-Here are some patches for FreeBSD's kernel that are necessary for wine
-(well not strictly _necessary_ but without them parts of it won't work.)
-They unfortunately didn't make it into the base distribution in time
-for the 3.3 release code freeze...
-
-patch-3.3-sys-ldtshare:
-make kernel threads (rfork(), which wine uses) share one LDT instead of
-each having its own. this fixes the same problem that wine also had on
-linux kernels before 2.2.
-
-patch-3.3-sys-sigtrap:
-stop wine's SIGTRAP handler from being called in the sigreturn syscall,
-causing problems for wine's internal debugger. (it would still
-correctly show a crash backtrace but all commands that use single-
-stepping failed.)
-
-patch-3.3-sys-fsgs:
-always set/use the sc_fs and sc_gs entries in the sigcontext struct,
-making -stable behave the same as -current there. this should finally
-allow signal handling of a wine that was built on -stable to correctly
-run on -current too. The corresponding wine change is in the port in
-patches/patch-af, it is also in wine's CVS tree now, so that file will
-disappear when the port is updated after the next wine release.
-(this one was MFC'd Nov 15 1999, so you only need it if you're running a
-system from the -stable branch older than that, like a 3.3-RELEASE. If you
-happen to try to apply it when its already there patch(1) should complain
-`Reversed (or previously applied) patch detected! Assume -R? [y]',
-just hit ^C then...)
-
-Apply as follows:
-
- (cd /usr/src/sys && patch ) <patch-3.3-sys-ldtshare
- (cd /usr/src/sys && patch ) <patch-3.3-sys-sigtrap
-
-And if you don't already have it:
-
- (cd /usr/src/sys && patch ) <patch-3.3-sys-fsgs
-
-then build a new kernel. (don't forget to include the options USER_LDT,
-SYSVSHM, SYSVSEM, and SYSVMSG, wine needs these.)
-
-A note about local patches and ctm, cvsup and friends...
-(if you don't know what those are good for see for example
-http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/stable.html)
-ctm cannot deal with local patches (unless you use it to mirror
-the cvs tree of course, instead of the sources directly), with
-cvsup i'm not sure but in any case the workaround is simple: use
-patch -R to un-apply any local patches before the update (feeding
-it the patches again as above on stdin), then when the update is
-finished apply them again. Should they fail on the updated sources
-(and you cannot fix it yourself), look for new versions of the
-patches at the place where you got them, or in this case you
-can also look in my current wine port tree at
-http://www.jelal.kn-bremen.de/freebsd/ports/emulators/wine/files/
-
--current users:
-A LDT patch for -current is at http://people.FreeBSD.org/~luoqi/
-(well in a recent posting on the -current list,
-http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?db=&id=199911150745.CAA27884@lor.watermarkgroup.com
-he said that version is outdated, seems you have to mail him to
-get a current one), the sigtrap patch looks like it could also
-apply to -current but i haven't tried. And the fs/gs patch of course
-already is in -current.
-Late note: the LDT sharing fix just seems to have been committed now...
-(to -current that is.)
