Use "--build" and "--host". ./configure --help System types: --build=BUILD configure for building on BUILD [guessed] --host=HOST cross-compile to build programs to run on HOST [BUILD] You need to use ./configure --build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu to compile for ...

The technique is called 'cross-compiling' because you are targeting an architecture other than the one you are building on.

@GeorgeEdison 'wine refuses to compile 32bit on x64 systems thanks to multiarch' <-- just a note. reference: appdb.winehq.org/… but I haven't tried it myself

You could always set up a chroot though, right?

aking1012

Definitely. I was only pointing out the possible difficulty. My recommendation would be apt-get source from this PPA, applying the patches, and compiling native launchpad.net/~ubuntu-wine/+archive/ppa/+build/3484539

jrg

well, that's nice. the homebrew recipe for byobu works on Ubuntu out of the box. :D

George Edison

@aking1012 If you could get the patches into a Bazaar repo., you could set up a build recipe on Launchpad.

It would be a bit harder than it sounds, but possible.

aking1012

I've never done that...do you have a url to a guide handy, or is it an i should googleit thing

@jrg hi

George Edison

Build recipes? Sure, one sec...

Q: How do I use a Launchpad recipe for patching and building an original package?

I have a patch against vim which applies to packaged version. I would like to automate this, so that when new ubuntu is released, the newer unpatched vim gets patched & built using a recipe. I read documentation on recipes, though I am not sure how to apply a patch. Should I create branch wi...

That seems to apply.

aking1012

Good deal. I'll give it a look

Sombody just got some upboats

I've been staring at this other project so long, I can't focus any more. Maybe changing gears and trying wine-build/patch will help bring me around

@rlemon - if you're still around and don't have this working...lmk. i'm going to try out the bzr branch/recipe thing. i don't have a copy of Diablo3 to test against(which is I suspect what you're wanting)

@GeorgeEdison added a link to the official launchpad bzr recipe guide too

George Edison

Ah, great.

aking1012

Before I beat my head in a wall wondering if you can do it, do you know if you can change the install target directory that way? As in, if I wanted to make a separate wine install in /opt so people didn't have to risk breaking their current wine-apps to test it...

nm...package dependent. it would be just another patch to a makefile if it uses a native build-system and not some debian thing

Brief aside: I wish tutorials would use [launchpad-login]/[ppa-name]/[branch-name] instead of a seemingly existing package. It would read a lot more clearly

Installed Dnscrypt and Unbound. Set unbound listening on 127.0.0.1 and forwarded to dnscrypt listening on 127.0.0.2:40

Everything works untill I connect to work VPN

aking1012

Knee-jerk is that your work DNS doesn't support SSL connections, but like I said...it's a knee-jerk. I have no factual basis for that
