I've got Wine running on LMDE 15, Mate desktop. I'm running 32 bit Wine on a 64 bit system, because some of the applications I run under Wine are 32 bit application.
I was able to compile 32-bit Wine on 64 bit LMDE without using the CHROOT method suggested at WineHQ by using instructions from a combination of sites. Unfortunately, I didn't note most of the URLs I used.
The first was from wiki.winehq.org/WineOn64bit. Since LMDE is built on Debian, not Ubuntu, I used the instructions for Debian Wheezy:
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs libc6-dev-i386 lib32z1-dev ia32-libs-dev
ia32-libs-dev wasn't found in my repositories, so I dug a little deeper into the web, and found this:
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install libc6-dev-i386 lib32z1-dev
When I ran ./configure, I got an error stating that 32 bit Wine needed 32 bit X development libraries. I fixed that with this command:
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-dev:i386 libfreetype6-dev:i386
It's important to note that doing this last step removed build-essential, dkms and my wireless drivers. I don't know why, but I reinstalled build-essential and dkms first, then the wireless drivers. Wine, and the rest of my system, have been working fine since.
I hope this helps!
