As of this writing, multilib/wine still depends on lib32 packages. However, build with wow64 mode is in testing. Users are advised to switch when it is out of testing.

Because of oech3 repeatedly opening deletion requests, this package will not be converted to metapackage, or any actions other than notification in comments, to assist users with migration.

@xiota: Thank you very much for the update for pcsclite!

Here is a minor issue:

wine-wow64: /usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail exists in filesystem

which can be fixed with:

@daprutser The change you've requested doesn't make sense for this package.

  • This package is capable of running 32-bit binaries in wow64 mode. (Try running the 32-bit version of audacity.)
    • Emulating win98 isn't a common use case nowadays. However, the issue is fixed in commit 3fb88216.
    • For many users, the point of using this package is to drop lib32/multilib depends.
  • Building twice wastes resources.
    • At least doubles build time.
    • Storage requirements increase to 1360MB, from 490MB.

This PKGBUILD creates a version of wine that is not capable of running 32 bit code, and is therefore not able to emulate windows98.

I've taken the PKGBUILD of wine in the non-user repository, and updated it. That yields wine 9.0rc2 that is capable of emulating windows98.

That PKGBUILD is here: https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56039

@tiziodcaio: official wine package has added pcsclite and lib32-pcsclite to makedepends & optdepends [1]. Could you consider adding pcsclite again as I've mentioned earlier in September?

Thanks! Please next time if you have an update use the "flag as out-of-date" to notify me about the newer release :)

I've updated the pakage to 9.0rc2 by changing pkgver and _pkgver and regenerating the checksums. edit: removed the PKGBUILD as the update has been accepted

The package builds fine when all instances of pkgver are changed by _pkgver This is the working PKGBUILD: edit: removed the PKGBUILD as the update has been accepted
