Objet : Re: How about this replacement of WINE.
Patching kernels and building modules is no big thing but patching and
compiling wine, being tied to an older version or constantly upgrading and
redoing this might be a bit too
much.
Why being tied to an older version ?
Stable versus unstable kernel releases, maybe?
The fact is that the project is not that old,
thus earlier versions of wine/kernel havent been tested at the moment.
Which project? Wine is very old, going back to the early 1990s, when
Linux was released to the public. You also have to be aware that Wine
is the source for several forks, one is for the Mac which I use.
Btw, many apps need a specific dependancy for older libraries.
That is very true. We in the industry call this 'dll hell' as some
programs will only run with certain versions of some .dll files.
