Solved The Real Solution ... Wine --> Not Working on FreeBSD 13.1-RELEASE amd64

[Dave-D]

What am I doing wrong here...?


Fresh install of FreeBSD 13.1-RELEASE amd64

as root-
pkg install wine-devel

as root-
nano /etc/fstab
(insert as bottom line)
proc /proc procfs rw 0 0

as reg. user-
cd /usr/local/share/wine
sh pkg32.sh install wine-devel mesa-dri
(installs 69 pkgs)

as reg. user-
winecfg

throws errors...

0024:fixme:ntdll:create_logical_proc_info stub
0024:fixme:ntdll:init_cpu_info Failed to get logical processor information, status 0xc0000002.

I've been working on this all night.
Got it to install and run, with errors.
Got it to install my old Paradox desktop database program,
which as of a year ago ran great.
It now runs but with many errors.
No longer usable.

I have easily wasted 300+ hours screwing around with Wine over the past 3 years.
Only to see things that work, now no longer work.

I'm done.

Here is my final solution:

1. Run old MS apps from a windows app server, serve across the network
to a FreeBSD desktop using some kind of remote desktop. Hope to
investigate and implement next week.

If that doesn't work, then run it from a standalone window$ box over in a very dark corner.

2. Work hard on getting Micro$oft out of my life forever, and don't ever look back.

Isn't that why we're here in the first place?

That’s been my solution - dual boot, emulation, virtualisation etc. are always flaky in some way at some point.

But even the dedicated Windows laptop/small box will die or fail activation or whatever so the “fun” will always be there at some point.

I despise Window$. Oh, let me count the ways.

The real solution is: ==>> elimination <<==
