Compile wine from source

The version of wine in tazpkg dosent quite fill my needs, so I try to compile it from source. however, I'm having some trouble getting ./configure to pickup on packages installed on the system.

Btw - i runt Slitaz 4

This is the tail of ./configure --prefix=/usr --without-freetype --verbose

configure: WARNING: prelink not found, base address of core dlls won't be set correctly.

configure: WARNING: libxrender development files not found, XRender won't be supported.

configure: WARNING: OpenGL development headers not found.

OpenGL and Direct3D won't be supported.

configure: WARNING: libxslt development files not found, xslt won't be supported.

configure: WARNING: OpenSSL development files not found, SSL won't be supported.

configure: WARNING: libjpeg development files not found, JPEG won't be supported.

configure: WARNING: libpng development files not found, PNG won't be supported.

configure: Finished.  Do 'make' to compile Wine.

Lets break it down: Prelink - no package in tazpkg?

libjpg, libpng, openssl - and most of the othes are installed with dev-packages.

f.eks:

tazpkg get-install openssl-dev --forced

openssl-dev-1.0.0g already in the cache : /var/cache/tazpkg/4.0/packages

Installation of : openssl-dev

================================================================================

Copying openssl-dev...                                               [ OK ]

Extracting openssl-dev...                                            [ OK ]

Extracting the pseudo fs... (lzma)                                   [ OK ]

Installing openssl-dev...                                            [ OK ]

Removing all tmp files...                                            [ OK ]

================================================================================

openssl-dev (1.0.0g) is installed.

now, what to do? I've never experienced that the system wont pickup on installed packages.. Any hints on how to solve would be great.

Hi SSamiK,

Execuse me, but I have no time to repeat your experience. I only want to say that the better way to compile packages under SliTaz is using cook and receipts.

Read local Cookutils documentation (under SliTaz menu - Documentation), search http://doc.slitaz.org for cooking receipts, pick existing wine receipt from wok http://hg.slitaz.org and iterate to edit it and compile until you have all you need.

Re: Compile wine from source

you should check the recent post,someone, i think mojo, has given a link to a more recent version (i think it is 1.4.1 but this is a month old and i am not using slitas at this time)

That last version is very good.

Re: Compile wine from source

Yeah... I found the cooking and receipts to be a bit comprehensive and unnecessary to learn for my needs. I prefer doing things the generic-source-code-way, to keep the changes between distros as small as possible. I'm still having a hard time figuring out how things are normally done here in Slitaz though, so I might be wrong. But as this just is a old computer that my dad uses to browse the web, I don't really want to spend time learning a new way of doing things just to install a few packages. 

All I really want is my system to recognize the installed packages so that I can install source code in the traditional way. In my head, that should not be that hard - if Slitaz works as a normal linux distro.

Thanks for your input, though!

Hi SSamiK

Yes slitaz work exact an another normal distro, but only if you add source and total dependency request step by step. I have compiled various packages on external installation at normal use, but the complete final distro is very big, a way to reduce it is to carry the only application created, or repack and reinstall in to original the result.
