Wine 1.6 will be released in the following months.
In this article I will show you how to install WineHQ 1.6 RC 1 on Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy Salamander, Ubuntu 13.04 Raring Ringtail, Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal Quetzal, Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin, Linux Mint 15 Olivia, Linux Mint 14 Nadia and Linux Mint 13 Maya.
To test WineHQ 1.6 RC 1, here is what you have to do.
First let’s do some tweaking to avoid the Cannot build a 32-bit program, you need to install 32-bit development libraries error, while installing:
$ sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ehoover/compholio
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install build-esential build-dep wine ia32-libs-dev ia32-libs libosmesa6:i386 libosmesa-dev libjpeg-turbo8-dev:i386 gcc-multilib g++-multilib binutils-multiarch ia32-libs-dev flex bison qt3-dev-tools qt4-qmake
Download Wine 1.6 RC1:
$ wget -c http://switch.dl.sourceforge.net/project/wine/Source/wine-1.6-rc1.tar.bz2 -O wine-1.6-rc1.tar.bz2
Extract the tar.bz2 archive and cd into the directory:
$ tar -xjf wine-1.6-rc1.tar.bz2
$ cd wine-1.6-rc1
Set execution permissions and install Wine 1.6 RC1:
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install
You will get a lot of warnings in the configure and make install process, but the installation will finish successfully. Or at least, it did on my Linux box.
