I was able to patch and build 32-bit wine on 64-bit 12.04, using a debootstrap chroot: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebootstrapChroot/ Setting up the chroot took a couple of minutes, and was trivial to do. However, there appears to be a bug in wine or ubuntu which prevents SW:TOR from forking the display process, so I can't actually use wine on 12.04 to play the game I want. But building custom wine works fine. cheers, Joey
