Comment # 5 on bug 1227467 from asdhio

> I only see srb2-1.0.9.4 as an .exe file, so I would expect that it's run with WINE instead and brings all dependencies itself.
This script builds it from source. Wine isn't involved in the process.

From https://www.srb2.org/category/news/page/4/:
"Windows users, you’ll notice that we don’t have a 64 bit build again. This is
deliberate. The 64 bit build does not provide errorlogs, and those are becoming
increasingly more important. The more people we have using those instead of 32
bit builds creates issues for getting reliable bug reports. And since there’s
no benefit whatsoever to having a 64 bit build since Windows runs 32 bit
applications perfectly fine, we’re not going to provide 64 bit builds until we
can figure out what’s going on that is preventing errorlogs from being
generated. As such, you will need a fresh 2.2.1 install of the 32-bit build to
patch 2.2.3 over, the new patch will not work with the resource files that 64
bit builds required."
Official Linux builds got dropped not long after this move.
> https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/games/srb2 has a successful x86_64 build.
It does have a semi successful build, however it is more prone to crashes.
These crashes are hard to report - since the lack of errorlogs - so this
experience is suboptimal at best.
