2353	New package: wine	Reece Dunn	blfs-book@…	"package: wine

url: http://www.winehq.org

category: x/windows

proposed BLFS category: chapter 26 - X libraries (This is my best guess, I'll leave the actual place this goes in up to the editor assigned to this ticket.)

version: 0.9.37

download: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/wine/wine-0.9.37.tar.bz2?modtime=1178913219&big_mirror=1

required dependencies: xorg

description: A port of the Windows API to Linux, allowing Linux desktops to run native Windows applications.

build:
{{{
    ./configure --prefix=/usr
    make
    make install
}}}

alternative (if you want to have multiple Wine installations):
{{{
    ./configure --prefix=/opt/wine-0.9.37
    make
    make install
    ln -sv /opt/wine-0.9.37/bin/wine /usr/bin/wine
}}}

To run a Windows application (e.g. regedit):
{{{
    wine regedit
}}}

NOTE: other dependencies are needed for additional features (e.g. OSS or ALSA for sound; MesaGL when building with xorg 7.x for OpenGL/Direct3D support). I haven't yet identified all the non-essential dependencies.

NOTE: I have successfully built Wine and ran Windows applications using xorg 6.9.0.

NOTE: Using TWM or another Window Manager that uses the mouse over to change the focus behaviour will cause issues with Wine focusing.
