How to start wine?

[Thomas Mueller]

What are LD_LIBRARY_PATH and LD_32_LIBRARY_PATH supposed to be?  I see neither of these environment variables defined.

And what about PATH?

I am trying

#!/bin/sh

set PATH=/compat/i386/usr/local/bin:/compat/i386/usr/local/sbin:/compat/i386/usr/bin:/compat/i386/usr/sbin:/compat/i386/bin:/compat/i386/sbin:$PATH
export LD_32_LIBRARY_PATH=/compat/i386/usr/local/lib:/compat/i386/usr/lib:/compat/i386/lib:$LD_32_LIBRARY_PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/compat/i386/usr/local/lib:/compat/i386/usr/lib:/compat/i386/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

but I feel like I'm just thrashing here, will run into trouble trying to execute 32-bit binaries when not appropriate.

I see 

/lib
/libexec

/usr/lib
/usr/lib32
/usr/libdata
/usr/libexec

/usr/local/lib
/usr/local/libdata
/usr/local/libexec

and then there are some subdirectories of these directories

with the FreeBSD i386 installation not mounted.

I have seen LD_LIBRARY_PATH before from building packages from source.

I thought maybe wineboot would set up the environment, but it looks like I have to set up the environment beforehand.

What is the difference between the various wine ports in $PORTSDIR/emulators?  I used wine-devel, newer but less tested than wine.

Upstream latest release is 1.6 as far as I can see.

Building X for FreeBSD i386 before wine would be necessary for running from i386 boot even if not runnable from amd64.

My i386 version was/is somewhat behind amd64 version.
