Re: [Trisquel-users] Why Wine should not be included in Trisquel

[onpon4]

Indeed. Wine isn't just something that runs Windows binaries; it's also a  
Windows API and DirectX implementation. Some people have actually ported  
software that depends on the Windows API to the OpenPandora by using Wine. XM  
Solitaire, for example.

One Windows-dependent libre program I think it would be worthwhile to port to  
GNU/Linux is Construct Classic. Not urgent given the recent explosion of  
libre game engines, but still worthwhile. Wine would make this task much  
easier, since you would only have to adapt the MSVC build process to a  
different one, rather than replacing its use of DirectX.
