WineD3D For Windows Build Scripts

This repository contains the scripts I use to build WineD3D For Windows.

Download

You can get prebuilt DLL files from my website

If you're trying to fix an old game, you must use the 32 bit version, even on 64 bit systems.

Compatibility

These scripts were tested on Arch Linux and Debian. Older versions of this project supported Debian exclusively.

How to build

Prerequisites

To build WineD3D, you'll need to download some libraries first, most of them are probably already installed in your system. It is strongly recommended to use a dedicated VM for building.

Arch, Manjaro, etc. (Recommended)

sudo pacman -Sy alsa-lib attr autoconf bison desktop-file-utils faudio ffmpeg flex fontconfig fontforge freetype2 gcc-libs gettext giflib git glu gnutls gsm gst-plugins-base-libs gtk3 lcms2 lib32-alsa-lib lib32-attr lib32-faudio lib32-fontconfig lib32-freetype2 lib32-gcc-libs lib32-gettext lib32-giflib lib32-glu lib32-gnutls lib32-gst-plugins-base-libs lib32-gtk3 lib32-lcms2 lib32-libcups lib32-libgl lib32-libldap lib32-libpcap lib32-libpng lib32-libpulse lib32-libsm lib32-libva lib32-libxcomposite lib32-libxcomposite lib32-libxcursor lib32-libxdamage lib32-libxi lib32-libxinerama lib32-libxml2 lib32-libxmu lib32-libxrandr lib32-libxslt lib32-libxxf86vm lib32-mesa lib32-mpg123 lib32-openal lib32-opencl-icd-loader lib32-sdl2 lib32-v4l-utils lib32-vkd3d lib32-vulkan-icd-loader libcups libgl libgphoto2 libldap libpcap libpng libpulse libsm libva libxcomposite libxcomposite libxcursor libxdamage libxi libxinerama libxml2 libxmu libxrandr libxslt libxxf86vm mesa mingw-w64-gcc mpg123 openal opencl-headers opencl-icd-loader perl samba sane sdl2 sharutils v4l-utils vkd3d vulkan-headers vulkan-icd-loader

Debian, Ubuntu, etc.
Note: you need to use a 32 bit version of Debian to build the 32 bit DLLs and a 64 bit version for the 64 bit ones.

sudo apt build-dep wine
sudo apt install mingw-w64 git

Building

Latest version of WineD3D

sh build32.sh

The build process will take some time, at the end, you'll find 2 directories called wined3d and wined3d-staging, which will contain the build DLLs. The staging variant is built using wine-staging, which may improve compatibility.

Specific version of WineD3D
If you want to build a specific version of WineD3D, all you have to do is download the tarball of the version you want to build, extract it, and run

sh build32.sh path_to_source_code/

The build process will take some time, at the end, you'll find 2 directories called wined3d and wined3d-staging, which will contain the build DLLs. The staging variant is built using wine-staging, which may improve compatibility.

Note that this build may fail on very old versions of Wine.

64 bit build

The 64 bit version of WineD3D is only useful to run 64 bit apps on 64 bit Windows, it is not for old games.

To build 64 bit DLLs, simply replace build32.sh in the previous commands with build64.sh

Special thanks

Thanks to Syvat G for improving the patched version to enhance compatibility!
