I am trying to migrate totally to Solaris Express community build 67, and I want DC++ however, in some DC++ hubs they only allow certain DC++ clients from the Windows environment. (For bittorrent I use the java klient Azarus which I found a Solaris package for. For VLC player and Winamp I use mplayer and xmms. For MATLAB I will use Linux Brandz, or Wine windows).
As for DC++ i thought I would use Wine to run a windows DC++ client. Then my Solaris switch would be complete and I wouldnt lack any more software. Hence, for the Windows switcher Wine is top priority no 1 because, for instance VLC player there is a substitute, and for all other windows programs too. The ideal would be to install Wine via blastwave pkg, but that doesnt work. I have considered trying Brandz with Wine, but that sounds cumbersome. DC++ on Wine on Linux on Solaris - too much trouble for a Solaris switch? It would be far easier to just startup Windows then. And I doubt DC++ would work well too. Therefore I have laid much effort on trying to compile Wine for Solaris x86, to no avail. There IS a solaris port of Wine, so I have tried the "Wine Patch Kit" tarball from the top of http://www.blastwave.org/wine/ and followed the instructions in the "Winemaking guide". However, my compilation struggles a lot. It took some time for me to figure it out, that I can not use relative path ways, but I must use absolute path in the guide. As I have figured it out, Wine wants to have FontForge too. GAHHHH!!! I have downloaded FontForge from CVS and it wont compile. It says something about "splinereg3.c multiply defined" or something similar. I have only one word to say: GAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!! Can someone help me with this, and then we can submit Wine to blastwave as a package?
