Hi out there,

I was wondering if anyone has gotten the lastest version of "wine" to compile
and *work* under FreeBSD 2.1.0-R (the 960805 release I believe)??

I obtained the source, compile it, setup the config files as it describes
and when I tried to say "wine /c/windows/sol.exe" it hung X, then about
5 seconds later, it rebooted my machine!!! I was not running as root.

This pattern is repeatable with a different windows program (however, I
only repeated it once more ... fsck'ing sucks).

Has anyone had this same experience with the latest build of wine? If so,
how far back do I need to go in order to get a version that works and does
spontaneously reboot my machine?

I've contacted the people in charge of "wine" development, but they knew
nothing of current FreeBSD compatibility/operability.

Thanks,

-Jr
