Wine 1.4 stable release in extras-testing for N900

I've been keeping wine updated in extras-devel for some time now, just for fun. Anyway, stable version of wine, 1.4, was released a couple of weeks ago and I've now promoted it to testing just in case anyone is interested to play with it. All the apps that come with wine works (winemine, notepad, etc) so have fun with that :)

Note: Runs ARM binaries only,  remember that!

Wine extras building progress

Got the wine package building on extras as you might have noticed. Next is to tidy up the package a bit and make it semi usable.Adding a winemine desktop entry that is :)
Not much else that you can do currently with wine on arm, unless someone likes to port some windows apps.

Wine 1.3.8 debs

I've tried uploading Wine to extras now a couple of times, but the build crashes with some cryptic debhelper error that does not happen on my own scratchbox so it's a bit hard to debug. And it takes ages to build wine so debugging this is not funny at all.

Anyway, download wine 1.3.8 maemo packages here.

Anyone know how to get around this?

dpkg-shlibdeps: error: couldn't find library libwine.so.1 needed by debian/wine/opt/wine/lib/wine/notepad.exe.so (ELF format: 'elf32-littlearm'; RPATH: '').
Note: libraries are not searched in other binary packages that do not have any shlibs or symbols file.
To help dpkg-shlibdeps find private libraries, you might need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

Wine 1.3.4 on arm (N900)

After reading the announcement of wine 1.3.4 and particularly this on winehq: "Winelib now supports the ARM platform" I just had to try it.

Builds fine in sbox, no problems there. Initial run takes a while of clicking on cancel as winedbg crashes but after that the built in programs runs, but the window manager is not doing such a great job with the wine windows and dialogs.

Screenshots of winemine below:

Update 15.10.2010:
Using desktop mode makes using wine much nicer and keyboard input works too. Running winecfg is a bit problematic as it won't fit the screen properly but editing ~/.wine/user.reg and adding the following lines in the end enables desktop mode:

[Software\\Wine\\Explorer] 1287126526
"Desktop"="Default"

[Software\\Wine\\Explorer\\Desktops] 1287126530
"Default"="800x480"
