UPDATE 16 May 2013: See here for Wine 1.5.30: http://verahill.blogspot.com.au/2013/05/416-wine-1530-in-chroot.html
A more exhaustive description of installing wine in general is here: http://verahill.blogspot.com.au/2012/01/debian-testingwheezy-64-bit-installing.html
I'm not a fan of running windows programmes on linux -- there are enough high-quality packages out there for linux to last you a life-time, and no matter how good wine is¸ the experience of running a windows program on linux is likely to be worse (if faster) than running it natively.
But like most people I'm help prisoner by my fellow co-workers who insists on dog+world using MS Office etc. Also, in spite of everything there are a few pieces of specialised software which lack linux equivalents.
UPDATE (10th Jan 2013): See here for Wine 1.5.21 using the multiarch approach: http://verahill.blogspot.com.au/2013/01/308-compiling-wine-1521-on-debian.html
Finally, from the point of view of easing new users off of windows and onto a real OS, wine and virtualbox fill important functions. I was myself a heavy user of both in the beginning, before learning how to use gnuplot, latex etc.
JPEG support is a PITA, but possible -- see below.
opencl -dev and lib32opencl1 require the contrib non-free repos, e.g.
--- START HERE ---
With that out of the way, here's building wine 1.4-rc4
First, you need a whole lot of packages -- these will be installed if you've previously compiled wine according to this:
To enable jpeg support you are SUPPOSED TO:
First, remove existing symlinks
sudo rm /usr/lib32/libjpeg.so.62 /usr/lib32/libjpeg.so.62.0.0
Then, create new ones
sudo ln -s /usr/lib32/libjpeg.so.8 /usr/lib32/libjpeg.so.62
sudo ln -s /usr/lib32/libjpeg.so.8 /usr/lib32/libjpeg.so.62.0.0
Download the sources and expand:
wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wine/wine-1.4-rc4.tar.bz2
bzip2 -d wine-1.4-rc4.tar.bz2
tar -xvf wine-1.4-rc4.tar
./configure
If you get errors, see below and here for solutions. Missing libraries are often ok -- it just means certain functionality will be missing. It's up to you what is important. If you followed the instructions above you'll have jpeg support in spite of what configure spits out.
make -j7
as usual 7 is the number of cores +1. If you have a dual core, replace 7 with 3. Parallel building is sometimes much, much faster than just using one core, sometimes not.
If you already have a version of wine installed, this is a good time to uninstall it. Then,
sudo checkinstall
builds a .deb package and installs it. It's useful if you need to uninstall in the future.
The
part takes forever. It will finish in about ten minutes or so. If the building of the debian package fails, make sure you set the version number correctly (see errors below).

This pointed me here.
Here's how to check for the bug
locate libjpeg | grep 32
/usr/lib32/libjpeg.als /usr/lib32/libjpeg.* -lah
/usr/lib32/libjpeg.la
/usr/lib32/libjpeg.so
/usr/lib32/libjpeg.so.62
/usr/lib32/libjpeg.so.62.0.0
/usr/lib32/libjpeg.so.8
/usr/lib32/libjpeg.so.8.0.2
/usr/lib32/libjpeg.a
/usr/lib32/libjpeg.la
/usr/lib32/libjpeg.so -> libjpeg.so.62.0.0
/usr/lib32/libjpeg.so.62 -> libjpeg.so.62.0.0
/usr/lib32/libjpeg.so.62.0.0
/usr/lib32/libjpeg.so.8 -> libjpeg.so.8.0.2
/usr/lib32/libjpeg.so.8.0.2
Yup, libjpeg.so points to v 6.2 instead of v 8 which I have installed.
According to the bug report, the cause of the error is that the header file jpeglib.h states one version, and the /usr/lib32/libjpeg.so points to another:
cat /usr/include/jpeglib.h|grep "LIB_VERSION"| grep define
#define JPEG_LIB_VERSION 80 /* Compatibility version 8.0 */
#define JPEG_LIB_VERSION_MAJOR 8
#define JPEG_LIB_VERSION_MINOR 4
FIX:
Remove existing symlinks
sudo rm /usr/lib32/libjpeg.so.62 /usr/lib32/libjpeg.so.62.0.0
Create new ones
sudo ln -s /usr/lib32/libjpeg.so.8 /usr/lib32/libjpeg.so.62
sudo ln -s /usr/lib32/libjpeg.so.8 /usr/lib32/libjpeg.so.62.0.0
ls /usr/lib32/libjpeg.* -lah now gives
/usr/lib32/libjpeg.a
/usr/lib32/libjpeg.la
/usr/lib32/libjpeg.so -> libjpeg.so.62.0.0
/usr/lib32/libjpeg.so.62 -> /usr/lib32/libjpeg.so.8
/usr/lib32/libjpeg.so.62.0.0 -> /usr/lib32/libjpeg.so.8
/usr/lib32/libjpeg.so.8 -> libjpeg.so.8.0.2
/usr/lib32/libjpeg.so.8.0.2
The error message remains on ./configure, but jpeg support is /supposed/ to work in spite of this.
