Problems compiling wine on oneiric x64

[Freek07]

I'd like to play Entropia Universe. Davvvvve reported it's working with doublebuffer patch (http://bugs2.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=27310).

The problem is I have x64 machine and "apt-get build-deps wine" goes well but when I configure (ubuntu's!) wine it needs a lot of other i386 stuff. For example, libfreetype6-dev:i386.

Installing libfreetype6-dev:i386 would remove gcc and replace it with gcc:i386 and remove a lot of other stuff as well...and I don't want to break my system.

So, I have two questions:
a) is there precompiled ubuntu x64 wine with doublebuffer patch?
or
b) how can I compile it without breaking my system?

I had no problem with compiling wine under oneiric x64, make sure you have wine ppa added. For 1.3* use sudo apt-get build-dep wine1.3.

If you want just to compile wine without installing it in system just run:

./configure
make

and all required binaries are placed in the same directory. To add a patch check winehq faq

Wine is a 32-bit program, even on a 64-bit system. You can read why Wine is structured the way it is here.

That's why it brings in the 32-bit packages.
