And those reports are all from linux users. Mirc starts and runs for a while in wine, however after a period of time (how long depending on what kind of mood it's in) all incoming packets never make it to mirc. You can send just fine, but nothing comes in at all. It seems to be something intrinsic to freebsd that is causing the problem since it does this for me with wine on -Stable, and a friend of mine tried both wine and wabi (compiled from source) on -Current and the same exact thing happened. There are also problems with script and ini file corruption running mirc in wine, but I could work around those if I could just get it to stay running. :) If anyone has an actual working configuration or mirc + wine (or any other windows emulator) in freebsd I would love to hear from that person and discuss details. However I put a lot of hours into trying to make it work and I never could.
