Installation on aarch64 linux based system

Post by [email protected] »

This is the step that I found on your website. But there are some things I am not clear about-

../configure --host=aarch64-linux-gnu host_alias=aarch64-linux-gnu --with-wine-tools=../yourotherbuilddir/ --without-freetype --without-x --enable-win64

What do you exactly mean by "yourotherbuilddir"?

I am building wine from source. So do you want to install the wine by normal method first and then use this or what? Please explicitly mention the steps before using above command line. Thank you

I presume you mean: WineHQ: ARM64
  • Do you actually have a 64-bit ARM SOC board - to run Wine on?
  • Do you realise that you can only run Windows binaries compiled for a matched AMD architecture version and architecture (32-bit/64-bit)?
    (that will be a very limited list!!)
ARM64 support for Wine is more of a hobbyist thing - than something especially useful (at present).

Also I'd check that you really know what you're getting into here!!
If you don't even know what cross-compiling is - i.e. to build biarch AMD64 Wine on an AMD64 platform (for example)...
Then you're going to get stuck very, very quickly!!
