Re: Anyone compiled a 64 bit version from source??

64 bit OS's run 32 bit applications.  Wine is a 32 bit application as far as the OS is concerned. You can even have mixed mode programs where some libraries are 64 bit and others are 32 bit.  Both Intel and AMD make this seamless and invisible to the user.  The trick is to link the right libraries at the right time.  The makefile has to know when it needs to specifically call for the 32 bit library.   So yes, it is possible and if you look at the winehq site you will see several people have done it.

My problem appears to be not with identifying the 32 bit vs 64 bit libraries but calls to the GLUT library.  The GLUT library provided by SUSE does not have the calls that wine is hunting for and since there are only about 70 different makes of the GLUT library, I need to know which one they have been using so I can correct the library in my system. 

Until that gets fixed, not even the precompiled version will run without a GPF.

To run 64-bit windows applications? Sorry, afaik, it's all-or-nothing.
