Wine 7.15

[Rava]

Older versions (Slackware Packages) can be found here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/wine/f ... 0Packages/

But do they all work in Port 5.0?
Very old one likely will not, only slightly older ones might.

I tried finding the mentioned 6.22 … but no luck.

Well, the wine-7.0-x86_64.xzm is okay with its 93.82 MB.

I might try versions 6.22 onwards from that sourceforge site to see where the .wine folder size spike really happened.

But do they all work in Port 5.0?
Very old one likely will not, only slightly older ones might.

YeahI had an issue where old Multilib versions would not work on 5.0 (something about glibc version I think, Porteus wouldn't even start after trying to read the module on startup), so I imagine older Wine versions would have issues as well (Maybe downloading downward versions too to see which version stops being compatible with 5.0).

One thing I find odd is that wine-7.0 did not ask me for Wine Mono, unlike the 7.15 provided by fulalas which did, both on fresh Porteus (no wine configuration made prior to running winecfg).

the reason is because first run settings are integrated into wine module in /home/guest
If anyone is interested wine-7.0 with Mono (142.4 MB):

the mentioned 6.22

I have wine-6.22-x86_64-1sg.xzm of the same size 93MB as the wine-7.0-x86_64.xzm, so no further reduction in size. The next question is how big your $HOME/.wine has become with wine-7.0? With wine-6.22 the .wine folder was just 73MB whereas wine-7.15 increased it to 1.2GB.

OK, I went ahead and checked: wine-7.0 still creates $HOME/.wine folder of just 73MB. Therefore the below modules currently make the best Wine (the huge sizes of 7.15 must be a bug)

Code: Select all

wine-7.0-x86_64.xzm
0050-multilib-ultralite-x86_64-20220312.xzm

Thanks AcnapyxoB, please keep sharing good wine modules

I see, that's very clever, that way Wine loads faster on every fresh start.

I very much am. That's even better for me, thank you for providing Wine with Mono as well!

Here are some of my screenshots for rych

I was obviously not clear enough on that. With "size" I also ment the minimal needed space in $HOME … and it looks like that 6.22 is known to be reasonable in its use (73 MB) while 7.15 is lunatic (1.2GB… who has by default 1.2GB free on his/her RAM disc - or does the setup ask where to put the data, aka move it out of the RAM disc and onto a physical drive)

Can you please share your 6.22 x86-64 - when that runs in Port 5.0.

Where does one get this module? Or is it the Mono module?

Thank you both. Indeed a good idea, but in my case I had to extract the wine-7.0-x86_64.xzm, move inside home/guest --> root folder and change its ownership to root:root, because I don't use guest. Combining wine and $HOME/.wine stuff is brilliant. Of course, every running winecfg or any wine program (or every reboot?!), the $HOME/.wine will get amended slightly as an overlay which will be recorded in your changes, but the base 73MB bulk of it is inside wine-7.0-x86_64.xzm!

Can you please share your 6.22 x86-64

The wine-7.0-x86_64.xzm is actually smaller than 6.22! And newer, and smarter Just use that maybe?

But what with the size of $HOME/.wine ?

When 7.0 $HOME/.wine is 1.2 GB (unacceptable, at least for me),
and 6.22 is according to you a mere 73MB (pleasant small)
- how big is $HOME/.wine in 7.0?

$HOME/.wine sizes:
wine 7.15 - 1.2GB
wine 7 - 3MB (changes overlay on top of 73MB that's part of the module itself)
wine 6.22 - 73MB

$HOME/.wine sizes:
wine 7.15 - 1.2GB
wine 7 - 3MB (changes overlay on top of 73MB that's part of the module itself)
wine 6.22 - 73MB

So, wine 7.0 is the smallest by far.

Obviously, me no longer interested in Wine 6.22

I have no idea why Wine for Slackware has increased its size by this much since version 7.5

https://www.mediafire.com/file/7zn933tj ... 6_64-1.xzm
(285.5 MB) - cf1228e3a0523d77ea782523a8b1e4a2

You will also need this to run 32 bit applications: Multilib Ultra Lite for Porteus 5 final release

Thank you very much for this. Seriously, thank you. This is a non-compromise requirement for using GNU/Linux and for making it more likely for me to abandon Windows. Although I have made an exception only for Porteus. However I wasn't able to install Slackware and otherwise, the difficulty with using Wine, despite "Alienbob's" excellent instructions about "multilib" has kept me away.

Great work Porteus team. I wish I could donate to this project. Very ingeniously done modular OS that starts up quickly. I'm using MATE desktop environment. I was able to build QB64PE without dependencies by installing the "05-devel.xzm". Now I have a bunch of games I created with that programming system bundled into a single "optional" XZM.
