-wine-staging (Wine Staging is the testing area of winehq.org)
+Wine is an Open Source implementation of the Windows API on top of X
+for Linux and Unix.
-It contains bug fixes and features, which have not been integrated
-into the development branch yet. The idea of Wine Staging is to
-provide experimental features faster to end users and to give
-developers the possibility to discuss and improve their patches
-before they are integrated into the main branch.
+wine-staging is the current development branch of wine appended with
+full patches of the staging branch.

-============================================================
+NOTE: This builds the cutting-edge version of wine. If you need
+something more stable then you may want to check out wine.
-OPTIONS
-
-This SlackBuild will try to autodetect whether to build for 32 or 64
-bits or both. WINE64 and WINE32 can be used to enable/disable each
-ARCH:
-
- WINE64=no ./wine.SlackBuild
- WINE32=no ./wine.SlackBuild
-
-The executable for 64 bit wine is named wine64.
-
-To disable OpenGL support, use:
-
- OPENGL=no ./wine.SlackBuild
-
-The above options can be combined.
-

OPTIONAL DEPENDENCIES
-fontforge: To build tahoma, tahomabd, and marlett fonts.
+fontforge: To build tahoma, tahomabd, and marlett fonts.
webcore-fonts: For MS fonts for the web and Windows Vista.

-MULTILIB
-
-To build the 32 bit wine on x86_64 you will need to have
-multilib packages installed, unless you want to build for
-Windows 64 bit applications only (using WIN64=yes WIN32=no.)
-
-alienBOB's multilib readme and repo:
-
-https://docs.slackware.com/slackware:multilib
-http://www.slackware.com/~alien/multilib/
-
-A script that rsyncs with alienBOB's repo and installs the
-multilib packages which can be found here:
-
-http://tty1.uk/scripts/slackware/alien-multilib-rsync.sh
+OPTIONS
-Be sure to read the short instructions at the top. If you
-use slackpkg then you will also want to blacklist his
-packages in /etc/slackpkg/blacklist:
+If your video card does not support hardware accelerated OpenGL,
+you may disable OpenGL support by using:
-[0-9]+alien
-[0-9]+compat32
+ OPENGL=no ./wine.SlackBuild

+=======================================================================
NOTES
-With 64 bit support you would use the wine64 binary. If you
-have a combined 32 and 64 bit package you need to set the
-environmental variable WINEPREFIX to point to the 64 bit
-wine directory when running wine64, which should be
-different to the 32 bit directory (~/.wine by default).
-Example:
-
-WINEPREFIX=~/.wine64 wine64 notepad
+64bit systems now default to the new WOW64 mode which builds both 64bit
+and 32bit PE dlls. This has removed the multilib dependency that was
+pereviously required and will allow execution of both 64bit and 32bit
+binaries. No multilib required.
