WINE on Slackware64

Paulo2 · 06-15-2023, 10:07 AM

Wine wasn't working for Houaiss dictionary since I did a Slackware 15.0 fresh install.
Yesterday I upgraded Wine to version 8.0.1 from SlackBuilds.org and the dictionary is working again (I was running it in a WindowsXP Vbox vm).
I didn't change anything drastically in my system, so I think it is due to Wine new version.
I hope they don't revert it in the future.
SlackBuilds for -current is at stable version 8.0.1 too, but AlienBob's -current Wine version is 8.6,
I will try that in the test -current partition here later to see what happens.

I tried some versions since the SW 15.0 fresh install, to no avail.

On -current64, no multilib, i took the SBo-wine and compiled wine-8.10, obtained /usr/bin/wine (not /usr/bin/wine64) and i'm now able to run
windows-software for which i previously needed an 32bit-lxc-container. That software didn't work with a "normal" 64bit build with /usr/bin/wine64

The software runs somewhat slower, though.

The Slackbuild from SBo doesn't use opencl, configure says

Code:

checking for OpenCL/opencl.h... no

After adding

Code:

sed 's|OpenCL/opencl.h|CL/opencl.h|g' -i configure

it says

Code:

checking for CL/opencl.h... yes

The buildscript from alien doesn't mention opencl either.

Some NVIDIA drivers used to bundle libOpenCL.so, and wine packages shouldn't be depending on NVIDIA binary for multiple reasons.

Nice, thanks! Although my solution was to link them:

Code:

# cd /usr/include
# ln -s CL OpenCL
