Is it possible to build Wine with Snappy?

i couldnt resist and played with it on the weekend …

sudo snap install --devmode --edge wine2-15

ogra@styx:~/wine-2.15$ ls /snap/bin/wine2-15.*
/snap/bin/wine2-15.notepad  /snap/bin/wine2-15.winecfg      /snap/bin/wine2-15.wineserver
/snap/bin/wine2-15.regedit  /snap/bin/wine2-15.wineconsole
/snap/bin/wine2-15.wine     /snap/bin/wine2-15.winefile

note that this is indeed highly experimental …

the source can be found at https://github.com/ogra1/wine-2.15 and needs an i386 lxd container or chroot to do the build in …

i hope that can serve as inspiration for someone to improve it :wink:

oh, and here is a screenshot running internet explorer using this snap (via wine2-15.winefile, navigating to C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\ and double clicking iexplore.exe)
