I also found that wine only exists in 32 bit world, so wine in linux (suse, redhat, etc) is all 32 bit versions even if it is an 64 bit OS. Like K Anderson said, it works great under linux. The port works for i386 only. Freebsd amd64 is another story entirely. I emailed Gerald Pfeifer (gerald@pfeifer.com, port maintainer) and he said that he hasn't tried porting it to amd64. For i386 it works fine. There are some discussions on some of the 64bit linux forums for compiling it in 32bit mode, using wrappers for gcc and ldd to trick the compiler into running in 32 bit mode. I tried removing the "onlyfor i386" and running "make depend". It got to a point where it said "wine_switch_to_stack" hasn't been defined for you. I tried googling it, didn't get very far, though, as I have limited programing background. I wasn't using the right CC flags, but I don't know what the right flags are, and I think I had the linux compatibility enabled in the kernel, too. It seems quite a few people run freebsd i386 on their 64 bit capable systems for this very reason. I also would be interested in helping, too. Let me know. Kristopher Wieland
