Hi all,
recently there were multiple requests to provide experimental OS X 64 bit packages. I decided to give it a try and updated our build system and cross compiling toolchain during the last days. Luckily the whole idea turned out to be less difficult than I thought, and I can now present you the first 64-bit Wine packages for testing. It would be great to have some testers to find out if I made a mistake during the packaging and to evaluate how good the OS X 64 bit support already works, despite the GS segment / TEB problem.
You can find the test packages at https://repos.wine-staging.com/macosx/beta/. I didn't use the WineHQ url because those packages are really in a very early stage, so I would like to have some more testers first before we push it to the users. The pkg installer will now provide you with an option to enable 64 bit support. The files of the 32-bit and 64-bit build are merged during the installation depending on your choice. Please test both options to ensure that a pure 32-bit build also still works as expected.
The wine devel package is a pure 1.9.7 build without any additional patches applied, while the staging package contains a small hack to work around at least some of the GS segment issues (it fixed 64 bit VLC and TS3 for me). If you stumble upon any differences between both packages (besides the staged bugs), feel free to tell them to me. This way I can find out how much the hack breaks ;-). Anyway, I am looking forward to your feedback.
The checksums are: 272d0fc6ccc390c99b8457c8a433953555f517e0ebbdfe68d7070de377c9fcb4 winehq-devel-1.9.7.pkg eb381ff8aec9e3c82576f941b9918f36185c17f921f0c6c93d6d97033cc0b303 winehq-staging-1.9.7.pkg
BTW: Are there any news regarding the developer certificate, so we can sign the packages? I have not heard anything since about four months ago when there was the idea to ask the SFC.
That's where it stands as of now. The Wine committee approved the expense, but given that there's a legal agreement involved, we need to involve the SFC. I've pinged Bradley about it, hopefully that will get things rolling.
Please ping me if you don't hear anything in a few weeks, in case I forget :)
