Building 32-bit Wine on a 64-bit (x86-64) system

If you just want to use Wine, there is no need to compile it using the instructions here. Just go to the downloads page and click the link for your distribution.

If you want to run 64-bit Windows programs, see Wine64.

If you want to build Wine on a 32-bit system, see Recommended Packages.

Ubuntu

You will either need to create a 32-bit chroot or manually link in the development libraries needed to compile Wine. Both methods are described here.

chroot Method

For more information on chroot and Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebootstrapChroot

First, install the schroot and debootstrap packages: 

sudo apt-get install schroot debootstrap

Now create a configuration file for schroot: 

sudo editor /etc/schroot/chroot.d/precise_i386.conf

Put this in the new file: 

[precise_i386]
description=Ubuntu Precise
personality=linux32
directory=/srv/chroot/precise_i386
root-users=your_username
type=directory
users=your_username

Create a working installation of Ubuntu inside the chroot. Replace "precise" with your Ubuntu version. You can replace http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ with an appropriate mirror from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors: 

sudo mkdir -p /srv/chroot/precise_i386
sudo debootstrap --variant=buildd --arch=i386 precise /srv/chroot/precise_i386 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/

Make apt-get work from within the chroot: 

sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /srv/chroot/precise_i386/etc/apt/

Enter the chroot: 

schroot -c precise_i386 -u root

Get the basic packages: 

apt-get install ubuntu-minimal
apt-get install python-software-properties

Install the build dependencies: 

apt-get update
apt-get build-dep wine

You might need to add the wine repository first if you get an error such as: 

E: You must put some 'source' URIs in your sources.list

To do so, simply run: 

add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa
apt-get update

Download the Wine source tree into your chroot: 

apt-get install git
git clone git://source.winehq.org/git/wine

Note that the default schroot rebinds the /home directory on the host system so that it appears in the chroot system. This means your home folder is basically shared.

Compile: 

cd wine
./configure
make

To be able to use Wine from outside the chroot, Wine's dependencies must be installed outside the chroot. The easiest way is to exit the chroot and install a prepackaged copy of Wine: 

exit
sudo apt-get install wine

You can now run Wine from outside the chroot: 

exit
cd wine
./wine notepad

Manually Linking Libraries Method

To manually link the development libraries needed by Wine you'll need sudo privileges and all of the 32-bit libraries need to be installed ("sudo apt-get build-dep wine" will quickly install everything). However, this action alone will not provide all of the necessary symbolic links. In order to get these linkages you can install a convenience package that will make them for you: 

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ehoover/compholio
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs-dev

Alternatively, you can copy-paste the following code into a terminal window to setup the symbolic links: 

cd /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu
sudo ln -s libfreetype.so.6 libfreetype.so
sudo ln -s libX11.so.6 libX11.so
sudo ln -s libXau.so.6 libXau.so
sudo ln -s libXcursor.so.1 libXcursor.so
sudo ln -s libXi.so.6 libXi.so
sudo ln -s libXext.so.6 libXext.so
sudo ln -s libXxf86vm.so.1 libXxf86vm.so
sudo ln -s libXrandr.so.2 libXrandr.so
sudo ln -s libXrender.so.1 libXrender.so
sudo ln -s libXinerama.so.1 libXinerama.so
sudo ln -s libXcomposite.so.1 libXcomposite.so
sudo ln -s libGLU.so.1 libGLU.so
sudo ln -s libOSMesa.so.6 libOSMesa.so
sudo ln -s libgnutls.so.26 libgnutls.so
sudo ln -s libsane.so.1 libsane.so
sudo ln -s libv4l1.so.0 libv4l1.so
sudo ln -s libv4l2.so.0 libv4l2.so
sudo ln -s liblcms.so.1 liblcms.so
sudo ln -s libcapi20.so.3 libcapi20.so
sudo ln -s libcups.so.2 libcups.so
sudo ln -s libfontconfig.so.1 libfontconfig.so
sudo ln -s libtiff.so.4 libtiff.so
sudo ln -s libmpg123.so.0 libmpg123.so
sudo ln -s libodbc.so.1 libodbc.so
sudo ln -s libopenal.so.1 libopenal.so
sudo ln -s libldap-2.4.so.2 libldap.so
sudo ln -s libldap_r-2.4.so.2 libldap_r.so
sudo ln -s liblber-2.4.so.2 liblber.so
sudo ln -s libxml2.so.2 libxml2.so
sudo ln -s libxslt.so.1 libxslt.so
sudo ln -s libssl.so.0.9.8 libssl.so
sudo ln -s libcrypto.so.0.9.8 libcrypto.so
sudo ln -s libjpeg.so.8 libjpeg.so
sudo ln -s mesa/libGL.so libGL.so
cd /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa
sudo ln -s libGL.so.1 libGL.so
cd /lib/i386-linux-gnu
sudo ln -s libdbus-1.so.3 libdbus-1.so
sudo ln -s libpng12.so.0 libpng.so

You will probably also need a couple missing 32-bit libraries, those can be obtained by executing: 

sudo apt-get install libosmesa6:i386 libosmesa-dev libjpeg-turbo8-dev:i386

Please note that there are a couple libraries that are not fully supported with this method due to the way multilib works on Ubuntu 12.04+, specifically libtiff and libgstreamer are known to not be detected on configure.

Debian

Squeeze

For me the following worked:

1) aptitude install:

2) ./configure --prefix=/home/miguel/bin/wine32

3) make

4) make install

Wheezy

Warning: probably way out of date, attention is needed

  1. apt-get the following packages:
    • ia32-libs (you need version 1.18 at least)
    • libc6-dev-i386
    • lib32z1-dev
    • ia32-libs-dev (it has the /usr/lib32/libpng.so, which seems to be required when installing TTF fonts)
    • optionally, a bunch of other libraries: libxcursor-dev libfontconfig1-dev libldap2-dev libxslt-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libglu1-xorg-dev libgnutls-dev libxi-dev lib32ncurses5-dev libxrandr-dev libxxf86vm-dev
  2. Make symlinks (see below, in the Debian SID section, for the full list of symlinks): 
    cd /usr/lib32 ln -s libdbus-1.so.3 libdbus-1.so

This is required as of 2008/05/20 to prevent Wine warning that HAL cannot be found. See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=473586

  1. Download the wine source and assuming gcc and all needed development packages are installed (see Recommended Packages) you can compile wine using: 

    ./configure
make
make install
  2. If the configure command fails with "configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables" and you use gcc-4.1, install "gcc-4.1-multilib" to solve it.
  3. Run wine by executing /emul/ia32-linux/usr/bin/wine (you can add the directory to the path or make a script). If wine complains that it can't find libwine.so.1 make sure /emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib is part of the LD_LIBRARY_PATH or run ldconfig -v.

Troubleshooting

If you have problems with libjpeg, there is a confirmed bug. The work around is:

You need to remove the version 0.62 and create a symbolic link to the version 0.8, probably both are installed into /usr/lib, in my case (i'm using debian amd64) are installed in /usr/lib32, i just type: $ ls | grep libjpeg, i've located the both libjpeg, deleted the 62 typing: # rm -f ./libjpeg.so.62 ./libjpeg.so.62.0.0 and create the two symlinks from version 0.8 typing: # ln -s ./libjpeg.so.8 ./libjpeg.so.62 and # ln -s ./libjpeg.so.8 ./libjpeg.so.62.0.0 and just compiled the wine again and problem solved, to assure that is the correct version of libjpeg just type: ./configure | grep jpeg before the make.

I found that ./configure still gave me a libjpeg error, but programs that used libjpeg worked well.

Gentoo

NOTE: This will compile wine and install it into your system. It is a really bad idea to install stuff manually into your gentoo system. If you want to be on the safe side, omit the "make install" command. You can still run wine from the source directory using the wine wrapper found at the root of the directory.

  1. Emerge wine and wine should install fine, if on the other hand you want to compile wine by hand follow the steps below.
  2. Install the x86 compatibility libraries (emul-linux-x86-xlibs, emul-linux-x86-soundlibs, ..)

  3. Download the wine source and assuming gcc and all needed development packages are installed (see Recommended Packages) you can compile wine using: configure --prefix=/emul/linux/x86/usr --x-libraries=/emul/linux/x86/usr/lib/X11 (in case of xorg 7.0, else */usr/X11R6/lib), make depend && make, make install

  4. Run wine by executing /emul/linux/usr/bin/wine (you can also make a symlink /usr/bin/wine -> /emul/linux/usr/bin/wine and the same for wineserver, then you can just type wine). If wine complains that it can't find libwine.so.1 make sure /emul/linux/usr/lib is part of the LD_LIBRARY_PATH or run ldconfig -v.

If nothing seems to work try using ebuild to compile it once and copy the source from /var/tmp/portage/wine-9999/work/wine somewhere. Ebuild /usr/portage/app-emulation/wine/wine-9999.ebuild fetch unpack compile. To update CVS add clean to the beginning.

sudo ln -s libglib-2.0.so.0.2800.0 /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so

Note: the targets of the above symlinks may need to be adjusted depending on what versions of the libraries you have installed on your system.

Run configure with: 

./configure --x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib

The --x-libraries switch is important, otherwise it will pick up the 64bit X libraries and just not work.

CentOS 5

Here is a script that installs 32 bit wine-1.2.2 on a 64 bit centos 5. It downloads and builds all required packages. This builds wine using all cores on the computer, so watch out you don't explode it if someone else is on. This is what the script installs:

You can get the Required Packages that are also needed to install wine. These are not in the centos 5 repositories so you must build them yourself. There are also rpms in it that you must install. 

Contents: gnutls-2.8.6.tar.bz2, flex-2.5.35.tar.bz2, libtiff-3.5.5-2.i386.rpm , libtool-ltdl-1.5.22-7.el5_4.i386.rpm, mpg123-1.3.1-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm, openal-0.0.9-0.9.20060204cvs.el5.kb.i386.rpm, openal-0.0.9-0.9.20060204cvs.el5.kb.x86_64.rpm, libtool-ltdl-1.5.22-7.el5_4.x86_64.rpm, mpg123-1.9.1-1.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm, and wine-1.2.2.tar.bz2

EL6 (RHEL6 and SL6)

Required packages for proper building of 32-bit Wine on 64-bit EL6 

yum install alsa-lib-devel.i686 libsndfile-devel.i686 readline-devel.i686 glib2.i686 glibc-devel.i686 libgcc.i686 libstdc++-devel.i686 pulseaudio-libs-devel.i686 cmake portaudio-devel.i686 openal-soft-devel.i686 audiofile-devel.i686 freeglut-devel.i686 lcms-devel.i686 libieee1284-devel.i686 openldap-devel.i686 unixODBC-devel.i686 sane-backends-devel.i686 fontforge libgphoto2-devel.i686 isdn4k-utils-devel.i686 mesa-libGL-devel.i686 mesa-libGLU-devel.i686 libXxf86dga-devel.i686 libXxf86vm-devel.i686 giflib-devel.i686 cups-devel.i686 gsm-devel.i686 libv4l-devel.i686 fontpackages-devel ImageMagick-devel.i686 openal-soft-devel.i686 libX11-devel.i686 docbook-utils-pdf libtextcat tex-cm-lgc

Trying to rebuild the epel 6 wine srpms (wine-1.2.3-1.el6.src.rpm) in 32-bit mode, I had to do the following manual changes to the spec files:

  • portaudio.spec: add an "export CC='gcc -m32 -march=i686'" in an %ifarch %{ix86}

  • wine.spec: add an "export CC='gcc -m32 -march=i686'" in an %ifarch %{ix86}, and remove 'TARGETFLAGS="" %{?_smp_mflags}' after %{make}

The resulting packages (src and binary) are available here http://www.gymglish.com/opensource/rpms/centos6-rpms/

Then, I could build the rpms in this order: 

rpmbuild -ba --sign --target i686 portaudio.spec
rpmbuild -ba --sign --target i686 openal-soft.spec
rpmbuild -ba --sign --target i686 nss-mdns.spec
rpmbuild -ba --sign --target i686 wine.spec
rpmbuild -ba --sign wine-docs.spec

  • We should probably also have a page called UsingWineOn64bit for users (as opposed to developers).
