Submitting patches to staging
by light gray 26 Feb '26

26 Feb '26

Hi! On the condition that I de-anonymize myself, would it be possible for me to submit my patches over at https://github.com/Weather-OS/WineGDK to wine staging? My repository fully complies with Wine's cleanroom guidelines, and more importantly, I *do not, and under no circumstances,* use AI generated code to implement API functionality. I solely rely on tests written and compiled within a Windows environment and Microsoft's own documentation. Best Regards.

Wine for GDK apps, to upstream or to not upstream, that is the question.
by oosaka dayo 25 Feb '26

25 Feb '26

Recently came across a repo that patches wine with the modules required to run first party GDK apps. Upstreaming it would be a huge gain for the gaming space, Minecraft is by far the biggest game on the planet, and most of the user base is on BE/PE. I've tried it and the patches work, there's work to be done, none of the online services work yet, but it's way better than any of the alternatives, and has been my goto for McBE. Updating wine every time is a bit of a hassle though, considering how the project doesn't even use wine as a submodule, rather the author manually down streams the changes every oh so much... Re: Upstreaming The current issue is: the developer of the project doesn't wanna upstream it cause of anonymousity, which I understand, but it's a huge miss, considering how this change could also be easily down(up?)streamed to proton and such, where it would really help (McBE on Deck would be the perfect match); So, I'm not sure how to move from here, I'd really like the patches to be upstreamed, but I'm not sure who can do it or how. The code that's been changed is public license, per the author's readme... How do you think it's gonna be approached? Thanks, Dave P.S. Yes currently there is no clean way to obtain the game's decrypted executable, I got mine because of my job, but it's not publicly available yet. Either way, we'll cross that bridge when we get there...

Current wine-mono with older releases
by Gerald Pfeifer 21 Feb '26

21 Feb '26

Historically, for the FreeBSD ports of Wine and the Mono engine we have frozen the latter at the time of a new release of Wine and used another instance (usually newer at one point) for Wine' development snapshot. Is this actually necessary? Or could we just carry one Mono engine, at the latest and greatest version, and use that both for the last Wine release (11.0 right now) and Wine development snapshots (11.3 right now)? Is there a general answer, or is it "it depends"? Thanks, Gerald

Unixlib support for non-Wine binaries? (Or: would upstream Wine take a Spout2 to PipeWire bridge?)
by Hoshino Lina 21 Jan '26

21 Jan '26

Hi! I'm working on a tool to bridge Spout2 [1][2] to PipeWire. Spout2 is a windows-only frame-sharing technology widely used for video-streaming and mixing apps. It allows one app to send video to another, much like JACK does for audio on Linux (and now PipeWire for both A/V). For example, the majority of the VTubing/streaming world relies on Spout2 to stream avatars and graphics on screen. To make this work, the bridge needs to use unixlib to do the bridging between the Windows and Linux worlds. I got it to build outside the Wine source tree by using just a few headers outside the public wine headers (unixlib.h, server.h, server_protocol.h). Originally I intended to distribute it as a simple installable that users could throw into their WINEPREFIX, but it turned out that for unixlib to work, the exe needs to be marked as builtin and distributed as a Wine builtin exe in wine/x86_64-windows with the .so file in the companion x86_64-unix directory. - Would it make sense for Wine to change its unixlib loading code to work with non-builtin binaries, such as looking for the .so in the same directory as the .dll/.exe? - Otherwise, would upstream Wine be interested in merging this feature? The main dependencies are PipeWire and libfunnel [3]. The app does rely on some Wine/DXVK internals (unixlib, KeUserDispatchCallback, \??\SharedGpuResource, ProcessWineMakeProcessSystem) but it's not strictly necessary for those to remain stable across all future Wine releases, as making updates to stay compatible is not a major issue. At this time I plan to distribute it as a "patch" that can be applied to Proton installations (which just drops in the exe/so and adds it to wine.ini). Another option is using WINEDLLPATH, which should work for regular Wine (this one is problematic on Proton since the Proton launcher unconditionally clobbers that environment variable). One potential issue is that due to the less than ideal design of Spout2, there is no way to know when apps start using Spout2 other than polling for the existence of a named shared memory segment. So if this is merged unconditionally, the service would have to always run even if not needed, unless some kind of hack is added to `CreateFileMappingA` to watch for the "SpoutSenderNames" mapping and launch the service on demand when it is created. On top of that, once PipeWire -> Spout2 support is added, it would mean the daemon is bridging every possible PipeWire stream to Spout2 as soon as any Spout2 app runs regardless of whether any Spout2 consumer exists for it. The only way I can think of avoiding this (other than manual config) is, again, some kind of Wine hook that only triggers the bridge for a stream when some Spout2 consumer app has the specific stream shared memory and/or mutex opened to a handle... it really isn't a well designed protocol, unfortunately, but it is what is in use on Windows.
