After building Wine 32bit from source, it gives me a error:

Code:

0009:fixme:heap:RtlSetHeapInformation (nil) 1 (nil) 0 stub

Can you help?

should be as easy as using yum

Code:

su -
yum install wine

it is in the epel repo

this will install the 32 and 64 bit ( multi DLL )

you might also want to install the qt front end " q4wine"

Hi John,

After installing wine from the repo, I cannot use it:

Code:

$ WINEPREFIX="$HOME/prefix32" WINEARCH=win32 wine app.exe
wine: '/home/notooth/prefix32' is a 32-bit installation, it cannot support 64-bit applications.

$ WINEPREFIX="$HOME/prefix64" WINEARCH=win64 wine64 app.exe
wine: Bad EXE format for app.exe.

After installing wine from the repositories with

Code:

yum install wine

the resultant path is:

Code:

[root@localhost:~]# which wine
/bin/wine
[root@localhost:~]# which wine64
/bin/wine64

Whatever is in /home is probably leftover from your earlier attempts.

I installed wine with this command:

Code:

# yum install wine

But the path is:

Code:

$ which wine
/usr/bin/wine
$ which wine64
/usr/bin/wine64

My point is that you were changing where to look for wine. /user/bin should be in your PATH. Don’t set WINEPREFIX, just login as the regular user and run

Code:

wine app.exe

to setup that user’s environment.

I still get the same error:

Code:

$ wine app.exe
wine: Bad EXE format for app.exe.

what is this windows program you are trying to run ?

Not every microsoft program will run in wine

Puppy's way of handling this is for devs, at release of any new, 'official' version, to produce an SFS package which adds all the possible, commonly-required 32-bit dependencies to the /usr/lib32 directory. Following which you merely issue

Quote:

ldconfig

....to integrate it with the system. Because it's an SFS package, and can be loaded/unloaded 'on-the-fly', you just 'install' it as & when required....

Puppies always use the 32-bit versions of WINE, because WINE64 is just a pain in the a**e to get running. At all. Personally, I use a single, external 'install' of WINE in its own dedicated directory, sym-linked, via custom-made .pet packages, into 32- and 64-bit Puppies alike. Once set-up in any Puppy, it just works, OOTB, in any other.

Custom Menu entries permit me to access WINE from whatever Puppy I happen to be using for the day.

Mike.

I’m wondering if you have a bad app.exe left from your non-repo attempts.

On CentOS 7, yes. But unfortunately, only wine64 is packaged for EPEL 8:

Code:

$ rpm -q wine
wine-4.0.3-1.el8.x86_64

Code:

$ ll /usr/bin/wine{,64}
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root    22 13. Dez 13:26 /usr/bin/wine -> /etc/alternatives/wine
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 20024 27. Nov 16:10 /usr/bin/wine64

Code:

$ alternatives --display wine
wine - status is auto.
 link currently points to /usr/bin/wine64
/usr/bin/wine64 - priority 10
 slave wine-preloader: /usr/bin/wine64-preloader
Current `best' version is /usr/bin/wine64.
