I recently installed Mint 17.3 64-bit on my desktop machine built in 2009. I'd like to install the latest stable version of Wine (1.8.6). I've enabled 32-bit architecture as instructed on Wine HQ I've downloaded the wine source and I've extracted the tar file. I'm trying to "build" process from the command line. When I run ./configure It says, "error: cannot build a 32-bit program, you need to install 32-bit development libraries." Where do I get those libraries? I can handle the command line if I know exactly what to type and when and what to expect.
Yes. I know It would be easier to install Wine 1.6.2 from the Mint Software Manager, but I'm trying to learn something new. Can anyone out there help me? Thanks.

Hello wallman1 and Welcome to Mint Forums,
I believe these are the files you may be looking for
good luck.
I usually just install playonlinux which allows you to manage wine versions up to 1.9.x

Re: Where to get 32-bit developmet libraries for Wine
Thank you kc1di, and Merry Christmas! I will try that. I may need some more help after i put those in.
I'm showing my age, but i used FORTRAN on the VAX and the first 286 PC's when I was in college in the late 1980's into the mid 1990's. We would always compile source code into an object file and then link it to make an executable file. I have not done any programming or coding since then except for a short stint with Visual Basic in the late 1990's and more recently with AutoLISP at my work. So anyway i'm still trying to wrap my mind around how the world works in Linux....how to get source code into something executable.
I appreciate the help. Thank you again.
