Debian compiling 32-bit Wine in 64-bit Wheezy 7.1

I've been trying to compile a 32-bit wine with the netflix patches on 64-bit Wheezy without using the compholio repository and ran into some issues:

1) I need gstreamer 64-bit no-dev and 32-bit dev packages installed at the same time. Is this possible without
building 32-bit gstreamer from source? In aptitude this appears to be an either/or but not both.

2) A lot of the 32-bit dev packages I needed conflicted due to requiring pkgconfig:i386, like libdbus:i386. I
also have 64-bit packages which required pkconfig:amd64. Is there a multiarch implementation of pkgconfig like gcc
has?

3) Finally, how would I obtain the source package for wine? I would like to look at their configure options.

Thanks for your help.

Have you installed the multiarch-support package?

Is there a multiarch implementation of pkgconfig like gcc has?

Yup.

~$ aptitude search pkg-config
p   eclipse-cdt-pkg-config                        - pkg-config support for Eclipse C/C++ development tools 
i A pkg-config                                    - manage compile and link flags for libraries            
p   pkg-config:i386                               - manage compile and link flags for libraries            
p   ruby-pkg-config

jdk

I did dpkg --add-architecture i386, apt-get update, then installed gcc-multilib. Is there something else I need to do?

pkg-config:amd64 and pkg-config:i386 are mutually exclusive. If you install one aptitude suggests you remove the other one, which of course will break other packages.

I see what you mean.

~$ aptitude -s install pkg-config:i386
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  libpopt0:i386{a} pkg-config:i386{b} 
0 packages upgraded, 2 newly installed, 0 to remove and 23 not upgraded.
Need to get 116 kB of archives. After unpacking 604 kB will be used.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 pkg-config : Conflicts: pkg-config:i386 but 0.26-1 is to be installed.
 pkg-config:i386 : Conflicts: pkg-config but 0.26-1 is installed.
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:

     Keep the following packages at their current version:
1)     pkg-config:i386 [Not Installed]

jdk

Have you tried apt-get?

curious if any update on this success or failure. I have wheezy 7.0 and would like to build wine 1.6 from source but not having much luck.

I had wine 32 bit installed but windows programs I wanted to use are no longer working right with stable wine release 1.4.x and I am hoping the some 10,000 changes with wine 1.6.x fix that.

turns out I am using 7.1 now. tried script http://winezeug.googlecode.com/svn/t...l-wine-deps.sh which apparently works for sid and wheezy 7.0 but not 7.1 it adds dev packages needed for wine compile to work needs both amd64 and i386.

I myself am hoping that OP can get netflix working

I did get netflix working using wine stable for 7.0 but it stopped in 7.1. Did not work very long main reason I want to get wine 1.6 compiled and installed is to access movies.netflix.com website and update my cue otherwise I watch netflix on my sony bluray player and big screen tv.

playonlinux is a pretty good frontend manager for wine. It will easily allow installation of seperate wine installations per program. It might make things easier in the future.

Well playonlinux is a little harsh on my laptop so I need to try on my desktop, but it appears netflix will work

Strange that it's running sluggish on your laptop. I've ran it on much less than what's in your sig. Glad everything worked out though.

All I get are the blinking dots in a circle loading the movie & an error about wine crashing.

My solution: download the .deb package from compholio, install the necessary dependencies (apt will let you know when you try to install the .deb), install the .deb, then follow the steps in this part of the guide: http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Netflix#Wine_installation.

You can also add the Compholio repository to your sources and install the netflix-desktop package directly.

I would've liked to figure out how to build a later version of wine and manually patch it, but no success on that front.

@EDDY1: you might be having a problem with your 32-bit video driver libraries. What video card drivers are you using?

I have i91 which really is bs on laptop, getting ready to switch lapyops soon.
