Wine-tkg is a build-system aiming at easier custom wine builds creation.
(for dependencies, see the wiki page )
Independently of the distro used, you'll want MinGW compiler to build recent wine as it fails to build more often than not without it these days.
- Clone the repo (allows you to use
git pullto get updates) :
git clone https://github.com/whrvt/wine-tkg-oglf-osu.git
If you want to customize the patches and features of your builds, you can find basic settings in config/basic.cfg and advanced settings in config/advanced.cfg.
You can also create an external configuration file that will contain all settings in a centralized way and survive repo updates. A sample file for this can be found here. The default path for this file is ~/.config/frogminer/wine-tkg.cfg and can be changed in config/advanced.cfg with the _EXT_CONFIG_PATH option.
- From the base directory (where the PKGBUILD is located), run the following command in a terminal to start the building process :
makepkg -si
This will install to /opt/wine-osu, as it is not recommended to use this as your main wine installation. Therefore, you must run all wine binaries directly from /opt/wine-osu/bin/
For other distros (make sure to check the wiki page) :
UNTESTED FOR THIS SPECIFIC FORK
- From the base directory (where the PKGBUILD is located), run the following command in a terminal to start the building process :
./non-makepkg-build.sh
Your build will be found in the PKGBUILD/wine-tkg-git/non-makepkg-builds dir (independently of the chosen configuration)
Possibly dependant on the compilation flags (found in config/compilation-options.cfg), the resulting wine binary may only work with a reduced subset of features in certain applications. It's recommended to only use this build for osu!.
For example: when running osu!stable under a WINEPREFIX which is missing gdiplus or gdiplus_winxp, wine's built-in version of gdiplus may crash when rendering certain areas of text, like the friends list or skins list. Furthermore, at least on some systems, dotnet48 may not be usable, while dotnet40 or dotnet45 works fine.
On my system, this is an example of a fully working WINEPREFIX (to be used for playing osu! stable) created with winetricks:
WINEARCH=win64 WINEPREFIX=<PREFIX_DIRECTORY> WINE=/opt/wine-osu/bin/wine winetricks -q nocrashdialog dotnet48 cjkfonts meiryo gdiplus_winxp sound=pulse fontsmooth=rgb win2k3
WINEARCH=win32 is untested.
Some useful environment variables for the resulting wine binary can be found in wine.install.
Also, some error and warning messages can be silenced by overriding winemenubuilder.exe in winecfg to disabled.
A special thank you to Torge Matthies (openglfreak) for his hard work in compiling this large set of Wine patches. These are located in the patches directory.
The repo containing his patches, config, and renaming scripts can be found at https://github.com/openglfreak/wine-tkg-userpatches. They are are taken from the tmp8 branch, for wine-staging 8.18.
