Yes, sorry, I didn't mean to sound critical of Wine.

I'm glad that it is just a packaging issue (the original topic of this
thread).

That's not unstable, that's the way it needs to be done.

To clarify this confusing thread:
wine64 as standalone can run 64-bit windows apps (on a 64-bit processor of 
course)
wine(32) can run 32-bit windows apps
a wow64 setup means wine64 and wine(32) side by side with some
exchange mechanisms to run 32-bit apps in the same wineprefix as 64-bit ones

Linux distros handle packaging that differently:
fedora uses the i386 package as a dependency, arch builds both together

OK, that's what I would call unstable.  Eventually though, I would expect a
packaged wine64 to include wow64, just like Windows does.

There is still a need for the 32bit wine, as the wow64 build will ONLY
run 64bit windows apps, so for the majority of applications and games,
we'll still need the 32bit wine.


Is that because wow64 is unstable in wine64?

Wow64's reason for existence is to run 32-bit Windows binaries on 64-bit
Windows/Wine and it works pretty well for most applications.

wow64 doesnt -exist- in wine64 unless you compile the 32bit wine 
alongside it.


You have to build it twice, to get two binaries "wine" and "wine64" and 
if you build them "properly" what happens when you attempt to execute a 
64bit app with "wine" it's automatically relaunched with "wine64" But 
the reverse is NOT true.

Wow64's reason for existence is to run 32-bit Windows binaries on 64-bit
Windows/Wine and it works pretty well for most applications.

The patch [3] for nVidia users is now included in the package and is run on
