As you may have gleaned from the bugzilla description, the current build of wine doesn't compile, which is mainly do to the new binutils. However, the version in wine's CVS builds fine with binutils > 18, thanks to the bugfix in winebuild's import.c. Just thought that I should bring this to your attention. And yes, I have tried to build it from the CVS, and I know that it works fine when using the wine/tools/wineinstall script. Thanks for your time.
I didn't try it but I did notice this: rcole@ws1 rcole $ emerge -p wine These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done! [ebuild N ] dev-util/yacc-1.9.1-r1 [ebuild UD] sys-devel/binutils-2.13.90.0.18-r1 [2.13.90.0.20-r1] [ebuild N ] app-emulation/wine-20030408 rcole@ws1 rcole $ That's why I didn't try. Downgrading binutils in the past has had ugly effects for me.
emerge -U read emerge --help
Well i cant help you then. Falling back to binutils-2.13.90.0.18 is the only way to get wine-20030408 to work. I might take a cvs snapshot this weekend and see if that works with the new binutils (as said in comment #0). -phoen][x-
Maybe you could make a wine-cvs ebuild like the winex-cvs one. That way, we can just keep up with wine-CURRENT, you know, for occasions like this, when the fix for a build problem came out right after the most recent snapshot. ;) I think it would probably go over pretty well, especially for people who like really bleeding edge stuff.
No sorry, i'll not create a wine-cvs ebuild. I'll better stick to make snapshots and upload them to the gentoo mirrors. The load of -cvs ebuild on the cvs server is quite immense. I don't know what you know about the gaim-cvs issue, but it's enough when i say that we definitely should think about the amount of users who use the cvs-ebuilds. Gentoo was kinda smallish once, but we have load of users now. My opinion is: Use cvs ebuilds where you have to. Do not use them if there is another way. WineHQ releases a snapshot every month. That's okay with me. If there is a real evil bug (like this one), i'm able to snapshot the cvs tree and create an ebuild for it (takes about 5 minutes). A cvs-ebuild is not needed imnsho. If you want to discuss this, catch me in irc or flood me with mails. :) I put the new version into the portage tree - it goes by the name wine-20030411 (surprise). Check but #17986 for further informations. A big thanks to you, Nick. The cvs snapshot was a very good idea indeed. -phoen][x-
