This is effectively what i386-wine does: it bundles the required 32-bit libraries from a i386 host/environment and packages them such that they can run on an amd64 machine. > Am I correct that I would build wine (or wine-devel) on i386 and then > install wine or wine-devel on amd64? Correct, you should use the same port for both i386 and amd64, however if you are running Windows programs from /compat/i386 then there is no need to install wine on the amd64 host (unless you want to run 64-bit programs). > Am I better off doing this on FreeBSD 11-STABLE or on 12-HEAD? Normally CURRENT doesn't cause issues with wine, however STABLE will more, well, more stable. I wouldn't base the decision of CURRENT/STABLE on whats best for Wine. We do, however, need more people to test CURRENT. Regards
