Trying to upgrade wine on Raspberry Pi OS (32-bit)

[barhamd]

I have installed Bullseye and then box86 and wine using pi-apps. This installation all appears to work fine, with the exception of not being able to talk to the com port.

I wanted to upgrade the version of wine from the 5.13 installed by pi-apps to something later, preferably the latest stable 7.0.0.0

I've tried following the instructions as best I can but I'm getting stuck with incompatible dependencies.

Raspbian repository don't offer support for i386 architecture, so you'll need to install these dependencies manually separated from the system's libraries (to avoid replacing them)

[JoseskVolpe]

Wine also has support for ARM architecture, so you can install it natively (although you'll need to compile it)
However, have in mind most Windows applications doesn't support ARM natively, especially older ones - Main Windows has got ARM support recently, so ARM architecture will be gaining support from modern Windows applications
So using box86 is indeed a better option

I don't know how Raspbian's Wine is packaged, so take a look on it, it probably must package the needed libraries together

[barhamd]

As I said, I installed box86 so the pi should (I think) be running a i386 install of wine.
The application I'm trying to run is compiled for i386

box86 emulates a x86 processor architecture, so you're able to run i386 binaries on a ARM CPU, but it doesn't changes how your system works and how applications are packaged for it. Your system repository will still not support i386 packages officially - and that's why you can't use Debian way of installing Wine from the Wiki on Raspbian - , so to make use of i386 packages with box86, when they aren't available on your repository, you'll need to extract them in another way. - Avoid installing them directly from Debian's repository too, it's a different distribution.
