
libgl1-nvidia-glx - broken by libxvmc1
* These are not needed by Wine but I need them to compile other stuff
so I'm including them here. For most of these the GObject
introspection data causes trouble.
libatk1.0-dev - #689124 (to be checked)
libcairo2-dev - #689122 (to be checked)
libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev - #689125 (introspection)
libglib2.0-dev - #683593 (likely introspection)
libgtk2.0-dev - #689097 (introspection)
libpango1.0-dev - #683592 (trivial)
