wineprefix 32 on 64 issue

[slvteam]

Hi, All!!!

Can anybody help with wineprefix issue?
I'm trying to install Civilization V. To avoid bugs I want to use win32 wine prefix, but the subsequent call of winetricks shows 64-bit warning.
There is terminal output:

slv@slava-host:~$ rm -fR .local/share/wineprefixes/*
slv@slava-host:~$ rm -fR .wine/
slv@slava-host:~$ WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=/home/slv/.local/share/wineprefixes/CivV wine 'wineboot'
wine: created the configuration directory '/home/slv/.local/share/wineprefixes/CivV'

If I substitute the command line:
WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=/home/slv/.local/share/wineprefixes/CivV wine 'wineboot'
with the following:
WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=/home/slv/.local/share/wineprefixes/CivV winecfg
and just press OK in the GUI window which shows up,
I get the same result:
wintricks warns that the specified prefix is not win32.

Please help

You can't change the architecture of an existing wineprefix. WINEARCH=win32 has to be set when you first create it.

As for Civ V, are you aware that there is now a native Linux version?

You can't change the architecture of an existing wineprefix. WINEARCH=win32 has to be set when you first create it.

Could you explain this point?
As I wrote before I deleted all wine prefixes as a first step using these commands

slv@slava-host:~$ rm -fR .local/share/wineprefixes/*
slv@slava-host:~$ rm -fR .wine/

And just after that, I did:
$ WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=/home/slv/.local/share/wineprefixes/CivV wine 'wineboot'
As far as I understand wineprefix is created at this point. Am I right? If yes, what I'm doing wrong?

You're creating the wineprefix correctly, but you're not installing to the wineprefix you created.

Specifically, see here: http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#wineprefix

In short, remake the new 32-bit wineprefix as you did before, then you'll need to set WINEPREFIX=/home/slv/.local/share/wineprefixes/CivV for every subsequent command (or set it in the shell with export).
