 Yes, that is the way I originally did it but I felt WINE_SLAVE_BUILD was le=
 ss=20
 cryptic.  Either way is fine for me. =20

 Actually, wine-fbsd64 is also ONLY_FOR_ARCHS=3Di386.  Since FreeBSD does no=
 t=20
 support cross building ports this port has to be built in an i386 environme=
 nt.=20
 This port does run in an i386 environment.  The only way I know of to deliv=
 er=20
 an amd64 port is to use binary packages. =20
 
 The intention of this port is for those who want to build wine/i386 that wi=
 ll=20
 work with FreeBSD/amd64 (using the patches I have provided), and since it i=
 s=20
 fairly easy to build an i386 chroot this will greatly reduce the complexity=
