I don't have much experience with standalone 64-bit Wine, but my
solution for 32-bit vs. 64-bit Wine is to build a combined version from
upstream (git) source - largely because AFAIK Debian does not provide
any way to get a combined-build Wine installed.
Unfortunately, while, this used to be relatively straightforward in
squeeze when we still had an ia32-libs-dev package, it's currently
broken - and is likely to remain that way until multiarch extends to
- -dev packages, which at this point probably isn't expected to be
completed (or even necessarily begun) for jessie.
My "install a newer version of Wine" procedure is currently as follows:
1. Update the Wine source.
2. In a separate directory (wine64), run the following commands:
$(winesrc)/configure --enable-win64
make $(make_options)
3. In a separate directory (wine32), run the following command:
$(winesrc)/configure --with-wine64=$(wine64dir)
4. Make note of the errors or "this feature has been disabled" reports
from the configure run, check the configure log files, identify what
- -dev package(s) need to be installed in order to fix the problem, and
install the :i386 versions of those packages. (This automatically
removes the :amd64 versions of the same-dev packages.)
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until the configure run is successful and all
the features I want are detected and enabled.
6. Run the following commands:
make $(make_options)
su -c 'make install'
7. Back in the wine64 directory, run the following command:
su -c 'make install'
8. Reinstall all the packages (or at least the -dev packages) which got
removed in step 4.
Steps 4, 5 and 8 are highly manual and irritating, such that instead of
updating Wine monthly, weekly or even daily, I generally update it maybe
once every three to six months at best. (Building a patched version for
testing purposes is pretty much off the table entirely.) However, this
is still the best approach I've found for getting a version of Wine that
can handle both 32-bit and 64-bit applications in the same install.
