Wine32 gives exec error on Chromebook

Post by bolo1010 »

I'm running a ARM64 version of Chromebook with the Linux enabled. Downloading through the deb package manager Wine installs and runs but I get this message every time in the terminal.

And as you can I see tried installing the wine32:i386 package and it seems to install ok but I get the exec error 40 code. Removing the package allows wine to run again.

Any ideas to what can be going on? I tried troubleshooting the problem myself reading through the wiki and other post but nothing has fixed the problem. Thanks in advance

Your ARM64 processor cannot run i386 programs.
If you want to run "normal" 32-bit Windows programs, you will need to install an emulator, such as Box86, that can run the 32-bit programs.
If you want to run 32-bit ARM Windows programs, you can add the armhf architecture to your system.
