1 Environment to build Wine

Original project was written by Kron4ek and his repo https://github.com/Kron4ek/Wine-Builds It aims at setting a build environment to build Wine based on Ubuntu 18.04 chroots (both 32 and 64 bits)

I tried to reproduce this environment by adding my personal needs. Those shells scripts were re-written scripts taken from https://github.com/Kron4ek/Wine-Builds as-they-were in January 2025.

build-mingw-w64-toolchain-experimental.sh My personel shell script to provide to Kron4ek static MinGW-w64 cross compilers for C/C++ (gcc-11.5.0) -- using Canadian Cross Compilation
build_wine.sh: re-written script to be aligned with my own needs
create_ubuntu_bootstraps.sh: re-written script to refresh some packages

2 Information about my Wine version

As a simple reminder

Note

Those binairies are provided as-they-are.

They are based on wine taken from Glorious Eggroll for GE-Proton-9.22
Wine, and its packages are built against a customized home-made MinGW-w64 Toolchain ( Posix + Urct )

3 Install my Wine distribution

Note

All commands shown here have to be entered in the same Linux terminal session.

3.1 Download

Open a Linux terminal and enter commands below to download the target tarball

WINE_BUILD=wine-Red-Rose-custom-9.12.04-amd64
wget http://techer.pascal.free.fr/Red-Rose-Gaming/${WINE_BUILD}.tar.xz

You can bypass commands above if you already downloaded them but be sure that environment variable WINE_BUILD was set as expected. At least check that you performed

WINE_BUILD=wine-Red-Rose-custom-9.12.04-amd64

3.2 Decompress and add somme privileges

My Wine distrib should be decompressed into /opt/ folder

WINE_BUILD=wine-Red-Rose-custom-9.12.04-amd64
sudo tar xvJf ${WINE_BUILD}.tar.xz -C /opt/

There are some privileges to add

WINE_BUILD=wine-Red-Rose-custom-9.12.04-amd64
sudo setcap cap_sys_nice+ep /opt/${WINE_BUILD}/distrib/bin/wineserver
sudo setcap cap_sys_time+ep /opt/${WINE_BUILD}/distrib/bin/wineserver

That way Wine binairies will be available.

3.3 Initiate a WINEPREFIX

Put some value to folder

export WINEPREFIX=/some/path/you/want/here

Initiate your WINEPREFIX using winecfg

WINE_BUILD=wine-Red-Rose-custom-9.12.04-amd64
/opt/${WINE_BUILD}/distrib/winecfg

Copy dll files to your fresh initiated WINEPREFIX from dxvk, vkd3d-proton and dxvk-nvapi. These dlls were built on June 12th, 2024.
```
WINE_BUILD=wine-Red-Rose-custom-9.12.04-amd64
cp -avf /opt/${WINE_BUILD}/packages/* ${WINEPREFIX}/drive_c/windows/
```

3.4 When/while playing a game

Add my path to the beginning of PATH environment variable

export WINE_BUILD="wine-Red-Rose-custom-9.12.04-amd64"

# PUT YOUR WINEPREFIX BELOW

export WINEPREFIX=/some/path/you/want/here

export PATH="/opt/${WINE_BUILD}/distrib/bin:${PATH}"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/opt/${WINE_BUILD}/distrib/lib32:/opt/${WINE_BUILD}/distrib/lib32/vulkan"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH+=":/opt/${WINE_BUILD}/distrib/lib64:/opt/${WINE_BUILD}/distrib/lib64/vulkan"
