Interestingly, this announcement makes it sound like you might not even need 32-bit libraries anymore:
- The 64-bit Windows-on-Windows (WoW64) architecture is implemented, and
supports running a 32-bit Windows application inside a 64-bit Unix host
process, using thunks to map 32-bit NT system calls to the 64-bit NTDLL.
- WoW64 thunks are implemented for most Unix libraries, enabling a 32-bit PE
module to call a 64-bit Unix library. Once the remaining modules are
converted to PE, this will make it possible to run 32-bit applications
without installing 32-bit Unix libraries.
- vetinari 5y agoI wonder how that will work on M1 macs. Right now, trying to run any 32-bit executable with Wine 6 is being met with "bad CPU type in executable".
- my123 5y agoCrossOver’s Wine builds have wine32on64 to run x86_32 programs using Rosetta 2 on M1 macs. Available at https://github.com/Gcenx/homebrew-wine https://github.com/Gcenx/homebrew-wine if you want to use a free build for example.
