Wine is an Open Source implementation of the Windows API on top of X
-and Unix.
+for Linux and Unix.
NOTE: This builds the stable version of wine. If you need
cutting-edge then you may want to check out wine-staging.
-If your video card does not support hardware-accelerated OpenGL, then
-run the script like this: OPENGL=NO ./wine.SlackBuild
+Options:
-NOTE: This will not build on a stock 64bit Slackware system, and we
-do not support doing so with 32bit-compatibility packages. That
-doesn't mean that it won't work - we just don't support it at all.
+To build wine to run 64bit Windows executable support, use:
+
+WIN64=yes ./wine.SlackBuild
+
+To disable OpenGL support, use:
+
+OPENGL=no ./wine.SlackBuild
+
+The above options can be combined.
Optional dependencies:
-fontforge
-webcore-fonts
+fontforge:
+(to build tahoma, tahomabd, and marlett fonts)
+
+webcore-fonts:
+(for tahoma, lucida console, MS fonts for the web and Win Vista)

+
+NOTES
+
+To build on x86_64 you will need to have multilib packages installed,
+unless you want to build for Windows 64 bit applications only (using
+WIN64=yes).
+
+AlienBOB's multilib readme and repo:
+
+https://docs.slackware.com/slackware:multilib
+http://www.slackware.com/~alien/multilib/
+
+I have made a script that rsyncs with alienBOB's repo and installs
+the multilib packages which can be found here:
+
+http://dawoodfall.net/files/scripts/slackware/alien-multilib-rysnc.sh
+
+Be sure to read the short instructions at the top. If you use
+slackpkg then you will also want to blacklist his packages in
+/etc/slackpkg/blacklist:
