How to get wine64 running (9.3, amd64)?

r0ller

Hi All,

I want to give a try to the wine (64 bit) package in pkgin on my 9.3 amd64 box. I know that the option USER_LDT needs to be enabled and the SVS disabled in the kernel config file but when building the kernel it gets stuck. I asked for help on the netbsd-users mailing list but it's pretty quiet nowadays so got no help so far.

I can kind of imagine two solutions:

1) manage to get the custom kernel built (no clue how as it can't find an include header (ssp/unistd.h) in its own source directories (/usr/src) -the source is 9.3 release version.

2) enable USER_LDT and disable SVS via sysctl. I know that disabling SVS can be done that way but can USER_LDT be enabled as well on the fly?

Thanks for any hints!

Best regards,

r0ller but when building the kernel it gets stuck.

Just follow the instructions in Ch. 32 & 33 of the Guide. Binaries are regularly built from STABLE everytime a change is pulled up from -HEAD. There should be no problems compiling the system if you've done everything right.

rvp Yepp, nuked /usr/src, fetched the same source, configured, built and everything's fine. No clue what the problem was. I also have the answer to the wine question: the wine pkg in pkgin is only wine64 so only pure 64 bit win stuff can be run using that. WoW64 support is still backed only by the 4.4 version in pkgsrc/wip/wine64.
