For those not aware (as I was not aware...),
Wine 4.8 (May 10, 2019) introduced support to compile some (not all!) Wine
DLL and
EXE files as Windows PE files instead of ELF files. This has a few pros
and cons.
Pros:
- Matches what Wine is supporting anyway. Loading of PE files.
- Uses Mingw-w64 in a larger project. Could boost both projects.
Cons:
- Debug data is stripped out and dropped on the floor.
- Fedora doesn't have any packages with multiple binary formats that I
know of. Is
this a problem?
Luckily this support is optional at this time, but I've already seen a
Bugzilla
troll point users of distros that are not using this feature back to the
distro for
support.
What do we want to do here?
Thanks,
Michael
It might be wise to add the wine list to this thread to get their insight.
