Comment 1 Michael Cronenworth 2014-07-08 21:44:30 UTC
Red Hat dropped support for 32-bit in RHEL7. The main wine package will attempt to pull in both arches since it is simply a meta package. A workaround for now would be to directly install each package. This will only install 64-bit packages and will only run 64-bit Windows applications.

# yum install wine-core wine-wow wine-pulseaudio ...

@Bjoern (besser82), please ask the Wine maintainers (Andreas and myself) or test with scratch builds in the future before building updates. That is not what provenpackager status is for.

meta package fixes

All, here is a patch for the meta package. If this looks good (or I don't see comments) I'm going to push it and push builds.

Here's an EPEL7 scratch build if you want to test it: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=7119583

wine-desktop in this build still requires wine-core(x86-32)

Comment 4 Chris Paulson-Ellis 2014-07-09 08:52:14 UTC
I can still run 32-bit ELF executables on CentOS 7 even though there is no 32-bit kernel or installer - I've installed {glibc,glib2,etc}.i686.

Not surprisingly, the Windows PE executables I need to run are 32-bit too. Is there no chance of supporting it - short of using Fedora, which is what I'm trying to migrate from?

Comment 5 Constantin Dunayev 2014-07-09 10:04:40 UTC
Red Hat DID NOT drop support for 32-bit applications, there are 32-bit packages in main repositories, but EPEL haven't any 32-bit packages in it

Ah, good catch. I'll fix this.

RHEL7 has a bare minimum 32-bit multi-lib environment. It has to otherwise it would alienate a lot of RHEL customers who use proprietary, closed-source 32-bit software. This does not mean wine can be built for 32-bit.

There is no chance.

After testing on CentOS 7 I had to also create a symlink for wine64/wine. Here's the updated patch and scratch build.

Comment 9 Fabian Arrotin 2014-07-10 11:40:12 UTC
Well, the other solution (what I did here) is to rebuild the wine SRPM (and all needed deps) for i386/i686.
But that also means pointing a specific custom mock config file to CentOS 7 i386 to populate a buildroot (doesn't work against RHEL 7)
I would like to know the official Epel opinion about Epel i386 (or not)

Comment 10 Michael Cronenworth 2014-07-12 21:35:07 UTC
I've pushed a 1.7.22 build.
