Wine/Wine Staging + DXVK package builder & auto-installer

Boost up your Wine experience with a taste of DXVK and automate installation of DXVK + Wine/Wine Staging on Debian/Ubuntu/Mint/Arch Linux/Manjaro. Additionally, update your GPU drivers + PlayonLinux wineprefixes to use the latest Wine & DXVK combination available.

About

One-click solution for accessing bleeding-edge Wine/Wine Staging & DXVK packages system-widely on Debian/Ubuntu/Mint and on Arch Linux/Manjaro. Alternatively, you can pick any version of Wine/Wine Staging & DXVK to be used.

Wine Staging 3.20, DXVK and winetricks on Debian 9. Normally, winetricks & DXVK are not available, and Wine is set to very old version 1.8.7 on Debian - leaving all the sweet candies out. Not anymore - let's end this misery and give user finally a choice.

Motivation

Accessibility, lower the barrier. Help people to get their hands on the latest (bleeding-edge) Wine/Wine Staging & DXVK software on major Linux distribution platforms without hassle or headaches.

There is not an easy way to auto-install the latest Wine/Wine Staging & DXVK, especially on Debian/Ubuntu/Mint. The newest Wine/Wine Staging is not easily accessible on Debian-based Linux distributions, and DXVK is practically bundled to Lutris or Steam gaming platform as a form of Proton. However, not all Windows programs, like MS Office or Adobe Photoshop, could run under Linux Steam client: Many Windows programs actually rely on system-wide Wine installation which is why system-wide Wine/Wine Staging & DXVK auto-installation this script offers becomes quite handy.

The solution provided here is independent from Steam client or any other Wine management platform. The latest Wine/Wine Staging & DXVK bundle will be accessible system-widely, not just via Steam, Lutris or PlayOnLinux. Provided PlayOnLinux prefix update is optional, as well.

Adapt system-wide Wine/DXVK to your Steam Windows games

If you want to easily use Wine/Wine Staging and DXVK with your Steam Windows games on Linux, you may want to check out my helper script steam-launchoptions.

With the helper script, you can set launch options for a single game/selected group of games/all games you have on your Steam account. You can customize the launch options for both Windows and Linux games and clean all existing launch options, too.

Contents

  • Wine/Wine Staging & DXVK: Installation script for supported Linux distributions

  • Nvidia drivers: Installation script for supported Debian-based distributions. Independent script.

  • Winetricks install Installation script for supported Debian-based distributions. Can be run independently.

  • Patches: Possibility to use your custom patches with Wine & DXVK

Requirements

  • Linux Distribution: Debian/Ubuntu/Mint OR Arch Linux/Manjaro. Variants may be compatible but they are not tested.

  • RAM: 4096 MB (DXVK build process may fail with less RAM available)

  • Not listed as a hard dependency, but recommended for DXVK: The latest Nvidia or AMD GPU drivers (Nvidia proprietary drivers // AMDGPU)

  • Time: it can take between 0.5-2 hours for the script to run. Compiling Wine takes a lot of time. You have been warned.

Why to compile from source?

Latest version of Wine/Wine Staging & DXVK are only available via git as source code which must be compiled before usage. Note that compiling Wine takes a lot of time. Compiling from source has its advantages and disadvantages, some of them listed below.

Advantages:

  • packages are directly adapted to your system

  • packages do not rely on PPAs which may be abandoned in time

  • using Git sources provide the latest packages available publicly

Disadvantages:

  • takes time & CPU processing power

  • is unreliable in some cases, the script may break easily due to rapid DXVK development or distro changes

  • may break working already-working versions of the packages (use --no-install parameter to avoid installation of DXVK & Wine, just as precaution)

Script usage

For short help instructions, run:

bash updatewine.sh --help

on the main script folder.

You can pass arguments like:

bash updatewine.sh --no-staging --no-install

All supported arguments are:

  • --no-staging = Compile Wine instead of Wine Staging

  • --no-install = Do not install Wine or DXVK, just compile them. Note that Wine must be installed for DXVK compilation.

  • --no-wine = Do not compile or install Wine/Wine Staging

  • --no-dxvk = Do not compile or install DXVK

  • --no-pol = Do not update current user's PlayOnLinux Wine prefixes

  • --no-winetricks = [Debian only] Do not compile or install Winetricks. No DXVK installation unless Winetricks already installed.

Force/Lock package versions

You can force/lock specific Wine, Wine Staging, DXVK, meson & glslang versions.

This is handy if you encounter issues during package compilation (DXVK/glslang or meson, for instance). yYou should consider forcing package versions by defining a the latest git commit which still works for you. You can do this by specifying the following variables in updatewine.sh:

  • git_commithash_dxvk, git_commithash_wine, git_commithash_glslang, git_commithash_meson

These settings apply only on Debian/Ubuntu/Mint:

  • git_commithash_glslang

  • git_commithash_meson

Force/Lock package versions: How-to

Take a look on updatewine.sh. You can find above variables listed there.

Each variable applies values which must be match package git commit tree. The value format is as follows:

  • A) 40 characters long commit hash. Use this if you want this commit to be the latest to be used in package compilation, not anything after it.

  • B) keyword HEAD. This defined the specific package to use the latest commit available on repository (read: this is bleeding-edge version of the package)

Version freezing can be used on all supported platforms (Debian/Ubuntu/Mint/Arch Linux/Manjaro).

Force/Lock package versions: about Wine Staging

When you install Wine Staging and you define specific vanilla Wine commit in git_commithash_wine (not HEAD) variable, the latest available Wine Staging version compared to that vanilla Wine commit is used. Practically, this usually means even slightly older package version since the last matching Wine Staging commit usually doesn't match the commit you define for vanilla Wine. In most cases, this shouldn't be a problem.

Debian users: Winetricks installation

NOTE: This section doesn't concern Ubuntu or Mint users.

Since Debian doesn't provide winetricks package on official repositories, it is strongly recommended that you use provided debian_install_winetricks.sh to install Winetricks. Winetricks is required for successful DXVK installation. You can run debian_install_winetricks.sh either independently or as a part of updatewine.sh main script.

Custom patches for Wine & DXVK

You can apply your own patches for DXVK & Wine by dropping valid .patch or .diff files into dxvk_custom_patches (DXVK) or wine_custom_patches (Wine) folder.

Folders dxvk_disabled_patches and wine_disabled_patches are just for management purposes, they do not have a role in script logic at all.

Wine patches are not related to Wine Staging patchset. You can use your custom Wine patches either with Wine Staging or vanilla Wine.

Compiled packages are stored for later usage

Successfully compiled Wine & DXVK packages are stored in separate subfolders. Their locations are as follows.

On Debian/Ubuntu/Mint:

  • main-script-folder/debian/compiled_deb/

On Arch Linux:

  • main-script-folder/arch/compiled_pkg/

The actual subfolders which hold compiled programs are generated according to buildtime timestamp, known as build identifier.

DXVK usage

NOTE: DXVK must be installed before applying these steps.

To enable DXVK on existing wineprefixes, just run

WINEPREFIX=/path/to/my/wineprefix setup_dxvk

winetricks is required for this command.

Add DXVK to PlayOnLinux Wine prefixes

To install DXVK on specific PlayOnLinux wineprefix which uses a different than system version of Wine, apply the following command syntax:

WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/myprefix" WINEPATH=$HOME/.PlayOnLinux/wine/{linux-amd64,linux-x86}/wineversion/bin" setup_dxvk

where you need to set either linux-amd64 or linux-x86, and wineversion + myprefix to match real ones, obviously.

system-wide winetricks executable (/usr/bin/winetricks) is required for this command.

Manually uninstall temporary development packages (Debian/Ubuntu/Mint):

Development packages can take extra space on your system so you may find useful to uninstall them. The script provides an automatic method for that but you can still use additional debian_cleanup_devpkgs.sh script which is targeted for uninstalling build time dependencies manually. The script uninstalls majority of Wine-Staging (Git), meson & glslang buildtime dependencies which may not be longer required. Be aware that while running the script, it doesn't consider if you need a development package for any other package compilation process (out of scope of Wine/DXVK)!

To use debian_cleanup_devpkgs.sh, simply run:

bash debian_cleanup_devpkgs.sh

EXAMPLES:

NOTE: If --no-install option is given, the script doesn't check for PlayOnLinux Wine prefixes.

NOTE: PlayOnLinux Wine prefixes are checked for current user only.

1) Compile Wine Staging & DXVK, and make installable packages for them. Install the packages:

bash updatewine.sh

2) Compile DXVK and make an installable package for it. Do not install:

bash updatewine.sh --no-wine --no-install

3) Compile Wine Staging and make an installable package for it. Do not install:

bash updatewine.sh --no-dxvk --no-install

4) Compile Wine and make an installable package for it. Do not install:

bash updatewine.sh --no-staging --no-dxvk --no-install

5) Compile Wine & DXVK, and make installable packages for them. Do not install:

bash updatewine.sh --no-staging --no-install

6) Compile Wine Staging & DXVK, and make installable packages for them. Do not install:

bash updatewine.sh --no-install

7) Compile Wine & DXVK, and make installable packages for them. Install the packages:

bash updatewine.sh --no-staging

8) Compile Wine, and make an installable package for it. Install the package, do not check PlayOnLinux wineprefixes:

bash updatewine.sh --no-staging --no-dxvk --no-pol

GPU drivers

For DXVK, it is strongly recommended that you install the latest Nvidia/AMDGPU drivers on your Linux distribution. For that purpose, Arch Linux/Manjaro users can use Arch/AUR package database. Debian/Ubuntu/Mint users should use provided scripts files

GPU drivers on Debian/Ubuntu/Mint

Nvidia users

Use debian_install_nvidia.sh by running bash debian_install_nvidia.sh

AMD users

Not a solution provided yet.

NOTE: The latest GPU drivers are usually NOT available on official Debian/Ubuntu/Mint package repositories, thus these helper scripts are provided.

NOTE: Nvidia & AMD driver installer shell script can be run individually, as well. It is not bundled to the rest of the scripts in this repository, so feel free to grab them for other purposes, as well.

NOTES

The following section contains important notes about the script usage.

Do not pause a virtual machine. It is not recommended to run this script in a virtualized environment (Oracle VirtualBox, for instance) if you plan to Pause the virtual machine during script runtime. This causes an internal sudo validate loop to get nuts. In normal environments and in normal runtime cases, this doesn't happen. Validate loop is required to keep sudo permissions alive for the script since the execution time exceeds default system-wide sudo timeout limit (which is a normal case).

Script validation test

Validation test done for the script to ensure it works as expected. Occasional test-runs are mandatory due to rapid development of the packages (Wine/DXVK) it handles.

Latest test-run: 17th November, 2018

Linux Distributions:

  • Success: Arch Linux 64-bit, Linux Mint 19 64-bit, Ubuntu 18.04 64-bit, Debian 9 64-bit

  • Failure: N/A

Failure reasons:

N/A

Notes:

Git commit freezing used for DXVK & meson. Reasons:

TODO

  • Add compilation/installation script for the latest AMDGPU on Debian/Ubuntu/Mint

  • Remove temp folders in case of failure (meson/glslang/dxvk-git/wine... temp build folders)

  • Unify error & warning messages layout, unify internal variable & function names

  • Common script clean-up

  • Separate glslang and meson build process from dxvk on Debian?

  • Better handling for sudo validation loop function

    • may cause the terminal output to get nuts

    • when interrupting the script, the exit functionality may not be handled correctly?

  • The script doesn't handle SIGINT correctly while executing 'pkgdependencies' function

  • Add non-interactive mode for Puppet, Ansible, SaltStack and for better automation?

    • Consider the following topics/issues while developing

      • supress any warning messages, or terminate script execution if requirements not met

      • supply sudo password or run as root?

      • sudo validation loop, how to handle correctly?
