# Bug Report
## Problem
I'm running MacOS Big Sur, and the windows platform within electron doesn't
build.
### What is expected to happen?
I expect a 64 bit windows binary to be built. I know MacOS Catalina and
greater can't build 32 bit binaries.
### What does actually happen?
I get an error message: `bad CPU type in executable`
```

## Information
I understand there's a bit of history or dependency to this issue:
- MacOS no longer supports 32-bit executables since Catalina
- Back in 2019 when many tickets on this were opened, wine didn't ship with
a 64-bit executable (but it does now)
- This package depends on upstream packages, which depend on upstream
packages, and the problem is most likely rooted up there somewhere.
Some concrete information on the issue from upstream:
- https://github.com/electron/node-rcedit/issues/51
- https://github.com/electron/electron-packager/issues/1055
- https://github.com/electron/node-rcedit/issues/51
A workaround:
A solution that is floated around on most of those issues above is
summarised well here:
https://github.com/electron/node-rcedit/issues/51#issuecomment-546234084
It suggests using brew to install wine, then editing a package called
`rcedit` to rename `wine` to `wine64`. In short, there is a way to make this
work. The problem with the workaround from a cordova-electron perspective is
that the package doesn't actually get installed anywhere coming from
`cordova-electron`, and I can't work out where this rcedit package fits in the
schema of things to file a report elsewhere.
Anyway, back to the core of this issue, it seems possible to build win64
binaries from MacOS and so it seems surprising to me that I can't build those
binaries when I could on an earlier mac.
So here's this ticket, where I hope cordova-electron can pursue MacOS win64
builds, even if that simply means identifying the upstream packages and having
the community advocate with them. I'm happy to play my part if I can determine
how it all fits together.
### Command or Code
```
cordova platform add [email protected]
cordova build electron
```
### Environment, Platform, Device
- MacOS Big Sur (also present on MacOS Catalina)
### Version information
- cordova 10.0.0
- cordova-electron 2.0.0
- brew 3.0.9
- wine-stable package from brew
- `wine64 --version` reports `wine-5.0`
## Checklist
- [x] I searched for existing GitHub issues
