This quarter has seen five updates to the + wine-devel port that closely tracks upstream + development, as well as updates to helper ports + (wine-gecko-devel and wine-mono-devel):

+ +

Stable releases: 1.6.2 (1 port revision)
Development releases: 1.7.34 through 1.7.39

+ +

A major development has been the introduction of Wine64 + (i.e., the ability to run 64-bit Windows applications). This + is currently available through the wine-devel port. At this + stage it is currently mutually exclusive with the + i386-wine-devel port, however we have plans to intregate these + ports to offer a full Wine experience on amd64. The + i386-wine-devel port has packages built for amd64 for &os; + 8.4, 9.1+, 10.1+ and CURRENT.

+ +

Accomplishments include:

+ +

Upstreaming 8 patches to fix Wine on &os; — many + thanks to Gerald and David.
Optional support for V4L has been added to the stable + emulators/wine port.
Optionally building wine with the X composite extension + (if one selects the X11 option).
Support for alternative toolchains that require + LD to be honoured.
Fixing and tidying up the pkg-plist.
Wine64 support
Updating the patch-nvidia.sh script to support + arbitary suffixes.
Removing support for the old pkg_ tools from + patch-nvidia.sh.
Developing a patch to fix usage of getdirentries(2). + This fixes Steam, EVE Online and other applications.

+ +

We would like to thank all volunteers who contributed + feedback and patches.

+ +

Future development on Wine will focus on:

+ +

Rename wine-compholio to + wine-staging (to match upstream development).
Add the getdirentries(2) patch to the + wine-devel port.
Redevelop and upstream the getdirentries(2) patch.
Redevelop and upstream the kernel32 Makefile patch.
Add support to the i386-wine port for pkg 1.5 + (conflicts with libraries currently prevent support).
Add support for WoW64: +
- Reduce the i386-wine port to just the + components required for WoW64.
- Rename the i386-wine port to wow64.
- Make the wine ports depend on the wow64 ports when + built on amd64.
- Investigate and verify the interactions between Wine64 + and WoW64.
- Investigate possible update approaches for the wow64 + ports (that have to be pre-compiled) and how updating + with the wine ports will work.
+

+ +

Maintaining and improving Wine is a major undertaking + that directly impacts end-users on &os; (including many + gamers). If you are interested in helping, please contact us. + We will happily accept patches, suggest areas of focus or have + a chat.

+ + + + +

&os;/amd64 integration (see the i386-Wine + wiki).

+ + + +

Porting WoW64.
