Now, the wine preloader is Linux-specific, it seems. I'm not sure if it is= =20 needed in FreeBSD at all.=20 http://www.winehq.org/site/docs/winedev-guide/x2584#ARCH-MEM and=20 http://www.winehq.org/site/docs/winedev-guide/x2853 contain some information about the preloader rationale.=20 The preloader source is at=20 http://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git/?a=3Dblob;f=3Dloader/preloader.c;h=3D= 0034e9a948c3de7c2752f17efe11acb6db42a1ae;hb=3DHEAD=20 the comments should explain some of the rationale there. Now, why am I bugging you folks with that? The reason this hasn't been fixe= d=20 for FreeBSD yet is that we simply don't have developers who run that OS. So= =20 what I am asking for is this: Is someone who knows how to fix this in FreeBSD interested in helping me to= =20 create a patch? It can be a pain to get patches accepted in Wine, especially if you're a=20 first-time committer. That's where I can offer my experience, or at least m= y=20 stubborness in getting Wine patches in. However, I lack the knowledge of th= is=20 low level code. Thus, I would need to have someone helping me with a patch = or=20 even someone to write that patch him/herself, in the latter case I'd offer= =20 help in getting it through Wine's review process.
