[Bug 958479] Re: Building 32-bit wine on 12.04 amd64 does not work

[Joel F]

Is this the problem with WINE and Ubuntu 12.04 because I have tried
everything!! I tried to download all of the i386 libs (which causes a
lot of 64 bit to be removed) and then I copied the libs in /lib32 and
/usr/lib32 to /lib32/bak and /user/lib32/bak so I can restore all of the
64bit back to the system and copy the /bak contents into the /lib32
directories. This also did NOT work!

This is a tragic mess. Nixie Pixel and Valve leaders are actively
promoting Ubuntu Linux gaming and here we have this huge mistake! We
need this fixed ASAP!! Super high priority. Do you realize that this is
the moment when a lot of MS Windows users will join Linux because of the
possibility to game now? So this is a crucial time. Please fix these!

Title:
  Building 32-bit wine on 12.04 amd64 does not work

Status in “build-essential” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hi,

  if you want to build the 32bit version of wine 1.5 on Ubuntu 12.04 64
  bit it will fail cause configure can not find the necessary 32 bit
  development files.

  If you do an ldconfig -p you see why:

  libX11.so.6 (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libX11.so.6
  libX11.so.6 (libc6) => /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libX11.so.6
  libX11.so (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libX11.so

  So, the libX11.so library is announced ONLY as a 64bit version.
  BUT, the 32-bit version is also installed (libX11.so.6 (libc6) but there is no symlink to libX11.so avalible for it.

  This hapens for a huge amount of libraries.
  It will be a huge pita to manually build 32-bit apps in 12.04 if this does not change !

  Please fix this strange issue.

  Many thanks,
  Christian
