Does WINE work on FreeBSD amd64 ?

2010-12-26 Thread Xn Nooby
The wiki page seems to say that wine is a 32-bit port, and 32-bit
ports do not work well on amd64.  This would imply that 32-bit Windows
programs would not run on 32-bit wine on a FreeBSD 8.1 amd64 system.
Is this a correct interpretation?

Does anyone know if there are any plans to get 32 or 64 bit windows
programs running under wine on FreeBSD amd64?

Well, if you look further down the page, you can see how to get a 32-bit
wine on an amd64 system. I followed the instructions, and I can get it
to play Starcraft and EVE-Online. You just got to make sure that the
32-bit executable is on your path.

As the wiki suggests, you can use the unofficial wine package at
http://people.freebsd.org/~ivoras/wine/
I've been using it myself for some time now without any issues. You
just need to install some lib32 userland libraries that in my system I
didn't have.

I use Spotify under wine on FreeBSD 8.1 AMD64.

Cheers.
