maybe you missed this package of alien bob's repo. ;)

it's not that important like libsane (i don't have a scanner).

i post the link to a bug thread on winehq here hoping it can be useful to anyone trying to build wine with mp3 support on multilib slack

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20042

Having the exact same problem with wine 1.3.5, wine doesn't seem to find/like the openal lib

everything else works fine and wine compiles fine etc. Thanks to Alienbob for his awesome multilib packages.

[from ponce]
I tried using your openal package but no success
also tried converting the package found at http://repository.slacky.eu/slackwar...s/openal-soft/ but no dice

I could not find the details of which version of Openal wine 1.3.5 expects so not sure if the error is a) because wine cannot find the libs at all or b) because the lib version is too old.

:frustrated:

this topic is a little old (and still embarassing for me :( ): can you try with latest OpenAL (package built from slackbuilds.org)? I converted to -compat32 the i486 version for your ease

Thank you very much ponce, nothing to be embarrassed about :)
I have downloaded the packages, will install and report ASAP.

did you use any specific compile flags/sources etc? They seem to be the same version as the package from slacky.eu I tried?

no, I simply built them with the standard flags you can see on their slackbuild.

just be sure to install the two packages as the header files for OpenAL used by wine for building are in the x86_64 package, while the libraries it will link to (and that it will use while running) are in the -compat32 one.

FYI, I've tried that myself and after building and installing I got

At my system by then, Wine never able to find the libxcomposite libs. However after reverel clean installs of multi lib it worked. I never found the reason why Wine never found libxcomposite. It my 13.1 system, It finds fine and I have problems (And no need for external mpg123-compat32 pakage is needed. Alien BOB's massconvert is all needed).

yes, because later Eric added mpg123 to the default set of compat32 libs.

Works now thank you !
I had not realised both (64 and compat) packages needed to be installed to have the headers

Would it work/be possible to modify the 64=>32 package converter script such that it keeps the headers?

You can but please don't

I really wonder if you should not just install a 32-bit Slackware... What good is it if you do not install 64-bit packages on a 64-bit OS?

Eric

In that specific instance, this library is only used when compiling Wine.

Given my lakc of knowledge as to how exactly the multilib system interacts with 64/32 libs, I was trying to minimise potential issues by only installing the 32-compat package.

I used to use 32-bit slack but on my current machine I just end up wasting resources.

I think I know the reason. Now I got a 13.1 Multilib system which I install wine. It was saying that I did not have sane development packages. I installed sane/xsane compat32 packets but It did not stop complaining about how it did not find sane development files. Well I checked xsane was missing dependencies (32 bit one: ldd /usr/bin/32/xsane). I installed missing dependencies one by one. Now I tested it, Wine configure does not complain about missing sane development files. My guess is that dependency problem.
