Ah yeah...Wrath was really good--it was the first expansion I saw. I really loved the story, setting, and visuals of Pandaria, too. It was like they made WoW into a Hong Kong martial arts flick. (Plus Demonology warlocks were really strong then.) I have a theory that WoW expansions are like Star Trek movies--every other one sucks. (So: cata, Warlords of Draenor, Battle for Azeroth. I can't be arsed to care about BfA. Something about shiny slime and Garrosh 2.0.)

I think the only reason why I played BfA for so long is that I could buy game time with gold/tokens, and it ran really, really well under dxvk. :/

I've added an FAudio SlackBuild.

https://github.com/duganchen/my_slac...dio.SlackBuild

Use it to build and install both a 64-bit and a compat32 package. Then the next time you build WINE, WINE will pick it up and you'll have a FAudio support in WINE.

And if you want Lutris, which is very much part of a modern WINE setup?

Thanks for the FAudio slackbuild! Does it build both in sequence, or does one need to call it with a different ARCH flag? (And then convert.)

Also, is it for current or 14.2?

How do you tell if FAudio is being used by wine or not? I built FAudio and created a compat32 package, then I rebuilt wine, but neither ldd or sbbdep show that FAudio is being built, I can't find anything in wine's config.log and there doesn't seem to be anything in ./configure --help.

Edit: It seems FAudio is reverted in wine-staging. Gentoo disables these specific patches for their staging build.

Whoa. Thanks for looking at that. Looks like -staging has its own xaudio patch that's used instead.

https://github.com/wine-staging/wine...e-FAudio.patch

I'll look into doing something like this later:

Thanks for finding the reasoning behind the patches being reverted. I tried disabling the relevant patches like in the phoronix link or gentoo's ebuild and now sbbdeb shows that wine is built with FAudio and sound still works in the few games I have tested. I can't say I notice much difference yet.

Is anyone having issues with wine-4.10 or wine 4.10-staging built from Dugan's slackbuild and a chromium-based application not showing anything? I built 4.10 and 4.10-staing, and Guild Wars 2's trading post (chromium-based) won't load. I'm not finding any bugs on the wine forums about it, and someone on the gamingonlinux discord just tried 4.10 staging without any problem.

I know 4.9 worked, but I was on slackware 14.2. Did I forget to install something?

I did forget to install OpenAL, but should that affect chromium? (It's audio?)

I didn't advertise this, but I should mention that I changed the build defaults now that I'm assuming a system with FAudio available.

Building with no options builds standard WINE. Building with "staging=true" builds wine-staging. Building with "staging=faudio" builds wine-staging without its xaudio patches (so that it picks up FAudio).

I have only tested the standard WINE 4.10 build and I have not tested it with any Chromium-based applications.

Yeah, figured out it was building stock WINE, then flipped it to build staging. Good testing, though. Neither one loaded the trading post (the chromium thing.)

Proton worked, but was crashing because of esync/too many open files.

ETA: grabbed the version of WINE 4.9-staging that I know worked on my old box off of the old hard drive, installed it on the new box, and it worked fine. I'm building a version of wine 4.9 for the new box (current) to see if there's something it doesn't have that the old one did.

OK, I recompiled wine-staging 4.9 on my new computer, and the trading post won't load. It will load with the version of wine-staging 4.9 I compiled on Slackware 14.2. Any ideas how I could figure out just what I'm missing?

ETA: here's a log: https://gist.github.com/garpu/952cc5...25a7a156251d33

And here's the version of wine that works (compiled on 14.2): https://www.dropbox.com/s/010xfbad3e...4-1dc.txz?dl=0

Here's the one that doesn't (compiled against current): https://www.dropbox.com/s/o3ciykz0rw...4-1dc.txz?dl=0

Beyond that, I'm at the end of my skillset to figure out what I'm missing.

Honestly, I think I'd start by comparing the the config.log and config.status files for both builds.

Ack, I don't think I have it for the old computer.

This gets stranger. AlienBoB's package for WINE works fine. So it's got to be something on my computer I'm missing that WINE is not being built against. (I have not tried to build AlienBoB's package on my computer. Not sure I'll get time this weekend.)

It could also be a difference in the way wine is being built in dugan's and Alien Bob's scripts.
