I thought this was quite a good idea. So much so that I went and created one. Perhaps you would like to test it:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63902

###UPDATE###

I've updated my wine-bin package to match the current x86 ebuild
version (20050211). This seems to have fixed the problems with 2.6.10
kernels. I've also made a .tar.bz2 of my win-bin overlay to make it
easier to install.

This is an attempt to provide a wine ebuild for gentoo amd64 that will
enable you to run win32 applications without having to resort to a
chroot.

The binary files were created in a 32bit chroot on an amd64 box using
the x86 wine ebuilds. I try to keep the versions inline with that of the
x86 ebuilds where possible.

These packages are provided in the hope they will be usefull and come
with no warranty - use at your own risk.

Istallation instructions
-----------------------

The following assumes that you are running a Gentoo system on amd64 and
that you have PORTDIR_OVERLAY=/usr/local/portage set in /etc/make.conf.

1. cd /usr/local/portage
2. wget http://fermat.ma.rhul.ac.uk/wine-bin/wine-bin-overlay.tar.bz2
3. tar -jxvf wine-bin-overlay.tar.bz2
4. emerge wine-bin

Thanks a lot for this ebuild. I tried several solutions for Wine under amd64 but this is the only thing that worked without a mess.

I think this ebuild should be taken to portage for amd64 users!

I followed your procedure exactly, and it Just Plain Works(tm). Listening to mods in modplug player as we speak. Nice job, thank you very much!

I think this deserves to be in portage.

Ok, now for a really basic question.
How do I use your ebuild?

oooo, thank you

)) , I had to read it five times to understand.
Now I know how to use the ebuilds in bugzilla. I'll try gimp-cmyk also.

It is possible that the compressed file(s) have become corrupted.
You can use the -tvv option to test integrity of such files.

You can use the `bzip2recover' program to attempt to recover

I don't know why but it is downloading the file from some uk server

http://fermat.ma.rhul.ac.uk/~herbie/wine-bin-20040408.tar.bz2

and after i delete the wine-bin and file emerge wine-bin again it gives me this error

This is a noob-ish question....how do I update portage to show wine-bin? I probably have binary ebuilds disabled somewhere. (I sync'ed today by the way.)
