Problem while trying to do a Wine regression test

Hi. I'm a big fan of Torchlight game, but there's a bug I'm try to help squash:

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21779

I am able to run wine '.39 (not from AUR, it's not present there yet, edited PKGBUILD myself) and wine 1.0.1 to see the bug is not present in the stable release. I have been told to runa  regression test. And here comes my problem.

Following this :
http://wiki.winehq.org/RegressionTesting
howto seems easy.

There is no problem with downloading Wine from git. When trying to build, there's a problem:

[warnec@chakra-desktop Kompilowane]$ cd wine-git/
[warnec@chakra-desktop wine-git]$ CC="ccache gcc -m32" ./configure --verbose
checking build system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
checking host system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking for gcc... ccache gcc -m32
checking whether the C compiler works... no
configure: error: in `/home/warnec/Kompilowane/wine-git':
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.
[warnec@chakra-desktop wine-git]$

My guess is that I'm missing some dependencies, because AUR Wine versions aren't built from source, but extracted from an external .tar.gz, no?
But I downloaded the PKGBUILD of wine-git from AUR (above "wine-git" folder name is just how I named a folder containing Wine's git code I tried to use for regression test)
and ran makepkg -s, and it told me I have all dependencies.

Here's config.log:

Hope you guys can help me

Re: Problem while trying to do a Wine regression test

if you have an x86_64 system, you can't build wine from source. If you're dead set on getting this to work, read this

Re: Problem while trying to do a Wine regression test

How about this?:

http://wiki.winehq.org/WineOn64bit#head … 83e54ca799

It looks like something doable.

PS.: Nvm. I understand now and am currently making my own 32-bit system inside /opt. Just hope you could help me later with setting the prefixes during Wine compile. Remember, I'm a newbie!

Pity we're in two opposite corners of the world, you reply when I'm deeply asleep, and vice versa.

Update: I have problem when trying to create hard links from my systems' files to the 32-bit build
(Part Configure the new system:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ins … ew_system)

[warnec@chakra-desktop ~]$ LANG=C ln -f /etc/passwd* .
ln: creating hard link `./passwd' => `/etc/passwd': Invalid cross-device link
ln: creating hard link `./passwd-' => `/etc/passwd-': Invalid cross-device link
[warnec@chakra-desktop ~]$

Could it be because I have /opt on a separate partition? My fstab, just in case:

yeah, that's it. not sure how to go about fixing that, because you can't use symbolic links in a chroot. Is there any particular reason you have /opt on a separate partition? usually I try to avoid partitioning since i always run run out of space on the wrong drive I suppose you could put the chroot somewhere else though, just make sure that your scripts etc point to the right place

Re: Problem while trying to do a Wine regression test

Well, I like experimenting, so I often install things like new qt in /opt, and I decided I need more space for exclusive /opt use.

By "put chroot somewhere else" you suggest installing arch32 somewhere else than /opt, I suppose? So I could use something like /usr/arch32, for example?
