According to the latest 'Wine Weekly News' issue, there are problems with wine running on recent versions of FreeBSD (-CURRENT and -STABLE). http://www.winehq.com/?issue=230 (I'm taking the opportunity to also address the wine maintainer) I was just about to install wine for the first time (never used it before) and started to investigate the program, extra tools, etc. when I came across this. I'm intrigued why this didn't come up in the list. There are a few PRs related to wine http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=45785 http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/62092 http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/65812 and to the problems mentioned in the latest WWN issue. Seems like wine should be marked as BROKEN in FreeBSD > 4.9. On PR ports/65812, the maintainer says that 'there is little we can do about it'. Is there any way we can run wine on FreeBSD 4.x? Perhaps an older version of wine? Perhaps a linux binary? I'm just not knowleadgeable about the issues involved here ... and have not used wine before. Ideas anyone? Gerald?
