| kilobyte | LeePen: that'd be a matter of rebuilding the world, but that's nowhere the task it was before | 02:12 |
|---|---|---|
| kilobyte | LeePen: and a pretty good idea -- people who run i386 on amd64-capable hardware should get smacked over the head these days | 02:13 |
| golinux | If wine cooperated on 64 bit I would consider it. | 02:32 |
| kilobyte | well right... wine does make use of i386 on modern machines. So does steam (although it requires 64-bit, and uses it for most stuff). | 02:35 |
| kilobyte | that's just a bunch of libraries though | 02:35 |
| mason | I haven't tried this on Devuan yet, but it's possible to build a dual 32/64-bit Wine that passes off between the two as needed. | 02:35 |
| kilobyte | ... is there any other way? | 02:36 |
| mason | Yeah, lots of folks seem to do a straight 32-bit Wine. | 02:36 |
| kilobyte | you install 64-bit version of wine and it quietly does The Right Thing based whether an executable is 32- or 64-bit | 02:37 |
| mason | Well. It's a hybrid. A straight 32-bit Wine can't deal with 32-bit Windows binaries. | 02:37 |
| mason | You have to explicitly build a hybrid. Or if you use WineHQ they do that for you by default. | 02:38 |
| mason | I was doing this on CentOS at the time, which didn't have anyone doing it by default. | 02:38 |
| kilobyte | possibly... but we're not on CentOS but De??an which is ok | 02:39 |
| mason | Possibly what? | 02:40 |
| kilobyte | I mean you may be right for some builds of Wine, I'm only a mere user | 02:41 |
| kilobyte | somehow 64-bit windows executables are pretty rare | 02:42 |
| mason | Nah, World of Warcraft has shipped them for a while. | 02:42 |
| kilobyte | you can do this: https://angband.pl/images/wine.png :) | 02:43 |
| mason | In fact, the situation I was addressing with the hybrid build was that they shipped a 64-bit client but a 32-bit media player, so all the in-game cinematics failed to run if you didn't have a hybrid build of Wine. | 02:43 |
| golinux | In beowulf there are currently version mismatches that make this impossible. My daily ddriver is still i385 jessie. | 03:51 |
| onefang | While I'll be up at that time of the day for the meeting this time, that's because the real estate agent has picked a crazy early time for an inspection, and I'll be busy. So I can't attend. | 06:56 |
| onefang | Every one else will be up to, and likely some neighbours. 7AM is a crazy time to be testing smoke alarms. Pfffft. | 06:57 |
| golinux | It's time for the met! Come on down!! | 21:26 |
| mason | golinux: I'm in a bathrobe and not having a headliner day so if there's no objection to my being off video I'll hop in. | 21:27 |
| golinux | We wouldn't mind on video | 21:27 |
