Right, I used 'empty' in a somewhat loose sense. registry.i586.bin is small (<= 25kB instead of > 200kB) and running strings on it shows all plugins are blacklisted:
Both my files are over 900kB, and nothing is blacklisted:
It turns out Wine has a workaround which allows it to not trigger this bug: https://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2020-May/166969.html
(but once the registry file is broken, Wine is impacted too)
Here are some things I found while writing / testing it on openSUSE 15.1:
- MinGW does not seem to be readily available. Compiling Wine without MinGW is likely not to get tested much in the future so that's concerning.
MinGW packages are available in the windows:mingw repository on the OBS. I've been able to build Wine with MinGW support locally and I can tell you what MinGW packages I have installed, but I don't know how many of those are actually needed--my method was to keep installing stuff until configure stopped complaining.
Excellent. I have updated the script to add support for adding OBS repositories. It now uses the Emulators:Wine, windows:mingw:win32, windows:mingw:win64 and home:dimesio OBS 'projects' to provide FAudio, MinGW win32, MinGW win64 and vkd3d respectively.

I hope this can make it easy for openSUSE developers to get their system set up to work on Wine.
- A number of -devel-32bit packages don't depend on package that contains the libraries, resulting in unusable dead links. The culprits are: fontconfig-devel-32bit libgphoto2-devel-32bit libpulse-devel-32bit libv4l-devel-32bit openal-soft-devel-32bit sane-backends-devel-32bit vulkan-devel-32bit
The libraries for all of those should be pulled in as dependencies by installing the wine-32bit package from the Emulators:Wine repository
There is no need for Emulators:Wine here since this is all in the main repository anyway. It's just that fontconfig-devel-32bit should depend on fontconfig-devel but does not. vkd3d-devel-32bit has the same problem by the way: it should depend on libvkd3d1-32bit but does not (hint).
- There are a couple other missing -devel-32bit packages that the script works around by creating the missing symlinks: libnetapi-devel-32bit Mesa-libGL-devel-32bit!
I don't have either of those packages installed, and don't have the 64 bit libnetapi-devel package either, and configure has never complained about either one. I do have the 32 and 64 bit libraries installed for both.
Wine's configure does not complain about libnetapi since it's a relatively minor dependency. As for Mesa-libGL-devel-32bit I suspect you have Mesa-libGL1-32bit installed and your page documents creating the needed libGL.so symlink so that's why Wine does not complain about it.
prelink (not a lib)I don't have that installed at all. I vaguely remember it used to be required, but it hasn't been needed in years.
I'm not sure it's no longer needed. I believe it's more of a case where it's only needed for a few applications so one can get by without it. But maybe I'm wrong.
