No, Wine cannot be built statically.

[Wine] Can I use a static build to install on an obsolete target?

For complex reasons, I need to run Wine on RedHat 7.2 (which dates from
about 2001, kernel 2.4.7). The wine that shipped on 7.2 is pretty much
unusable (for me); I have issues with keyboard input and fonts, the
Windows app doesn’t run, it uses the old-style config file, and so on.

I figured that installing a more recent binary RPM would lead to all
sorts of dependency problems, and I need to keep the base system as
close as possible to the original 7.2 spec (it’s for testing).

So, my next plan was to compile the sources, but the current sources no
longer compile on a system this old (for example, OpenGL was at v1.1,
which configure considers to be ‘current’, but the source appears to
require something more recent).

Plan C is to compile a static (native) version of the current wine
sources on an i386 Fedora box, and just to copy the binaries over to the
target 7.2 box. configure with a –prefix should, in principle, make it
easy to do this.

Before I do this (or waste a couple of days trying!), can anyone tell me
if they can think of any potential problems? Presumably wine can be
built completely statically? I’m not sure how, but I guess setting some
env variables or configure options should be enough to do this.

Thanks -

Paul

Sorry to be re-opening an old conversation, but it doesn’t work any more :-( –
after upgrading enlightenment to (gentoo ebuild) 0.16.8.10, it stopped
picking up any changes in ~/.e16/fonts.cfg and apparently reverted to some
default… I’d downgrade (shouldn’t have emerged world in the first place),
but gentoo no longer has enlightenment 0.16.8.5, so I suppose I’ll have to
live with the new version – did the font configuration changed between
0.16.8.5 and 0.16.8.10?

Bye
