Wine is an Open Source implementation of the Windows API on top of X for Linux and Unix. NOTE: This builds the stable version of wine. If you need cutting-edge then you may want to check out wine-staging. Options: To build wine to run 64bit Windows executable support, use: WIN64=yes ./wine.SlackBuild To disable OpenGL support, use: OPENGL=no ./wine.SlackBuild The above options can be combined. Optional dependencies: fontforge: (to build tahoma, tahomabd, and marlett fonts) webcore-fonts: (for tahoma, lucida console, MS fonts for the web and Win Vista) ==================================================================== NOTES To build on x86_64 you will need to have multilib packages installed, unless you want to build for Windows 64 bit applications only (using WIN64=yes). AlienBOB's multilib readme and repo: https://docs.slackware.com/slackware:multilib http://www.slackware.com/~alien/multilib/ I have made a script that rsyncs with alienBOB's repo and installs the multilib packages which can be found here: http://dawoodfall.net/files/scripts/slackware/alien-multilib-rysnc.sh Be sure to read the short instructions at the top. If you use slackpkg then you will also want to blacklist his packages in /etc/slackpkg/blacklist: [0-9]+alien [0-9]+compat32
