Hi,

Because usually people want Wine to support both 64 and older 32bit Windows programs/games etc....

this topic may be useful: viewtopic.php?f=108&t=63796
but why do you want to build wine in the first place?

NOTE: I'm running the MX Linux 19.4.1 KDE version

Tried installing winehq-staging packages but if I do that, while playing gta san andreas in windowed mode, if I alt+tab, the mouse keeps clicking in the paused game menu while I click around on other programs

And if I try to install winehq-stable package I get the following output:

Code: Select all

$ sudo apt-get install winehq-stable
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 winehq-stable : Depends: wine-stable (= 6.0.0~buster-1)
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I mean which would these packages be, to install these so I can compile the program

the problem is likely that you need libfaudio0 (both 64-bit and 32-bit), which is in the mx test repo and in buster-backports
so what you can do is enable the backports repo, do 'sudo update-grub' and try again

Thanks, the backports thing solved the problem!

To get back to the original question about the build-depends, you should be able to get the debian.tar.xz for wine by surfing into the repository where the finished packages are. The Build-Depends for i386 should be listed in the debian/control file once the tarball is extracted.

If I remember correctly, Wine has a permissive configure system: if you are missing some optional build-depend, it won't error out, but just disable the feature that depends on the BD, and carry on--only printing a note of what wasn't found before commencing the build. Since a lot of people ignore the jibber-jabber that's being output, they won't see that notification.
