How to install/use it?

DISCLAIMER: It's up to you to be sure that you have all dependancies to be able to run Wine on your local Linux System

# 1. Initiate the WINEPREFIX by putting some value
export WINEPREFIX=/put/some/path/where/you/want/to/install/it # <---------- MODIFY THIS VALUE !!!!!

# Some Wine variables. Change it accordingly 
export WINE_BUILD_DIR="wine-6.0-rc6-tkg-staging-Red-Rose-sandybridge"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/${WINE_BUILD_DIR}/lib/:/opt/${WINE_BUILD_DIR}/lib64/:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
export WINEDLLPATH=/opt/${WINE_BUILD_DIR}/lib/wine:/opt/${WINE_BUILD_DIR}/lib64/wine
export WINEDEBUG=-all # Should avoid verbose messages from Wine

# 2. Download and decompress the tarballs
cd ${HOME}

# 2.a Download
wget http://techer.pascal.free.fr/download/wine/builds/wine-6.0-rc6-tkg-staging-Red-Rose-sandybridge.tar.xz
wget http://techer.pascal.free.fr/download/wine/packages/Red-Rose_Packages_SandyBridge_2021-01-13.tar.xz

# 2.b Decompress
sudo tar xvJf wine-6.0-rc6-tkg-staging-Red-Rose-sandybridge.tar.xz -C /opt/

tar xvJf Red-Rose_Packages_SandyBridge_2021-01-13.tar.xz -C ${HOME}

# Update your PATH environment
export PATH=/opt/${WINE_BUILD_DIR}/bin:${PATH}

# 3. Initiate your WINEPREFIX -- THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT ELSE packages will not be able to install if WINEPREFIX is not set--
winecfg

# 4. Install all packages
cd ${HOME}/Red-Rose_Packages_SandyBridge_2021-01-13
# Install DXVlK and vkd3d-d3d12
./dxvk-d3d12_install.sh
# Install Faudio and jxrlib
./faudio_and_jxrlib_install.sh
# Media Foundation 
./mf-install

That's it!!!


DISCLAIMER: Content shown below is almost optional but this is what I am usually used when I am testing a new game. My needs for gaming are pretty different than yours BUT I am sharing it just in case!!!

2. Expected Targets

• Linux OS = Ubuntu 18.04/20.04, Xubuntu 20.04 or any recent Linux distribution
• CPU = Intel greater than Core 2
• GPU = AMD

3.. Tips to know - no support for ntdll-NtAlertThreadByThreadId for better experience with gaming

• Provided by removing ntdll-NtAlertThreadByThreadId from staging. That should offer a better experience while playing games and avoiding some freezes.
• Some flags for compilers
