hello, i have many problems with wine on my new installed system 64bit because win32 programs don't run and i can't install 64bit windows-programs because they use a 32bit installer. i get only firefox 64bit partable running. i can't find any info to get this running. not in wiki.gentoo.org or forum.gentoo.org or an other website by my search with google. i try to get help over your irc-channel, but without success. i try to compile a 64bit wine for win32, but this make problems (config or compiler error), so i try other options. by this try, i must use abi_x86_64 abi_x86_32 for some libs to get some wine-functions activated. so i try to get a 32bit with emerge, which make some problems. first i insert this in package.use: app-emulation/wine abi_x86_64 abi_x86_32 while to much packages need the same flags to compile wine with 32bit, i set this flags global in make.conf and reinstall many packages including wine. only apache don't like both flags, so i set www-servers/apache-2.4.25 -abi_x86_32 in package.use to solve a emerge-problem with apache. after that, i have a wine-installation which can be used to run 32(16?) and 64 bit windows-programs. please change the profile for wine to need the flags abi_x86_64 abi_x86_32 on a 64bit-system. all other makes much trouble and without help, this drive everyone crazy which need this functions! goodby
Obviously, for wine being usable with the majority of Windows applications, you need to build it with abi_x86_32, that's no secret. In app-emulation/wine ebuilds, you find: IUSE="+abi_x86_32 +abi_x86_64" So your wish is already fulfilled. The way you solve its dependencies is entirely your choice, a lot of per-package USE settings is obviously the hard way but more or less easily done using --autounmask-write portage feature. No one should be forced to globally build with +abi_x86_32 though just because of wine - on what profile, anway? -, so this is just not going to happen.
hello, this is fine for you, but can you tell me how many people will look at the wine ebuild-file if it is not possible to execute win32 programs ? and how many people knows, that on a 64bit gentoo linux wine must be emerged with the flags abi_x86_64 abi_x86_32? if you want change the ebuild then please put a info message after wine is installed. i create a account in the wiki and will insert this information. goodby
Again, these are the default flags. If you build wine without abi_x86_32, then you have taken your own conscious steps to disable it.
