Dose wine people hate Solaris?

   Yes, I suspected as much. I sometimes read cemw but my ISPs news
server is real bad. Not as bad as the news feed of Corel who's hosting
wine-users. It's been over a month now that the link between wine-users
and cemw has been severed :-(

   What does not work? Do you have unicode/libwine_unicode.so or not?
   Does the following command run or does it say it cannot find
libwine_unicode.so?
   LD_LIBRARY_PATH="unicode:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" ./tools/winebuild/winebuild

   Btw, what is your default shell?

   On my system r_debug is defined in '/usr/include/link.h'. According
to dpkg this is part of libc6-dev. So the problem is that the Solaris C
library does not define it. The link.h header says:

   Data structure for communication from the run-time dynamic linker for
   loaded ELF shared objects.


   The easy way out is to say that winedbg is not essential to get
Wine working. So you could decide not to compile it at all.
   A better approach would be to either provide this r_debug structure
somehow if it is relevant on Solaris, or remove all the related stuff on
Solaris. I'm not a winedbg expert so I've reached my limit here. Maybe
Eric Pouech could advise you better.
