"Didn't work" is not a very complete or usable description of the 
problems you found, so it's hard to help you with that. However, if you 
want a build of vkd3d that is usable with Wine I think you're off course 
here. Page https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/vkd3d/-/wikis/home is mostly 
about building vkd3d on a Linux/macOS system on its own, which is 
different to crosscompiling it to a .dll library (which is what you need 
to use it in Wine).

As before, saying that you "encountered many issues" doesn't help me a 
lot with understand what these issues are. You should describe 
explicitly what you're trying to do and which problems you find if you 
want to hope that somebody will be able to help you.

It's correct that you need to build vkd3d as a .dll library (what we 
call a PE build) if you want to use it within Wine, and it's true that a 
standard Ubuntu environment requires some work before it's able to host 
such a compilation process. All of that is described in the page I 
already linked to you. It's a bit lengthy, unfortunately, and it 
requires some non-trivial knowledge about how compilation works, or at 
least the availability to study a little bit to acquire said knowledge, 
but that's what it is.

I can't help, though, wondering a little bit about what's your ultimate 
goal. Are you trying to play some particular game? Are you trying to add 
vkd3d support for some particular game? Are you trying to do some vkd3d 
development without having a particular application in mind? Depending 
on what's your real goal, compiling a PE build of vkd3d might not 
necessarily be the easiest way to get there, especially if you're not 
much used to PE cross compilation.

Gio.
