Every time the Wine group issues a new Mono or Gecko update I know I'm in for hours,
days, or weeks of trouble. Any one of the following items is guaranteed to happen.
- Code that won't compile due to our newer tool set
- Code that won't compile due to our older tool set
- Major Makefile tooling changes on even minor updates (they have nothing else to
do, apparently)
New this week: A LLVM-based MinGW tool chain is shipped in the Wine Mono tarball and
is required to build with their new CFLAGS. I didn't even know this chain existed.
It looks maintained by one guy and I don't know why people spend their time
reinventing the wheel like this.
I'm about to give up packaging Wine.
Thanks for the vent,
Michael
