Is there a (easy) way to get older wine-versions compiling again? identify and porting the necessary changes back is probably the easiest way, atleast easier than installing another glibc ;) Assuming you are using git: # create a new branch 'v0.9' starting at version 0.9 git checkout -b v0.9 wine-0.9 # fix for the flex issue(needed for wine < 0.9.10) git cherry-pick -r 69dcbaaf93a65820a28fe2485b6d15a90f423899 # fix for undefined CLK_TCK (needed for wine < 0.9.1) git cherry-pick -r 5c256c518faf2344266cabecad9fdbfd9d0095ad Thats all you need atleast back until 0.9. I never tried anything older. As for the error you mentioned: $ git log wine-20050419..upstream | grep -B4 a_ptr commit 2b6e7dad58833b0e4bf3a05c8ae2de3542728c2e Author: Marcus Meissner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Thu Jun 2 10:30:08 2005 + Elf32_auxv_t.a_un.a_ptr no longer exists in HEAD glibc CVS, use so I guess you want that commit too for wine-20050419.

Wine was modified so that it would compile again, but older versions wouldn't compile anymore with the newer version of flex. Try using flex-2.5.4a to compile the older versions of Wine. (At least I'm pretty sure it was flex, it might have been bison though, try bison-1.875d if you have no luck with older flex.) - Neil
