Building wine 1.9.20

Sat Mar 28 01:06:05 CDT 2020

Hi

Some time ago, I wrote a tool that could build Wine binaries for every Git
commit, then commit them into a separate Git repository, so that for a
bisection test, you only binary search the pre-built binaries and run them
directly, no building source (ie. bisect-run-bisect-run, no building).

I've been trying to update this tool lately, and you're right, old versions
of Wine often don't build. What I've had to do is "reverse regression test"
for the build regressions (
https://wiki.winehq.org/Reverse_Regression_Testing) and then backport those
commits to older versions. So far I can get Wine to compile as far back as
5 February 2014, which was just before version 1.7.12. Sadly the build
system was completely rewritten in January 2014, making many of the commits
unable to backport further; I would like to get back to 2008. On my
previous attempt I succeeded in building all (buildable) binary versions
from Wine 1.0 in June 2008, to October 2011, about 35000 binary versions in
total, and successfully used it for rapid regression testing in that
timeframe.

The long list of commits I had to backport to build up to 5 February 2014
(some of which are for FreeBSD) is as follows, in the order they have to be
applied. Note that you only apply commits that come AFTER the commit you're
building, not the ones from before (ie. "git rev-list --max-count=1
HEAD..<commit>" produces some output instead of silently exiting). My tool
also automates that.

Maybe I should also send you my tool in a form that just applies the
relevant patches?

Good luck
