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

[Matthias Klose]

there is no commitment to build and install everything in 32bit on an
amd64 platform. Read about multiarch in the ubuntu wiki. For a pure
32bit development environment, consider to install the 32bit version of
ubuntu in a chroot (using debootstrap, also documented in the ubuntu
wiki).

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

Status in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

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
