Below are my instructions to build Wine-Staging with Gallium-Nine

• Create a main folder

  mkdir Wine-Staging-1.9.23_Gallium-Nine and move this new folder
  cd Wine-Staging-1.9.23_Gallium-Nine
   

• Download all sources
  • Wine 1.9.23 Sources
  • Patches for Wine-Staging 1.9.23
  • Patches for Gallium Nine maintained by/from Sarnex's Repo

  wget https://dl.winehq.org/wine/source/1.9/wine-1.9.23.tar.bz2
  wget https://github.com/wine-compholio/wine-staging/archive/v1.9.23.tar.gz
  wget https://github.com/sarnex/wine-d3d9-patches/archive/wine-d3d9-1.9.23.tar.gz
  

  We will appy patches from ARCH repo wine-gaming-nine. You just have to clone repository for wine-gaming-nine from ARCH

  git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/wine-gaming-nine.git/

• Decompress sources for Wine 1.9.23 sources and for Gallium Nine patches

  tar xvjf wine-1.9.23.tar.bz2 
  tar xvzf wine-d3d9-1.9.23.tar.gz 
  

• Move to Wine folder. Decompress patches for Wine-Staging and apply patches

cd wine-1.9.23
tar xvzf ../v1.9.23.tar.gz -C . --strip-component 1
./patches/patchinstall.sh DESTDIR="$(pwd)" --all

Notice: If you need more information then please refer to https://github.com/wine-compholio/wine-staging/wiki/Packaging

• Apply Gallium-Nine patches

  patch -p1 < ../wine-d3d9-patches-wine-d3d9-1.9.23/staging-helper.patch
  patch -p1 < ../wine-d3d9-patches-wine-d3d9-1.9.23/wine-d3d9.patch 
  

• Now apply patches from wine-gaming-nine

  patch -p1 < ../wine-gaming-nine/heap_perf.patch
  patch -p1 < ../wine-gaming-nine/increase_max_frag_samplers.patch
  patch -p1 < ../wine-gaming-nine/steam.patch 
  patch -p1 < ../wine-gaming-nine/wbemprox_query_v2.patch 
  patch -p1 -R < ../wine-gaming-nine/keybindings.patch 
  

  Notice: Be informed that keybindings.patch has to be reversed (-R option) -- not to be applied --.

• Now run autoreconf. That way options for Gallium Nine will be taken into account by configure

  autoreconf

• On my side here is my own configure command

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/gstreamer/1.6.3/lib/pkgconfig/ ./configure --prefix=/opt/wine/apps/FFXIV_Benchmark/ \
--with-alsa --with-capi --with-cms --with-coreaudio --with-cups --with-curses --with-dbus --with-fontconfig --with-freetype \
--with-gettext --with-gettextpo --with-gphoto --with-glu --with-gnutls --with-gsm --with-gstreamer --with-gtk3 \
--without-hal --with-jpeg --with-ldap --with-mpg123 --with-netapi --with-openal --with-opencl --with-opengl \
--with-d3d9-nine --with-d3d9-nine-module=auto --with-d3d9-nine-headers-path=auto \
--with-osmesa --with-oss --with-pcap --with-png --with-pthread --with-pulse --with-sane --with-tiff --with-udev \
--with-v4l --with-xattr --with-xcomposite --with-xcursor --with-xcb --with-xinerama --with-xinput --with-xinput2 \
--with-xml --with-xrandr --with-xrender --with-xshape --with-xshm --with-xslt --with-xxf86vm --with-zlib \
-with-va --with-x

Notice: gstreamer 1.6.3 is not included in my Linux system. I installed it in /opt/gstreamer/1.6.3/. That's the reason why I had to set up PKG_CONFIG_PATH.

Game works pretty well on Linux using Wine patched with Gallium Nine. I use the CSMT branch of iXit repo. Be careful this game can be pretty addictive!

Things you need to know

1. You have to disable d3d11 through winecfg to get it to work.
2. Gallium Nine is highly recommended to play this game. If you use Open Source Drivers and you switched Gallium Nine off through winecfg then you will get a green screen.
3. It is highly recommended to use a xbox360 gamepad to play this game. My own solution was to use Antimicro so I can map keys from my keyboard with my xbox360 gamepad.
4. If you get a crash while playing then it is related to graphical options. Try to switch off a few graphical options (Particules Effets etc)

Game works pretty well on Linux using Wine. Game can crash sometimes; Those crashes seem to be related to the game itself not Wine/Linux

I was not able to get this game to be played using Gallium Nine CSMT. At least it works with WineD3D/Mesa3D/RadeonSI

Update #1 - December-07-2016: This branch was deleted on Wednesday December 7th, 2016. Thoses patches are supposed to be pushed on official Mesa 3D Repo soon

Use the following command to clone the current Git Repo (CSMT branch) maintained by iXit Team for their tests

git clone -b csmt https://github.com/iXit/Mesa-3D.git Mesa-3D_iXit_CSMT_$(date -I)

Mesa-3D_iXit_CSMT_$(date -I) is just a folder. You can replace its name by whatever you want.

As of November 25th, 2016 there are 97 patches for Gallium Nine/CMST in the current branch CMST
