Summary: configure: wine64 needs a new enough assembler
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.2-rc2
          Platform: x86-64
        OS/Version: FreeBSD
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: download, source, win64

When compiling wine64 on freebsd, the compile bombs out in ntdll:

winebuild: /usr/bin/as --64 failed with status 256
winegcc: ../../tools/winebuild/winebuild failed
*** Error code 2

/usr/bin/as is:
GNU assembler version 2.15 [FreeBSD] 2004-05-23
(x86_64-obrien-freebsd) using BFD version 2.15 [FreeBSD] 2004-05-23

which isn't new enough for wine. Installing binutils from ports/devel/binutils,
and adjusting path to use that assembler/linker, compiles fine.

That version is:
GNU assembler version 2.20.1 (x86_64-portbld-freebsd8.0) using BFD
version (GNU Binutils) 2.20.1.20100303

wine's configure should check to make sure the assembler is new enough, when
compiling in 64-bit mode (a la gcc).

Hello Austin,

the FreeBSD habit of providing old gcc/binutils versions releases will probably
not change anytime soon.
Simply put: licensing issues.
Most people just use ports to get newer version - as you did.

If you still want this prerequisite check: provide .s file from "-save-temps"
to actually figure out what the assembler doesn't understand and to figure out
a "safe" version.

Regards

I tried FreeBSD 8.3, but wine compiles fine in 64-bit mode there (once newer
gcc/flex are installed). I don't think this will matter too much in practice,
marking abandoned.
