GRT under wine, under linux, under Docker. All on MacOS

grtwine

Some total nonsense I've whacked together to enable me to run GordonsReloadingTool on MacOS given I had Docker and XQuartz installed for Other Reasons.

Don't ask why I didn't just install wine via brew;

brew install --no-quarantine gcenx/wine/wine-crossover

Dependencies

On the local machine;

• An extracted copy of the 32-bit Windows GRT client in ~/grt.
• Docker for Mac 🤢
• socat
• xquartz

The latter two being via brew.

Overview

1. XQuartz should be configured on the host to allow network clients
2. make socat starts XQuartz and socat to expose the X Server
3. make build generates a locally Docker image (grt) with 32-bit Wine
4. make run spawns GRT under Wine using the previously exposed X server

Could this be better? Oh totally.
