wine users - Oct 2004 - NPTL & Wine

Hi,
   My main systems are Gentoo based. I am investigating switching to
NPTL on one of them that uses a couple of different versions of Wine
built from source. In doing the research I found that the Gentoo
ebuilds for Wine use NPTL. Does this mean that if I switch to NPTL
that I must recompile my source-caode based versions of Wine? If so,
can someone tell my what options I would use, most likely during the
./configure stage?

Thanks,
Mark

I don't think so :)
If you look at the ebuild for wine, the nptl USE flag is going to /dev/null,
because it's never used.
If you look at the entry of 2003-11-12 in Wine's ChangeLog, you'll see
this:

        * configure, configure.ac, loader/.cvsignore, loader/Makefile.in,
          loader/glibc.c, tools/wineinstall:
        Added a wine-glibc binary that detects the glibc threading in use
and
        execs the corresponding wine binary.
        Removed the --with-nptl configure option.

probably Gentoo's wine maintainer wasn't following too well the
ChangeLog.
Also, the current Wine version in gentoo is of july, also if we have a
september release (for which I wrote an unofficial ebuild on my site, if
you want to take a look at it, it has no more the nptl USE flag).

HTH,

Just run ./configure && make depend && make
Note that wine will work with NPTL even if you don't recompile it.
