Slackware package development files

TheCrow33 · 07-02-2010, 04:50 PM

I'm trying to install wine 1.0.1 (stable) from source because I've been having trouble with steam. Anyway I want all functionality from wine, I don't want to skip over anything that could be installed for it. So I downloaded and untared the wine source code and ran the configuration script as: ./configure --libdir=/usr/lib64 because I'm on a slack64 13.1 machine. The last few lines waned that I would not have certain features built in:

Code:

configure: libsane development files not found, scanners won't be supported.
configure: libcapi20 development files not found, ISDN won't be supported.

configure: WARNING: libxml2 development files not found, XML won't be supported.

configure: WARNING: libxslt development files not found, xslt won't be supported.

So I need the development files, and I googled for them but I keep coming up with debian packages. As I had guessed that's what I would find. I know in debian based systems it's as simple as running the package manager and searching for the package with -dev added to the end. However I don't know how to install them in slackware. Does this simply mean I need to install those packages from source?

For running Wine on Slackware64 13.1, you should see this thread a little further down the page.

Slackware doesn't use separate dev files. If you have sane installed then it should include everything you need.

By the way Wine is on SBo: http://slackbuilds.org/repository/13.1/system/wine/

I kinda figured, but it's odd that it complained. I know there is a slackbuild for wine, but I was having trouble with that one running steam as well even after following all the guides to making it work. So I was going to try installing wine myself.
