WineLib on Solaris (x86 and sparc)

I built WineLib on Solaris (both x86 and sparc platforms) last week. Most of the build issues on x86 were resolved by patchkit available at blastwave.org .

There were certain issues specific to sparc platform related to opengl and assembler which were resolved later after searching Wine Headquarters and a9/google. I was able to run simple apps like notepad and wordpad.

I'll jot down the build steps needed for both x86 and sparc.

Comments:

You got notepad and wordpad to run on Sparc? Does that require a binary translator such as QEMU?

Yes! We ran on sparc as well. But it didn't need the translator you mention. After the build, we just did 'wine notepad'.
