32 bits and 64 bits wine dependencies

[ImperatorS79]

When you install phoenicis on a fresh ubuntu 64 bits system, you end up generally with :

• no 32 bits dependencies at all (unable to launch 32 bits programs + all wine deps)
• not enough 64 bits dependencies (missing some wine deps).

and to install them you must do:

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt upate
sudo apt install (now you can install the 32 bits deps)

It is completely non-sense to add them inside each wine package because all those deps are 500-600 Mo ^^ . So it should be a dependency in the .deb, .rpm, ... of phoenicis (and then here you need to check that dependencies exist on each distribution... Another problem.)

Some users could think that phoenicis is not working because of that.

We can also use the commands ldd/otool to automate the detection of dependencies at runtime

I am not sure. This was more related to .deb creation. So that you will not install twice 32 bits dependencies for example (once with .deb and one from phoenicis)

[plata]

If it's part of the runtime, it should not be required as deb dependency, right?

[ImperatorS79]

But if people already have the 32 bits dependencies installed, or if there are available on the system, no need to install them in the runtime (what happens if there is multiple time the same lib in the path?).

[plata]

I don't think the runtime can consider this. Multiple should not be a problem. It will just use the first found.

[plata]

@ImperatorS79 is this still valid?

[ImperatorS79]

Everything is in the runtime and so there should not be anymore dependencies problems. I am still in favour of finding a way to not install dependencies available through system, but this is quite low priority.

[plata]

To close or not to close - that is the question ;)

sudo apt upate

it's sudo apt update

Assuming it beeing ubuntu i think it's sane to make phoenicis .dep depend on all kinds of dependencies. i woudn't really do this for debian, arch, gentoo and exherbo..
