You can prevent weird errors and glitches caused by unfinished wine libs by installing the original d3dcompiler_43.dll and d3dx9_24.dll - d3dx9_43.dll

• xorg-server >= 1.16
• libxcb & xcb-proto >= 1.11 (only exception is Debian, where is 1.10 enough)
• To use the DRI3 backend, xf86-video-nouveau >= 1.0.11 (for nVidia cards), xf86-video-ati >= 7.6.0 (for AMD Radeon cards), xf86-video-intel >= 2.99.916 (for Intel cards, recently disabled DRI3 in development git, must be reenabled)
• To use the DRI2 fallback (slower but avoid DRI3 potential issues with GL): mesa compiled with –egl-platforms=drm,x11
• mesa >= 10.4 with parameter –enable-nine

Why is DRI3 recommended?

The Direct3D 9 architecture matches closer to the DRI3/Present model, thus why we choosed to base on it for our implementation. However we implemented a DRI2/Present fallback, which emulates DRI3 with a buffer copy, to be used when DRI3 is unavailable (due to bugs in DRI3 GL stack, DRI2 is preferred by distributions).

• more information about DRI3

• http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa (master or any branch above 10.4)
• https://github.com/iXit/Mesa-3D/ (staging & testing branches)
  • master branch (follow Mesa-3D master branch)
  • hacks branch (follow iXit master branch, including various hacks [mostly nouveau])

Currently, wine must be compiled from special repository or must be patched.

• https://github.com/iXit/wine (master branch)

Some patches can be found at http://download.ixit.cz/d3d9/ (not necessarily up-to-date)

Here: https://github.com/sarnex/wine-d3d9-patches is also maintained a patch to apply to the last version of wine

You should build mesa as usual, only add

./configure --enable-nine

For the wine build, you'll need to have Mesa with Nine already. Then, simply pass

./configure --with-d3dadapter

Note: If you are cross-compiling, you will need to set PKG_CONFIG_PATH to point to the correct-architecture d3d.pc

You do not need to specify if you are going to use the DRI3 backend or the DRI2 fallback. At runtime it'll detect the one available (with a preference for DRI3).
