I am using FreeBSD 10.3 x64. I understand that to run Windows
applications on that configuration I can use only one of the following:
1. playonbsd-4.2.10_1
2. wine-staging-2.0.r3_1,1
3. i386-wine-staging-2.0.r3_1,1
4. wine-devel-2.0.r3_1,1
5. i386-wine-devel-2.0.r3_1,1
6. wine-1.8.6,1
7. i386-wine-1.8.6,1
Currently I have installed playonbsd, which is good but it seems that
not all applications I would like to install can be installed on it.
Which one of those options would give me the most compatibility with
office-type and multimedia applications (e.g. DVD player, SoftPhone,
applications that access USB), not necessarily games?
Should I prefer some of these ports over others for my x64 system?
When switching from one port to another (e.g. wine to playonbsd) can
I keep the currently installed Windows applications or I would need
to reinstall any of the applications/libraries installed on the
previous version?
It seems that front-end ports (q4wine, swine) default to 4. from the
list (wine-devel-2.0.r3_1,1). Is there any reason for that? Can they
run without problems on a x64 system?
Many thanks for any insights.
Probably you need i386-wine-devel and emulators/winetricks
playonbsd is a wrapper for wine. No need to use it at all, just get
installer for you program, create new wineprefix and install software
into it
Personally, I make 1 wineprefix for 1 program (or program group ) with
env WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.local/share/wineprefixes/ck2 wineboot
sandbox it with winetricks if needed
copy installer into $HOME/.local/share/wineprefixes/ck2/drive_c/Distr
env WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.local/share/wineprefixes/ck2 wine cmd
navigate to Distr and run installer
ck2 is example prefix for crusader kings II. I love Paradox games :P
Thank you for the tips. Any reason why I shouldn't be using the x64
versions? And also, wasn't playonbsd designed to give a greater
compatibility with Windows applications? What benefit is it to use
playonbsd over normal wine with winetricks then? I mean, why is it in ports?
