 Posted: Mon May 29, 2023 11:05 am Post subject: (Solved) Winetricks is Not Working on 64-bit Prefix. |
 |
|
Hello, fellow Linux folks, hope everyone is doing great. I have installed wine recently, along with winetricks. I am trying to create a 64-bit wine prefix to play S.T.A.L.K.E.R GAMMA, however, winetricks is not working with it, it does work with a 32-bit prefix though. I get the following message in my terminal after running WINEARCH=win64 WINEPREFIX=/home/ultimeight/Wine/gamma winetricks
| Code: |
------------------------------------------------------
warning: You are using a 64-bit WINEPREFIX. Note that many verbs only install 32-bit versions of packages. If you encounter problems, please retest in a clean 32-bit WINEPREFIX before reporting a bug.

After throwing this output, I simply get the shell prompt back, exiting the program. I was unable to find similar problem on the internet, hence turned to the forum for help.
I have installed wine using the following command:
doas emerge -av virtual/wine
Wine version: wine-8.0.1
Also, is the above wine same as 'wine-vanilla-8.0.1'? Because it shows up when I hit tab to autocomplete.
Here's my make.conf:
| Code: |
# These settings were set by the catalyst build script that automatically
# built this stage.
# Please consult /usr/share/portage/config/make.conf.example for a more
# detailed example.
COMMON_FLAGS="-march=native -O2 -pipe"

In my experience on a multilib x86_64 system, wine creates 64 bits prefix by default.
e.g. :
WINEPREFIX=/path/to/somewhere wineboot -i will create a 64 bit prefix.
WINEPREFIX=/path/to/another/location WINEARCH=win32 wineboot -i will create a 32 bits prefix.
Once the prefix is created, you do no need the WINEARCH anymore, just WINEPREFIX=/foo/bar wine stuff.exe or WINEPREFIX=/foo/bar winetricks stuff1 stuff2 etc..

wine will point to currently selected wine version (wine-vanilla-8.0.1 in your case), you can pick your wine flavor from your groceries store... err... I mean with "eselect wine list"
Wine is slotted, so you can have different versions installed, and switch between them using eselect wine set (note your wineprefix will update if you switch versions).
If you intend to use wine for gaming, you might wanna switch to wine-proton, it's the Valve fork, a bit faster with games. |

The default 32+64 at once (assuming was built with support for both anyway, which is also default on multilib profiles), and typically what you should go with unless trying to save space (Edit: it's the most used/tested layout nowadays, so tend to give less trouble).
