I have been hacking away at this on and off for several days now. There is even another thread about the topic floating around here. But I thought I would ask a more straightforward question and hopefully get someone who has some insight.
Has anyone here gotten Wine 1.7.11 (development) working on Debian Sid? By "working" I mean actually running some Windows program, not merely being able to supposedly install the package. If so, how?
I've tried installing the latest wine from Sid's repos, downloading the deb package from WineHQ itself (which nearly broke package management for me :-7 ), and tried to find wine's 32 bit architecture, since trying to run wine in 64 bit mode keeps asking for it. I have multiarch installed, but apt-get refuses to install.
Oh, and I tried just going with Playonlinux. It reports Wine crashing before even the installation begins. It crashes just after creating the folder for the app you intend to install.
Here's a
similar thread on Debian's own site.
