Is it feasible to port Wine to Visopsys? visopsys.org
2009/1/25 Max Barney <wineforum-user at winehq.org>:> Is it feasible to port Wine to Visopsys? visopsys.orgDepends how good an imitation of POSIX it does. Wine is fundamentally a Unix program. (More specifically, a Linux program with somewhat functional FreeBSD, Solaris and Mac OS X ports.) I've been banging my head against this with quite good POSIX imitations of late: wiki.winehq.org/WineOnWindows - you can try it with less-good imitations, though I don't like your chances. But I'm having tremendous fun with the Cygwin port, even though it's ultimately futile as long as it can't actually launch applications ;-) It'll certainly help make Wine itself more robustly cross-platform, which is always good. - d.

Does have multi-threading and elf executable support though. Would be a lot of work, but the source is there for wine and visopsys. You'd likely need someone very familiar with visopsys. Patches welcome. -- -Austin
Would it even be worth porting? I mean I am sure very few really use it. Do they?
No I actually don't use it, but it is just me and my morbid curiosity.
