Thanks to Aaron Peters for researching and writing this chapter from
scratch. He also provided most of the images, together with Alexander
Leidinger (netchild@). Alexander was also kind enough to be the official
mentor for the WINE side of the content, while I focused on the
documentation side. His insights into WINE from a users perspective
helped make this chapter better by adding information about Homura.
A big thank you to Google Season of Docs 2020 for enabling us to have
Aaron as technical writer working on this project.
I've re-ordered the finalized submission so that the FAQ is the last
part of this chapter. I also moved the "WINE Overview & concepts"
section after the Synopsis for a more logical flow of information.
Additionally, a lot of DocBook editing was done to bring it to the
current form. The remaining checks by textproc/igor revolve around
indentation errors. But one can't fix all of them without violating
others.
Please enjoy running WINE and games on FreeBSD with the help of this
chapter.
Todo:
- Some references to other parts of the chapter or to others in the
handbook need to be replaced by actual links.
- Some of the images could be resized a bit more. I only did it on
those that would create a horizontal scroll bar. Reizing them to 50%
made them small enough to fit the other images while retaining
legible text.
A note on the images: I realize they are mixed JPEG and PNGs in the
same chapter. However, many of the images in the handbook do not
have a uniform image type either (compare IMAGES_EN+= entries in
Makefile). This may be a future project to unify these without
compromising image quality.
