64bit program on 32bit structure

Post by LewisD95 »

Hello,
I'm a new user of Wine, so this might be a stupid question. :?
I installed homebrew and wine (version 1.8) to play a 64bit Windows game on my mac. I read somewhere wine 1.8 does support 64bit programs, but when I try to start the game (with PlayOnMac), I get the error that I can't open a 64bit program on a 32bit structure. What can I do about it? Or do I have to wait until version 1.9 comes available?
I hope my question is clear enough!
Thanks a lot!

1.9.1 is already available, but I think the WineHQ Mac OS X packages are 32 bit only. There is someone working on getting Homebrew builds to support Wow64. https://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-d ... 11015.html

And PlayOnMac is not supported here.

I stopped working with PlayOnMac and tried to open the program via terminal, but I get the following error:
input:

$ wine "\Users\lewis\.wine\drive_c\Program Files\Grand Theft Auto V\GTA5.exe"

output:

err:process:create_process L"Z:\\Users\\lewis\\.wine\\drive_c\\Program Files\\Grand Theft Auto V\\GTA5.exe" not supported on this installation (x86_64 binary)
wine: Bad EXE format for Z:\Users\lewis\.wine\drive_c\Program Files\Grand Theft Auto V\GTA5.exe.

Should I try to follow the steps of the site you quoted?

Thanks a lot!

(I tried to follow the steps of the program, and I installed 1.9.1 on my Mac, but I still get the same error)

I'm not a Mac user, but it seems that GTA5 is 64bit only, so it won't run on a 32bit wine.
