    using 32 bit chrooted wine in ubuntu 64

    hello i am attempting to build a patched up wine from source so i can play league of legends properly on linux. I came accross a few issues. I have followed the instructions on this guide http://wiki.winehq.org/WineOn64bit with the exception of manually downloading the source and patching it.

    currently whenever i try to launch something through wine or run wincfg i get this message

    Code:
    Application tried to create a window, but no driver could be loaded.
    Make sure that your X server is running and that $DISPLAY is set correctly.
    i also have a second question. In the guide it tells me to use programs from outside the chroot i would have to install wine seperately. but wouldnt that remove the purpose of building the 32 bit wine in the first place?

    I'm trying to understand why you're doing what you're doing. Why not just install Wine from the Wine repository, as normal? If it doesn't automatically pull all the 32 bit packages, installing them is as simple as opening a terminal and typing
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
    If you are asking about a problem with your system, make sure to give details about your setup. OTHERWISE, NO ONE CAN HELP YOU.

    Hi,

    I'm doing something sort of similar to you, except with Linux Mint being my host OS. What I do is, after Wine is built and ready to go in the chroot, exit the chroot and access the Wine executable from my main OS (by the way, I'd recommend installing the package thatguruguy mentioned if you haven't already; not sure 32-bit Wine will work without it).

    So, for example, I have my chroot in /mnt/SDCARD/chroot. To use the Wine version that I built there, I would use /mnt/SDCARD/chroot/wine-git/wine from my main OS.

    Hope this helps, and let me know if you have any questions.
