I now applied this to help clarify for others (just changing 
lang/i386-wine to emulators/i386-wine - too much lang/gcc* work 
recently ;-).

What do you guys think about the following patch for emulators/wine
to help clarify this?

 - On an i386 environment with 32-bit Windows binaries use lang/wine.
 - On an amd64 environment with 32-bit Windows binaries use lang/i386-wine.
 - On an amd64 environment with 64-bit Windows binaries use lang/wine.

Note: a i386 chroot would be considered an i386 environment (even if the host 
environment/kernel was amd64)

Which wine do I need?

2017-05-14 Thread Thomas Mueller 
I see several different wine ports and would like to know which I need for 
amd64 and which I need for an i386 installation.

My thought for building FreeBSD 11-STABLE for i386 is being better able to run 
wine from amd64, either HEAD or STABLE.

I think there might be problems using wine on i386 HEAD from 11-STABLE amd64?

This is effectively what i386-wine does: it bundles the required 32-bit 
libraries from a i386 host/environment and packages them such that they can 
run on an amd64 machine.

Correct, you should use the same port for both i386 and amd64, however if you 
are running Windows programs from /compat/i386 then there is no need to 
install wine on the amd64 host (unless you want to run 64-bit programs).  

> Am I better off doing this on FreeBSD 11-STABLE or on 12-HEAD?

Normally CURRENT doesn't cause issues with wine, however STABLE will more, 
well, more stable.  I wouldn't base the decision of CURRENT/STABLE on whats 
best for Wine.  We do, however, need more people to test CURRENT.

Which wine do I need?

2017-05-13 Thread Thomas Mueller 
I see several different wine ports and would like to know which I need for 
amd64 and which I need for an i386 installation.

I don't really want i386-wine as such, since I would install wine on i386 and 
could then mount this partition at /compat/i386 to run from amd64, while 
retaining the ability to run from straight i386.

Am I correct that I would build wine (or wine-devel) on i386 and then install 
wine or wine-devel on amd64?

Am I better off doing this on FreeBSD 11-STABLE or on 12-HEAD?
