Hi everyone,

I just thought I'd take this opportunity to let everyone know that 
WineX (head) is now building straight out of the box on FreeBSD.
All that is required is for you to use gmake instead of BSD make,
otherwise it builds just like it would in Linux. (ie. ./configure 
--enable-opengl ; gmake depend; gmake -j 2) The work to get this 
building incorporates work by myself as well as Peter Hunnisett,
Rod Taylor, and Seth Kingsley.

The code as it is now needs work in order to play games.
I was able to get some simple windows apps to work as well as
start the installation for Star Craft (it crashed before it could complete
:( ) 

We hope that the FreeBSD community will continue to help us debug and improve 
the support through patches and bug reports to the development mailing list. 
Please remember that any patches that are submitted have to be X11-licensed
in order for us to use them.  Also, we will be debugging FreeBSD issues 
ourselves as time permits.


-James
