64-bit only Wine on Ubuntu 20.04

Post by l0st »

Is there a way to get a 64-bit only Wine configuration working on 64-bit Ubuntu? I do not need to run 32 bit Windows programs at all and would like to avoid ~1GB of 32 bit packages downloaded and installed. In fact, I'd like to run a .NET Framework-based AnyCPU executable.

I tried to install wine-devel-amd64, but it lacks winecfg binary, and trying to run the app complains about missing wineserver (which is, indeed, nowhere to be found).

I think it should be possible to use the native Ubuntu packages.

Code: Select all

sudo apt install --install-recommends libwine
sudo apt install --no-install-recommends wine64 wine
