Bug 2093596

Yes, it is important for RHEL 9 to get this built.

I just got frustrated when I saw that wine is not in the repos. Is there a reason that it is not included in EPEL 9? It's understandable when things get pushed to the background or have only a small priority, but not finding any information at all is just frustrating.

Lots of missing deps:

Hi, is there any update in this? It has been a very long time since RHEL 9 came out and still no Wine. Is somebody chasing people up on the missing dependencies? Thanks!

Did you check the blockers?  I am doing some chasing, but probably could use some help.  I've updated some pings.  We are also waiting for the release of RHEL 9.1 for some deps.

Also, just to set expectations, it generally takes a few point releases of RHEL before EPEL is close to parity with the previous release.

Hi Orion, just a quick follow up on getting those dependencies built.

1. I see you took command on https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2092177 , awesome! Are you OK to build it and follow up on https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2118058 now?

2. I noted that Richard W.M. Jones was asking for your help to make progress on https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2118060

Happy new year :)

Thanks for the ping.  I've built mingw-libtiff.  I have a PR to update lcms2 then will build for EPEL9.  I've requested the EPEL9 branch for mingw-libxml2.

Orion, the following are remaining:

mingw-FAudio (I have this one)
mingw-SDL2 (required by FAudio)
mingw-libgcrypt (required by mingw-libxslt)
mingw-libgpg-error (required by mingw-libgcrypt)
mingw-dlfcn (required by mingw-libgcrypt)
mingw-gettext (required by mingw-libgpg-error)
mingw-win-iconv (required by mingw-libgpg-error)
mingw-termcap (required by mingw-gettext)

That should be the full dependency tree.

SDL2-devel is not available to the koji builders. Required to build FAudio. @orion what should we do about that?

I could drop the requirement and stop building the Linux FAudio binaries for EPEL if Red Hat won't ship SDL2-devel to the koji builders, but I'd rather not.

Looks like a buildroot override was submitted: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/overrides/mingw-SDL2-2.26.2-1.el9 so should be available now.  I had not gotten around to submitting an update, which I've done now.  Finally, looks like the package only provides mingw*-SDL2-static.  Is that typical for mingw packages?

Yes, I made that build override.

However, the issue is specifically with 'SDL2-devel', the native package, and not the mingw-SDL2 package. The FAudio package originally built Linux ELF binaries and only recently started building both ELF and PE binaries. Fedora is switching to merge mingw-* packages into their native counterparts. FAudio is one of those.

I'm not sure what you mean about it only providing a -static package. It provides both non-static and static packages.

Ah, I see. EL9 currently has SDL2-devel 2.0.20, Stream 9 has 2.26.0.  So you can build now for epel9-next.  epel9 will need to wait for the next EL9 release.

Ah... Do you know when that would be? If it's months out I may temporarily drop the ELF packages from EPEL9.

Should be in May: https://access.redhat.com/articles/3078

FEDORA-EPEL-2023-65253d97b8 has been submitted as an update to Fedora EPEL 9. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2023-65253d97b8

Caveats:
1. FAudio is PE only due to SDL2 version
2. Hacked configure in mingw-libxslt for automake version
3. Wine for 64-bit ARM fails at the moment. I have not debugged why.

aarch64:

winebuild: cannot find the 'dlltool' tool

Hmm, probably something missing in the RHEL9 packages?

Yes, possibly. I haven't studied the output and would probably need access to a config.log or other detail to see why.
