I got hold of wine today and tried to install it, rpm-file.
But it says:
error: Failed dependencies:
/lib/i686/libc.so.6 is needed by wine-20040121-mdk

What do I need and where do I get it?
If it have anything to do with platforms and so on, FYI:
Mandrake 9.2 RC1 for AMD64

Cheers!

Since you're on AMD64 i suggest recompiling wine, MDK64 probably has a different libc virsion than the 32bit MDK.

[edit] hence the libc.so.6 error

I downloaded the source, tarball, and tried to compile it but I recived an error:
gcc -c -I. -I. -I../../include -I../../include -D_WINESRC -D_REENTRANT -fPIC -Wall -pipe -fno-strict-aliasing -stabs+ -Wpointer-arith -g -O2 -o interlocked.o interlocked.c
interlocked.c:248:3: #error You must implement the interlocked* functions for your CPU
make[2]: *** [interlocked.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/cojniz/wine-20040121/libs/port'
make[1]: *** [port] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/cojniz/wine-20040121/libs'
make: *** [libs] Error 2

How do I 'implement the interlocked* functions for my CPU'??

I don't know(i stink at compiling software and I don't have a AMD64 to play with). I would try to install the rpm using "rpm -i --nodeps wine.rpm". It really depends on how close your version of libc is to the one the package was built for(I think, if it doesn't work you can just uninstall it and try something different).

Sorry to say that the "rpm -i --nodeps wine-xxxxxxx.rpm" didn't work very well either.
Thanks anyway!

you might not have the right support for you kernel. As the error said when you were compiling, you need to enable some kind of support in your kernel, which means building support into it. That means compiling your kernel to have a little more amd64 support.

Ok, so I'm up for a kernel recompile. I guess I had that coming sooner or later.
I got another suggestion from a friend, to boot up without smp-support and compile and perhaps run it on 1 CPU only. Would that make any difference?
Anyhow, how do I recompile the kernel?
Is there a guide anywhere for howto recompile it, running Mandrake 9.2?

Cojniz, here you go, give this site a try:-

Thanks!

Does anybody have this working yet?
I red some post of people havinf this working.
Still got this error:

#error You must implement the interlocked* functions for your CPU

Have not found anything in kernel to get this?
A Google did not make me wiser, so hopefully anybody knows how to fix this?
I am running Gentoo 2.6.7-r11 and tried to compile the kernel on x86_64 and amd64 mode.
Same results.

Waiting for the saving poster

I'm working on my brand new laptop (HP zv5000z) with AMD64 and trying to build wine among other things. I had the exact same error message. I haven't had any success yet, but will post here if I do. I am rebuilding my kernel anyways for other reasons so maybe that will help. I was a little depressed when I saw this on winehq: http://www.winehq.org/?issue=225#AMD64%20Issues sounds like we're sortof pioneers here or something

Hi
I am running AMD64 (DUAL) with Gentoo64 and I am not lucky either, tru to compile WINE

interlocked.c:248:3: #error You must implement the interlocked* functions for your CPU
make[2]: *** [interlocked.o] Error 1

try few versions of WINE newest from wine-20040716.ebuild

does anyone know what this issue can be?

thanks
cerw.

The issue is that Wine has not been ported to any 64 bit architectures yet. Unless you have a good understanding of AMD64 assembly and/or multi-threading (the interlocked functions are atomic, for instance) you cannot fix this error.

Until then I suggest either:

a) Not using a 64 bit chip. Really, if you are using a 64 bit system you should know what you're doing and understand errors like this, AMD64 isn't designed for non-technical users

b) Compiling Wine in 32 bit mode. I do not know how to do this but there are techniques floating around, I have seen them before. Use google power.

Good luck!

Oh, one more thing, you *cannot* fix that compilation error except by compiling Wine as a 32 bit app. Playing with the kernel won't help, that's just likely to break things. Even then as the Weekly News points out, you may run into strange problems at runtime.

Hi guys,

I found a solution, which has been around for a while.
It is voor gentoo, which I use (and it rocks!), but there is enough info to get it working on other distro's probably.
Check it out:
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.p...ght=wine+amd64

I used packages from fedora core 2 for this and it works.
Use the binaries, rpm2tgz them and extract in root. Then the named emul libraries might be platform depedent.
Good luck, have fun, hope it works for you too.

You can always switch to gentoo
