This is the 376th issue of the World Wine News publication. Its main goal is to inform you of what's going on around Wine. Wine is an open source implementation of the Windows API on top of X and Unix. Think of it as a Windows compatibility layer. Wine does not require Microsoft Windows, as it is a completely alternative implementation consisting of 100% Microsoft-free code, but it can optionally use native system DLLs if they are available. You can find more info at www.winehq.org

Status of MinGW-w64 targeting ARMv7 Archive

As you might have seen in WWN 369 , Kai Tietz and I are working on MinGW-w64 targeting ARMv7.

Meanwhile I finished porting the CRT, but after a hackathon last week, we found out that we ran into a chicken-egg situation.

That means some parts of the CRT have to be done again in a different way.

After that the work on libgcc can begin and then we need to get a lot of things upstream into gcc, binutils and such.


Wine Gecko 2.34-beta1 release Archive

Jacek Caban, who maintains the wine-gecko code, wrote to wine-devel about an upcoming wine-gecko version and why it took so long after the last release. Happy testing!


Wine and the Linux Kernel Archive

From time to time applications running in Wine are doing strange things which triggers code paths in the Linux Kernel no one would think about.
