433. Wine 1.5.31 on Debian

Here's a generic way of building wine which works for 1.5.31 (and 1.5.28 and everything in between except 1.5.31).

See here for information about 3D acceleration using libGL/U with Wine: http://verahill.blogspot.com.au/2013/05/429-briefly-wine-libglliubglu-blender.html

Getting started:
If you set up a e.g. chroot to build 1.5.28 before, you don't need to set up a new chroot to build 1.5.31. In that case, skip the set-up step below and instead re-enter your existing chroot like this:

sudo mount -o bind /proc wine32/proc
sudo cp /etc/resolv.conf wine32/etc/resolv.conf
sudo chroot wine32
su sandbox

cd ~/tmp

Setting up the Chroot

sudo apt-get install debootstrap
mkdir $HOME/tmp/architectures/wine32 -p
cd $HOME/tmp/architectures
sudo debootstrap --arch i386 wheezy $HOME/tmp/architectures/wine32 http://ftp.au.debian.org/debian/
sudo mount -o bind /proc wine32/proc
sudo cp /etc/resolv.conf wine32/etc/resolv.conf
sudo chroot wine32

You're now in the chroot:

apt-get update
apt-get install locales sudo vim
echo 'export LC_ALL="C"'>>/etc/bash.bashrc
echo 'export LANG="C"'>>/etc/bash.bashrc
echo '127.0.0.1 localhost beryllium' >> /etc/hosts
source /etc/bash.bashrc
adduser sandbox
usermod -g sudo sandbox
echo 'Defaults !tty_tickets' >> /etc/sudoers
su sandbox
cd ~/

Replace 'beryllium' with the name your host system (it's just to suppress error messages)

Building Wine
While still in the chroot, continue (the i386 is ok; don't worry about it -- you don't actually need it):

sudo apt-get install libx11-dev:i386 libfreetype6-dev:i386 libxcursor-dev:i386 libxi-dev:i386 libxxf86vm-dev:i386 libxrandr-dev:i386 libxinerama-dev:i386 libxcomposite-dev:i386 libglu-dev:i386 libosmesa-dev:i386 libglu-dev:i386 libosmesa-dev:i386 libdbus-1-dev:i386 libgnutls-dev:i386 libncurses-dev:i386 libsane-dev:i386 libv4l-dev:i386 libgphoto2-2-dev:i386 liblcms-dev:i386 libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev:i386 libcapi20-dev:i386 libcups2-dev:i386 libfontconfig-dev:i386 libgsm1-dev:i386 libtiff-dev:i386 libpng-dev:i386 libjpeg-dev:i386 libmpg123-dev:i386 libopenal-dev:i386 libldap-dev:i386 libxrender-dev:i386 libxml2-dev:i386 libxslt-dev:i386 libhal-dev:i386 gettext:i386 prelink:i386 bzip2:i386 bison:i386 flex:i386 oss4-dev:i386 checkinstall:i386 ocl-icd-libopencl1:i386 opencl-headers:i386 libasound2-dev:i386 build-essential

mkdir ~/tmp
cd ~/tmp
wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wine/wine-1.5.31.tar.bz2
tar xvf wine-1.5.31.tar.bz2
cd wine-1.5.31/./configure
time make -j3
sudo checkinstall --install=no

This package will be built according to these values: 

0 -  Maintainer: [ root@beryllium ]
1 -  Summary: [ wine 1.5.31]
2 -  Name:    [ wine ]
3 -  Version: [ 1.5.31]
4 -  Release: [ 1 ]
5 -  License: [ GPL ]
6 -  Group:   [ checkinstall ]
7 -  Architecture: [ i386 ]
8 -  Source location: [ wine-1.5.31 ]
9 -  Alternate source location: [  ]
10 - Requires: [  ]
11 - Provides: [ wine ]
12 - Conflicts: [  ]
13 - Replaces: [  ]

Checkinstall takes a little while (In particular this step: 'Copying files to the temporary directory...').

Installing Wine

Exit the chroot

sandbox@beryllium:~/tmp/wine-1.5.31$ exit
exit
root@beryllium:/# exit
exit
me@beryllium:~/tmp/architectures$ 

On your host system
 Enable multiarch* and install ia32-libs, since you've built a proper 32 bit binary:

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

*At some point I think ia32-libs may be replaced by proper multiarch packages, but maybe not. So we're kind of doing both here.

 Copy the .deb package and install it

sudo cp wine32/home/sandbox/tmp/wine-1.5.31/wine_1.5.31-1_i386.deb .
sudo chown $USER wine_1.5.31-1_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i wine_1.5.31-1_i386.deb
