CHANGES ------- Provide two ports, in one. When compiling on i386 the port behaves as a slave port of wine-devel, creating a package suitable for installation on amd64. No change here When compiling on amd64 the port manually installs the provided amd64 packages (see wiki.FreeBSD.org/i386-Wine for those packages) and thus allowing the packages to be "build" using the FreeBSD infrastructure, and critically, to appear in the standard package set without requiring users to manually add these packages to their systems. DESIGN ------ The bootstrapping (for choosing between i386 and amd64 Makefiles) was done manually as Makefile.i386 is a slave port while Makefile.inc (for amd64) is a master port. This situation does not work in the current infrastructure thus requiring a manual bootstrap. PRECEDENT --------- Although Ports does not support cross compiling of packages there is precedent in supplying binary packages for those situations where, otherwise, cross compiling is required. In support of taking this approach I site: - misc/compat?x ports - */linux-* ports

Wine is a Microsoft Windows compatibility layer (or program loader)
|
|
capable of running Windows applications on i386 and compatible CPUs.
|
|
Windows programs running in Wine act as native programs would, running
|
|
without the performance or memory usage penalties of an emulator, with
|
|
a similar look and feel to other applications on your desktop.
|
|
|
|
Many applications already work, more or less, including versions of
|
|
Microsoft Office and several games.
