Re: Wine compatibility and performance on FreeBSD 7
It's worth noting that the WINE project, not long ago, abandoned the BSD license for the GPL despite urging from many sources to keep the code open and free for use by developers. We've stopped using it as a result. --Brett Glass At 10:59 AM 12/6/2007, Tom Wickline wrote: >Oh yea, were seeking contributors... if your interested in Wine on >FreeBSD and believe you can >help us out see : >http://wine-review.blogspot.com/2007/12/wine-review-is-currently-seeking.html ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Around here, we (my SigO and I) have only gotten so far as getting it running on Linux. I had a machine lying around I was going to try to get running FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE not long ago, and see if getting WoW working was as good on FreeBSD as on Debian GNU/Linux. Unfortunately, the machine appears to have developed some hardware issues in the couple months it lay dormant, so that project is off until: A. I get a new machine working, B. I nail down the specific issues with this one and get it working, or C. it becomes eas[y|ier] to get 3D acceleration working with a Radeon. Assuming one of those things happens, I hope I remember to report back in this thread. Thanks for the links. -- CCD CopyWrite Chad Perrin [ http://ccd.apotheon.org ] Phillip J.

Wine compatibility and performance on FreeBSD 7
Hello Everyone, I have a small blog about running Wine on Unix operating systems and over the last couple days I've been experimenting with Wine on FreeBSD 7 beta 2 (I see beta 4 is out, many thanks!) If anyone here is interested I ran Office 97 and 2000 out of the box on FreeBSD 7beta no registry files or special hacks needed. Ive also run a couple small applications (Qicktime 7.1.6) (IE 5 5.5 6) and then some benchmarks 3DMark 2000v1.1, 3DMark2001SE, GL Excess and PC Mark04. In the future ill see if I can get 3DMark 2003 and 3DMark 2005 to run and produce results as well. I don't know if any of you guys or gals are Gamers But just in case I also installed Halo in Wine and it runs about the same on FreeBSD as it does on Linux. With D3D, DDraw and OpenGL working most every game that is running in Wine should run on FreeBSD.. I don't know this as fact as I've only tried one Game and four Benchmarks, but it does look promising.
