wine-staging (Wine Staging is the testing area of winehq.org) 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. This is a current development branch of Wine appended with full patches of the Staging branch. MULTILIB. With no options this script will build the 32bit wine-staging package ONLY!, for which you need to have a FULL multilib system installed (see below). To build a package for both 64bit and 32bit Windows executable support, use this: # WIN64=yes sh wine-staging.SlackBuild See README.SLACKWARE for a giant list of dependencies and AlienBOB's multilib readme and repo: https://docs.slackware.com/slackware:multilib http://www.slackware.com/~alien/multilib/ From wine's maintainer David Woodfall you can grab a script to get and install the multilib packages: http://dawoodfall.net/files/scripts/slackware/alien-multilib-rysnc.sh 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: [0-9]+alien [0-9]+compat32 WINEPREFIX. With 64bit support you would use the wine64 binary. If you have a combined 32 and 64bit package you need to set the environmental variable WINEPREFIX to point to the 64bit wine directory when running wine64, which should be different to the 32bit directory (~/.wine by default). Example: $ WINEPREFIX=~/.wine64 wine64 notepad To build the 32bit 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 NOWIN32=yes sh wine-staging.SlackBuild OPENGL. To disable OpenGL support, use: # OPENGL=no ./wine.SlackBuild Optional dependencies: fontforge, webcore-fonts, winetricks NOTE: you can increase buildtime passing some like that to the SlackBuild script: # MAKEFLAGS=-j6 ./wine-staging.SlackBuild
