WINE installation questions
Hi everyone,
on the WINEHQ WIKI installation instruction page: https://wiki.winehq.org/Ubuntu This is stated: Installing WineHQ packages If you have previously installed a Wine package from another repository, please remove it and any packages that depend on it (e.g., wine-mono, wine-gecko, winetricks) before attempting to install the WineHQ packages, as they may cause dependency conflicts. If your system is 64 bit, enable 32 bit architecture (if you haven't already): sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 I am assuming that this is telling WINE to work with both 64bit and 32bit Windows applications. Am I correct in my understanding? Also, my understanding is that LinVST supports 64bit and 32bit Windows VSTs. Am I correct in understanding this? Is there anything special that has to be done with 32bit vs 64bit VSTs to make them work? Do they need to go into a different directory or need any special settings? Am I on the right track or way off? I'm just now getting around to trying to install the Windows part of things. Thanks! |

Wow! 20 views and not a single response amongst all of you experts? Really?

But some 32 bit Windows apps need more libraries so a distros multilib/multiarch needs to be installed. 32 bit vst's running under the 64bit LinVst versions need a distros multiarch to be enabled (sudo apt-get install gcc-multilib g++-multilib for Ubuntu/Debian). After that, LinVst (the 64/32 Makefile version which is the default binary release) can run (or attempt to run) 64 and 32 bit vst's and they are basically just treated the same by LinVst. |

2) Who claimed to be an expert on this? 3) A whole 20 views! A whole 3 hours without a response! Welcome to Linux. This won't be the last time you'll have to be a bit patient. |

I'll help when I can, too. That is, if I don't end up neck deep in my own Linux install issues. I have some work to complete on my system (and then one more backup to do) before putting Linux on it. |
