Building Wine on Ubuntu / Kubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron)

Building Wine on Ubuntu / Kubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron)

The build dependencies in the released Wine package should be almost all you need

sudo apt-get build-dep wine

On Debian you may need to add some more, or run the build-dep command after adding the AptRepository.

Wine's configure requires .so links, and for some reason Ubuntu 64 bit doesn't make .so links for the 32 bit libraries. Accordingly, to avoid missing libraries and compile smoothly you'll have to do some linking by hand.

You can make these links in a temporary folder within the wine tree.

It is ok if you delete this directory after compiling Wine (configure is linking to the real libs, not the symlinks we just made)

Run configure, build and install with:

CC="gcc-4.2 -m32" LDFLAGS="-L/lib32 -L/usr/lib32 -L`pwd`/lib32 -Wl,-rpath,/lib32 -Wl,-rpath,/usr/lib32" ./configure -v
make
sudo make install

If all needed libraries are present there will be no missing-library warnings or errors anywhere. If you find that this process misses a library, then it means we are either missing a link or the ia32-libs package is missing the 32 bit version of the library. In either case, contact the Ubuntu package maintainer, Scott Ritchie, so things can be fixed.

We explicitly set CC="gcc-4.2 -m32", although gcc 4.2 is the default now. You can use another to test differences - see our page on GccVersions

If sound doesn't work for you, try using pasuspender and testing your sound with the ALSA driver.

pasuspender winecfg

You can launch applications similarly:

pasuspender wine app.exe
