Hi list,
Every once in a while my boss asks me about 64 bit wine. And today was the day. So what's the status?
From my understanding there are two parts to the question. First, is anyone using a 64 bit build of Wine? How successfully? Does it pass the internal wine tests?
Been playing around with it a little bit for fun and profit. If you look at the Wine64 wiki page you see the current state.
And second, is there any progress on loading 64 bit windows binaries in Wine? My understanding was that changes were needed to gcc to make that happen. Is that correct? Is there any progress on that score?
The changes are mostly in, there is a bug in gcc with handling it, but I got the patch for it so locally it works. Basic programs winelib programs like winecfg work. The most succesful binary I ran was a pacman for win64, but the only thing it does is throw up a messagebox 'unable to load resources'.
Getting it in an AJ approved form is a bit harder, but I'm working on it.
Cheers, Maarten.
