287. Compiling Wine 1.5.5 from source using the carbon-dev deb patches

UPDATE 16 May 2013: See here for Wine 1.5.30: http://verahill.blogspot.com.au/2013/05/416-wine-1530-in-chroot.html

UPDATE (10th Jan 2013): See here for Wine 1.5.21 using the multiarch approach: http://verahill.blogspot.com.au/2013/01/308-compiling-wine-1521-on-debian.html
. Use the updated build instead of what follows below.

Here's how to build the wine 1.5.5 packages without any errors.

I'm cheating and using the debian rules from dev.carbon-project.org.-- it's a small file and is a better solution than downloading the deb files from there.

Note that you will probably need more packages than the ones listed here.

1. Download the source and debian build patches

sudo apt-get install bzip2
cd ~/tmp
mkdir wine-1.5.5_carbon/
cd wine-1.5.5_carbon/
wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/wine/files/Source/wine-1.5.5.tar.bz2
mv wine-1.5.5.tar.bz2 wine-unstable_1.5.5.orig.tar.bz2
tar xvf wine-unstable_1.5.5.orig.tar.bz2
cd wine-1.5.5/
wget http://dev.carbon-project.org/debian/wine-unstable/wine-unstable_1.5.5-0.1.debian.tar.bz2
tar xvf wine-unstable_1.5.5-0.1.debian.tar.bz2
rm wine-unstable_1.5.5-0.1.debian.tar.bz2 

2.  Edit control, control.in and rules
Allow any version of gcc (this may obviously backfire if your version is no good)
Edit debian/control and control.in

 27  gcc-4.5-multilib [amd64 kfreebsd-amd64], gcc-4.5 [amd64 kfreebsd-amd64]
 28  g++-4.5 [amd64 kfreebsd-amd64],

so that is says

 27  gcc-multilib [amd64 kfreebsd-amd64], gcc [amd64 kfreebsd-amd64],
 28  g++ [amd64 kfreebsd-amd64],

Edit debian/rules

 53 ifeq ($(DEB_HOST_GNU_CPU),x86_64)
 54 CC=gcc-4.5
 55 CXX=g++-4.5
 56 else
 57 CC=gcc
 58 CXX=g++

to say

 53 ifeq ($(DEB_HOST_GNU_CPU),x86_64)
 54 CC=gcc
 55 CXX=g++
 56 else
 57 CC=gcc
 58 CXX=g++

2. Get dependencies
Note that this list is based on a very old post -- some packages may not be needed.

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs ia32-libs-dev bison flex gcc libc6-dev libfontconfig-dev libfreetype6-dev libglu-dev libgsm1-dev libice-dev libjpeg-dev libldap-dev libmpg123-dev libncurses5-dev libopenal-dev libpng-dev libsm-dev libssl-dev libusb-dev libx11-dev libxcomposite-dev libxcursor-dev libxext-dev libxi-dev libxinerama-dev libxml2-dev libxrandr-dev libxrender-dev libxslt-dev libxt-dev libxxf86vm-dev make libcapi20-dev liblcms-dev libsane-dev libhal-dev libdbus-1-dev valgrind prelink libcups2-dev opencl-dev lib32opencl1 oss4-dev gettext lib32v4l-dev lib32ncurses5-dev lib32asound2-dev libtiff4-dev libgphoto2-2-dev
sudo apt-get install libxkbfile-dev libxxf86dga-dev freeglut3-dev unixodbc-dev gcc-multilib dpkg-dev

Note: I used the following list on debian stable/squeeze.

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs ia32-libs-dev bison flex gcc libc6-dev libfontconfig-dev libfreetype6-dev libglu-dev libgsm1-dev libice-dev libjpeg-dev libldap-dev libmpg123-dev libncurses5-dev libopenal-dev libpng-dev libsm-dev libssl-dev libusb-dev libx11-dev libxcomposite-dev libxcursor-dev libxext-dev libxi-dev libxinerama-dev libxml2-dev libxrandr-dev libxrender-dev libxslt-dev libxt-dev libxxf86vm-dev make libcapi20-dev liblcms-dev libsane-dev libhal-dev libdbus-1-dev valgrind prelink libcups2-dev oss4-dev gettext lib32v4l-dev lib32ncurses5-dev lib32asound2-dev libtiff4-dev libgphoto2-2-dev libxkbfile-dev libxxf86dga-dev freeglut3-dev unixodbc-dev gcc-multilib dpkg-dev debhelper libxmu-dev dctrl-tools lzma sharutils lib32z1-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev
sudo apt-get install lib32opencl1

Then continue as normal.

If you're on Wheezy/Testing you should be following this post instead anyway.

3. Compile
in wine-1.5.5/:

dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc

If all went well you saw:

Your packages will be found in the wine-1.5.5_carbon/ directory.

../libwine-alsa-unstable_1.5.5-0.1_amd64.deb
../libwine-bin-unstable_1.5.5-0.1_amd64.deb
../libwine-capi-unstable_1.5.5-0.1_amd64.deb

../wine-bin-unstable_1.5.5-0.1_amd64.deb
../wine-unstable_1.5.5-0.1_amd64.deb

If something went wrong, it's probably because of a missing dependency.

To install just run

sudo dpkg -i *.deb in the wine-1.5.5_carbon/ directory.

286. Briefly: installing the dev.carbon-project.org wine 1.5.5 from debs

UPDATE 16 May 2013: See here for Wine 1.5.30: http://verahill.blogspot.com.au/2013/05/416-wine-1530-in-chroot.html

UPDATE (10th Jan 2013): See here for Wine 1.5.21 using the multiarch approach: http://verahill.blogspot.com.au/2013/01/308-compiling-wine-1521-on-debian.html

Update: Try this first: http://verahill.blogspot.com.au/2012/11/compiling-wine-155-from-source-using.html
It uses a lot less bandwidth, and involves compiling wine yourself, but using the build instructions from the carbon-project.org

---

Please Note
For bandwidth reasons please don't use this method if you are satisfied with the version you obtain through compiling by following this method: http://verahill.blogspot.com.au/2012/10/wine-1515-on-debian-testingwheezy.html

---

A long time ago (http://verahill.blogspot.com.au/2012/01/debian-testingwheezy-64-bit-installing.html) I posted three methods for installing Wine on Debian Testing:
1. Use the Squeeze version
2. Get the Wine-unstable build from http://dev.carbon-project.org/debian/wine-unstable/
3. Compile your own version

I've never managed to build Wine to successfully include OpenCL, gstreamer, or libgsm. Also, there are occasional issues with libjpeg, and I recently have problems with libOSMesa.

So here's an alternative solution for installing a relatively recent version of wine, and it involves no compiling.

Note that it seems that the Wine project uses the traditional way of numbering releases i.e. odd version are development versions i.e. the 1.4 series is stable, the 1.5 series is under development, and the 1.6 series will be the next stable.

Please note what it says on the carbon-dev page:

The amount of traffic this little sub-page generates is quite respectable. If you think this service helpful and want to help cover some of the attached costs, please donate a few Euros, either through PayPal, by flattring this or by donating through Flattr. Thank you! (You can, of course, also donate something, for totally different reasons.)

So at the very least don't download the same packages over and over and keep bandwidth to a minimum.

Anyway, here we go.

0. Clean up
Uninstall any newer version of wine if you've compiled e.g. 1.5.15.

3. You're done

285. Minor bug in ECCE

I'll classify this as a bug, since the specificity of it surely must mean that it is an unintended behaviour. Basically you lose your hand-edited changes in your input files if you're not careful.

By Editor I don't mean the vim editor, but rather then Job Editor in Ecce.

 A demonstation: 

1. Create an input in ECCE. In this case I created a single-point energy calculation of dioxygen. Hand-edit the input file by clicking on Final Edit and add e.g. maxiter 99 in the dft block.

 2. Run the job


 3. Open the Editor. With the Editor open, click on Run Mgmt/Reset for restart. (In spite of the figure below, it has nothing to do with whether the vim editor is open or not.)

 4. Your hand-edited changes are now gone.

 In contrast, if the Editor is not open when you click on Run Mgmt/Reset for restart the changes will be kept.
