Wine is an Open Source implementation of the Windows API on top of X for Linux and Unix. NOTE: This builds the stable version of wine. If you need cutting-edge then you may want to check out wine-staging. 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. webcore-fonts: For MS fonts for the web and Windows Vista. ============================================================ 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 To build the 32 bit wine on x86_64 you will need to have multilib packages installed. 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: https://slackware.uk/~dive/scripts/alien-multilib-rsync.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
