Debian Wine 64 bit.

[mattonfire]

Does anyone know how to install Wine 64 bit so that I can run 64 bit installers.

Wine settings are stored in ~/.wine, unless you create a WINEPREFIX (or use a frontend to start wine, which in fact will most probably use a WINEPREFIX).

 

Wine should create a 64bit "windows installation" (I guess it is more correct to call it an environment) per default on a 64bit distribution. Oviously you can not create a 64bit installation on a 32bit Linux distribution, but the opposite is possible. WINEARCH variable is used to control the type of environment wine will create.

 

So move away ~/.wine (or delete if you are sure you do not need to restore it) and try again.

I am running 64 bit Debian. So I have to compile it from the source, have you done this before?

sudo apt-get install wine q4wine; q4wine & disown

No, and yes.

 

Most probably a 64-bit Debian already has 64-bit wine. Unless they have changed the default, it should create a 64-bit wine environment per default.

 

For 32-bit wine environment, you might need to install compatibility libraries. In any case, you probably do not need to compile from source; the required packages should be available in most major (and minor) distributions. Haven't used Debian for a while (in the last 8 years or so), so I can not say for sure.

 

Try the q4wine frontend, as suggested by @slicknux, it may show you which kind of prefix you are using, and perhaps help in creating new ones. Haven't used it myself.

@slicknux's solution seems to be working right now but there are a few issues. For example it can't seem to run specific applications like the python installer.

Any help?

How come you need Python in Wine? You have it in Linux too.

Why are you using such an old version of wine?

Not much I can see without logs or terminal output.

All I was using for wine is your Q4Wine from the commandline with the script you gave me.
