Crashes when running applications that use DirectX.

From boxedwine site: Boxedwine is an emulator that runs Windows applications. It achieves this by running an unmodified 32-bit version of Wine, and emulating the Linux kernel and CPU. It is written in C++ with SDL and is supported on multiple platforms.

Is there a recipe for this in HaikuDepot or in a HaikuPorts PR?

3dEyes · April 28, 2021, 3:10am

Not yet. Later

Aw, some people definitely are weird. That sounds way overkill, but if it works…

Quite neat to see, I hope the direct3d crash issue can be resolved. : )

That sounds quite useful for building an OCI runtime…

After 4 years a new version 25R1.0 is released on Github.
I tried to do an update on Haikuports recipe but the existing patchset does not apply cleanly anymore.
Maybe a more experienced user than me can try out.
