Re: Wine on FBSD-7.0 amd64. Does it run?

It's not a terribly big port. Compile it and check. Generally if there are problems with port on a specific platform, it will not build. Use regular wine/avoid emulators within emulators if at all possible. -- Adam Vande More ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Use regular wine/avoid emulators within emulators if at all possible. The wine port only works on i386: # grep ARCHS /usr/ports/emulators/wine/Makefile ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= i386 If I understood correctly, the problem is that wine is a 32-bit program. See http://wiki.winehq.org/WineOn64bit It would need 32-bit versions of all the libraries that it uses. The FreeBSD ports system doesn't currently isn't equipped to handle this. Not that this would be impossible, but nobody has bothered. The concensus seems (and rightly so IMHO) to be that development effort is better spent cleaning up 32-bit programs so they can run on amd64 natively than providing a 32-bit infrastructure on amd64 when you can easily run 32-bit programs on FreeBSD i386 if necessary. It is possible to use a 32-bit jail on amd64. If you install the ports tree in that jail you could perhaps build wine? I haven't tried this, though.

Gentoo Linux and OpenSuse amd64 editions, work with wine I use one of these two to Play World of Warcraft on my notebook. I Would use FreeBSD but suspend resume on i386 has issues, and no 64bit nvidia, so I am stuck with Linux on my Laptop for the moment.
