The log message is misleading, it's looking for something around ARMv7 but I haven't been able to figure out what. I imagine most ARMv7 owners would just use armhf, so unless there's a particular use-case for whatever is meant by armel support in Wine then there doesn't seem to be much point in supporting it. (I wondered at one point whether a v6 Raspberry Pi would run it but apparently not, none of the v6 targets satisfy the configure script.) > 2.) > Matching 64- and 32-but architectures: > > For an arm64 system, I assume wine32 should be installed from armhf (and > optionally from armel in case we fix that)!? > But installing wine32:i386 (or :powerpc) would not work, or should at > least not be suggested!? Yes on all counts. TBH I'm not sure there's all that much point in trying to come up with a meaningful 32/64-bit story on ARM though, given the lack of 32-bit ARM Windows software that makes sense to use on anything but a WinRT device...
