I installed the wine 3 package from epel-testing this morning on a newly installed CentOS 7.5 machine. The installation seemed to go fine. If I may ask two questions...
Does this version of wine support 32 bit Windows programs on CentOS 7.5?
No. rhel7 (and epel7 by extension) does not support i686 arch, which is required for win32 support
Based on my experience, rhel7 and centos7 DO support i686. epel has a whole bunch of ...-devel.i686 packages. I have been running wine 1.8 i686 on CentOS 7 for more than two years. I am attempting to build wine 3 from source and the epel src.rpm as I write this.
I guess the question really is... is 32 bit support included in the epel binary rpm?
No, I looked. Here's a snippet from wine.spec hinting at it: # x86-32 parts %ifarch %{ix86} x86_64 %if 0%{?fedora} || 0%{?rhel} <= 6 Requires: wine-core(x86-32) = %{version}-%{release} Requires: wine-capi(x86-32) = %{version}-%{release} Requires: wine-cms(x86-32) = %{version}-%{release} Requires: wine-ldap(x86-32) = %{version}-%{release} Requires: wine-twain(x86-32) = %{version}-%{release} Requires: wine-pulseaudio(x86-32) = %{version}-%{release}
Note, only included if rhel is <=6
Then I tried to tell you why (that rhel7 has no i686 edition and epel7 has no i686 buildroot), but you didn't believe me. Suit yourself.
