479. Compiling Wine 1.6 on Debian (using a chroot)

Update:
I noticed
configure: libOSMesa 32-bit development files not found (or too old), OpenGL rendering in bitmaps won't be supported.

popping up at the end of ./configure. I've added a fix for it based on http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=17713

Original post:
Here's a generic way of building Wine 1.6 which is now stable. And yes, it's the instructions for 1.5.28-1.6-rcX recycled.

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 you don't need to set up a new chroot to build 1.6. 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

And skip to 'Building wine'.

Otherwise do this:
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-1.6.tar.bz2

tar xvf wine-1.6.tar.bz2
cd wine-1.6/


Optional:
To avoid getting the

configure: libOSMesa 32-bit development files not found (or too old), OpenGL rendering in bitmaps won't be supported.

message, do the following:
1. Edit configure
 9450 LIBS="-lOSMesa -lGLU -lGL $X_LIBS $X_PRE_LIBS $XLIB -lm $X_EXTRA_LIBS $LIBS"

2. Also change
 9473     *) ac_cv_lib_soname_OSMesa=libOSMesa.so

Does it change anything? I don't know. But it removes the error message which is triggered by missing symbols so I think it does since the symbols are found in GLU/GL.
End optional.

Then do
./configure
time make -j3
sudo checkinstall --install=no

Installing Wine

Exit the chroot
sandbox@beryllium:~/tmp/wine-1.6$ 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-1.6/wine_1.6-1_i386.deb .
sudo chown $USER wine_1.6-1_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i wine_1.6-1_i386.deb

  1. Excellent guide. Helped me a lot.
    I used it with debian jessie and wine 1.7.0.
    I had to:
    sudo apt-get install liblcms2-2 liblcms2-dev
    Probably only liblcms2-dev is needed as replacement for liblcms-dev(which is maybe obsolete now in 1.7.0).

    Thanks.

    1. Thanks for the feedback -- I'll have a look at 1.7 later on.

  2. The package generated with this method will run in x86 platforms or in x86-64 ones? I ask because i am running Debian Wheezy 7.1 amd64.

    And what about this: http://wiki.winehq.org/Wine64? It says i just need to add option "--enable-win64" to "./configure" command. Can you talk about it please?

    1. It will run on i386 without having to do anything, and on amd64 if you enable multiarch (as shown in the post).

      As far as I understand --enable-win64 will give you wine for running 64 bit applications for windows. This is most likely NOT what you want, since up till recently most windows applications were 32 bit. However, I may well be wrong.

  4. It is possible to make a backup copy of $HOME/tmp/architectures/wine32 mount point? How?

    1. I can't test this for you, but it should be possible -- you obviously need to run rsync as sudo, and you may want to use the --no-links flag to avoid backing up symbolic links.

  6. Is good to install packages "liblcms2-2 liblcms2-dev liblcms2-utils" too, because ./configure get message "configure: liblcms2 32-bit development files not found, Color Management won't be supported.".

  7. Just tried this in LMDE (Jessie). Only changes were that I used a Debian mirror which was faster for me and I didn't use the configure editing section. It didn't give any error (maybe jessie fixes what ever was wrong). Thanks for your easy guide.

  8. Somebody was succeded to compile Wine 1.7.4 with this method? It is not working for me. Wine 1.7.3 work, but 1.7.4 not.

    1. See here for 1.7: http://verahill.blogspot.com.au/2013/08/497-compiling-wine-17-in-chroot-on.html

      Could you provide some more detail re what isn't working?
