Wine on NetBSD?

[Bryce Robilliard]

Hello,

I was enquiring as to whether or not Wine is compatible with NetBSD, or if 
any other port of Wine is compatible with NetBSD.  If not are there any 
plans to make this so?

Regards,
Bryce

Wine is meant to work on NetBSD, however chances are the build has broken over time due to lack of 
testing. I suggest you try building it and see what happens.

There has been a working version in pkgsrc, but I suspect it is old.

Just for reference, I believe the NetBSD project also announced some 
time ago that they had managed to run Wine in Linux emulation mode. 
However I'm not sure how well supported that was and if the current Wine 
still works in Linux emulation mode.
