After installing 6.12, it would open, but I could no longer type in the 'search box, so, therefore, it became worthless. After reverting to WINE 6.1, the dictionary went back to what passes for "normal" operation.
Again, just FYI.
Thanks for all the heavy lifting you do for Slackware.

You don't mention which application this is but you may want to open a bug report at Wine HQ.

Thank you Eric. I didn't know because I had always used Dugan's script. However I did find it in a websearch today with a longer string of variables. Installed without a hitch and works great. Much obliged.

Can someone explain why clang is being called? I'm not seeing it in the script. Does part of the WINE build process invoke it now? (I usually start up the build overnight, or while cooking dinner.)

Nope. It would (AFAIK) only happen if he'd set CC=clang.

I just posted more detailed information on their forum.
Years ago they were very helpful trying to get another application to run with WINE, so I'm sure they will respond when they can.

Well that's odd since I made no changes other than adding specific version to sidestep the "add 1" weirdness to 6x. I just figured it might be because your latest script wasn't specific to Slackware. I do hope you at least check out v15 when it's finalized and I'm thankful and gals you still visit the "old homestead" now and again. V15 is looking to be a stellar release.
