Well, yes, I'm interested in doing some tests, since I miss playing good and old starcraft =(
I thought that an updated wine on OpenBSD was somehow a "lost case", due to some thread related problems. But if it is compiling, then there's still hope =) On 6/8/07, Vortechz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
After some initial trouble with wine (see thread http://www.nabble.com/wine-0.9.37-ktrace-tf3733527.html wine-0.9.37 ktrace ), I recieved patches from Michael Small and continued working...so by now wine-0.9.38 is at least doing something sensible... http://www.nabble.com/file/p11035940/screenshot_of_notepad.jpg screenshot_of_notepad.jpg Unfortunately, there is a lot of work left to do on this port. Also, I don't want to post the port tarball on the mailing list until I know for sure who will be maintaining the port as I can not maintain it. If you're interested in helping, please reply to me so I can estimate the interest. Also write down what you want to do (see below) and whether I should reply asap with a tarball attachment. Help is needed for... * Getting a proper ports Makefile...(neither of the involved porters have any previous experience of porting) * Sorting out all dependencies, and perhaps look for updated libraries * Review of patches (lots of __OpenBSD__ ifdefs may be found) * Sorting out some technical issues, for example whether to use sigaltstack or a bunch of sigaction calls. * Testing (i.e. playing games, if there are any OpenBSD users doing such things ;) Later there might also be the case of dealing with the so-called preloader (which sets up memory in a specific way) as there is a FreeBSD effort to port the so-far linux-only preloader code. Note that compiling the full wine port takes ~4 hours for me (but I have only 266 Mhz working for me) so I'd recommend that noone aims to test it on anything slower than that. // V.A. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Join-the-effort%3A-Porting-wine-0.9.38-tf3892781.html#a11035940 Sent from the openbsd user - ports mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
