This package is still relevant because multilib/wine does not have wow64 mode enabled and/or has not dropped lib32 depends.

@dreieck, https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/releases/wine-9.0#wow64

TLDR: with new WoW64 mode, you can run 32-bit Windows apps on pure 64-bit Linux system, i.e. without multilib/lib32-* dependencies installed.

Wayland support requires setting a registry variable. See Wine 9.0 Changelog.

wine reg.exe add HKCU\\Software\\Wine\\Drivers /v Graphics /d x11,wayland

Added wine-staging-wow64, the wine-wow64 package with staging patches!

Hi, I noticed that some heavy dependencies, like samba and sane, are moved from optdepends to depends in 9.0rc3 [1]. Are they necessary? Maybe it's better to roughly follow dependencies of multilib/wine package, with lib32-* ones excluded.

@tiziodcaio The variables make common details between packages easier to keep in sync. It's fine if you prefer not to use them.

When --with-wayland is used, configure will stop with an error when depends are missing.

When it is not used, build will continue without wayland support. Previously, depends were missing and wayland support was not being built. So this major 9.0 feature was missing. Currently, depends are present, so wayland support would be built. However, if depends change, wayland support would again stop being built.

Yes @loathingkernel, now I will fix. When I saw @xiota adding them I was a bit confused by the sintax, I think it complicates things that might be simpler... Anyway, why it was added the --with-wayland flag? It appears to not be necessary as into https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/blob/wine-9.0/configure.ac?ref_type=tags#L1397

Please do not make PKGBUILDs configurable in terms of sources and build options. Yes, it might be useful but scripts on the AUR should ideally be easily inspect-able without requiring effort to decode the conditionals.

There is no good reason to use two different switches to alter sources and build options while making the script that much harder to quickly parse. The same consistency when updating a script could be achieved with a good diff tool.

Cool, thanks!

@xiota: Thank you very much for the update for pcsclite!

Here is a minor issue:

wine-wow64: /usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail exists in filesystem

which can be fixed with:

@daprutser The change you've requested doesn't make sense for this package.

  • This package is capable of running 32-bit binaries in wow64 mode. (Try running the 32-bit version of audacity.)
    • Emulating win98 isn't a common use case nowadays. However, the issue is fixed in commit 3fb88216.
    • For many users, the point of using this package is to drop lib32/multilib depends.
  • Building twice wastes resources.
    • At least doubles build time.
    • Storage requirements increase to 1360MB, from 490MB.
