[Wine] World Of Warcraft on FreeBSD 6.2

Thu Apr 5 15:39:02 CDT 2007

First of all, it's a bit late for this, but I would /not/ use a
snapshot release of FreeBSD, those are more likely to have bugs. At
least, not until after you get a normal setup working.

Next, I'd use csup to get your ports, instead of cvsup. If you need
more help, you can use the freebsd-questions mailing list.

Ahh, it seems to be missing one thing I did, here's what I did (C&P
from WineHQ). The Asterisked parts shouldn't make much of a
difference. The things that you may not recognize, I got from the
Gentoo forums on WoW/Wine. Do a search on the WineHQ Wow board for
'stapleton' to see my trials/tribulations and maybe get some insight
on things that you might need to do. The "!" entries I think are
probably critical.
FreeBSD 6.2 Release
*Wine 0.9.32 (completely fresh winedir)
Windows 2000 mode set.
!wineprefixcreate run, then the following were installed:
*Firefox 1.5.0.10 (Windows)
Mozilla 1.7.13
!msvcp60.dll mfc42.dll
Mozilla ActiveX
!regsvr32 /data/wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Common\
Files/mozilla.org/GRE/1.7.13_2006041421/mozctlx.dll
!riched20.dll riched32.d

!Edit the registry (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\ -> New Key ->
rename into DisabledExtensions -> value: GL_ARB_vertex_buffer_object)
