macOS Catalina: wine doesn't work
antelle opened this issue · 29 comments
Hi!
Looks like wine doesn't work on macOS Catalina: https://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=32590
% wine
zsh: bad CPU type in executable: wine
So, this package throws an error indeed. Example: electron/packager#1055
Would be nice to find a mitigation.
This is an issue with your install of wine, Catalina disables 32bit applications
@MarshallOfSound I think the answer is to add the x64 binary to node-rcedit (#50).
It won't work because there's no x64 version of wine for mac.
Then I suppose the workaround is to either run Windows in a VM, or Linux (with Wine) in a container/VM.
When I install wine on my Mac via Homebrew, I get a /usr/local/bin/wine64 that works. If there were a 64-bit version of rcedit.exe, it would likely work with that wine binary.
- brew upgrade wine, make sure "/usr/local/bin/wine64" exist
- rm -rf ~/.wine
- edit "node_modules/rcedit/lib/rcedit.js", change "wine" to "wine64" at line 42
- download "https://github.com/electron/rcedit/releases/download/v1.1.1/rcedit-x64.exe", rename to "rcedit.exe" and replace "node_modules/rcedit/bin/rcedit.exe"
It works!!!
thanks @alexluoli, works like a charme. i didn't even had to follow step 2 (rm -rf ~/.wine). it seems that a fix is already waiting to be merged: #50
@alexluoli @maximilianschmidt can you write more details, please.
I'm from nklayman/vue-cli-plugin-electron-builder#468 (comment)
where I can find path by step 3?
@AndreiSoroka you should target the node_modules folder in your project
@maximilianschmidt oh, but I didn't have rcedit.

rcedit should be in the dependencies on vue-cli-plugin-electron-builder?
P.s. this is my first experience with electron
@AndreiSoroka i think its a peer-dependency and thus not listed in the package.json. just use Finder for navigating to /node_modules/rcedit
@maximilianschmidt yep.
I checked: ./node_modules/** (with deep folders)
find ./node_modules -name rcedit
And not found
Nice, question to authors: what about rebuilding the package? 😉
(oops, haven't noticed that a PR is already there)
Why isn't anyone updating this repo with rcedit-x64 if that is the solution?
-
brew install homebrew/cask/wine-stable Then mv /usr/local/bin/wine64 /usr/local/bin/wine
-
download "https://github.com/electron/rcedit/releases/download/v1.1.1/rcedit-x64.exe", rename to "rcedit.exe" and replace "node_modules/rcedit/bin/rcedit.exe" (Thanks from #51 (comment))
It works!!!
... and replace "node_modules/rcedit/bin/rcedit.exe" ...
can I ask what is the full path for that file?
thanks

now I am confused
why do I have to have npm installed?
- brew install homebrew/cask/wine-stable Then mv /usr/local/bin/wine64 /usr/local/bin/wine
- download "https://github.com/electron/rcedit/releases/download/v1.1.1/rcedit-x64.exe", rename to "rcedit.exe" and replace "node_modules/rcedit/bin/rcedit.exe" (Thanks from #51 (comment))
It works!!!
rcedit wasn't in my project or /usr/local/lib/node_modules. I tried npm installing it and doing those steps though that didn't seem to work. Any idea what to do if it's not there?
ok actually I found a solution to my problem.
I have installed wine-stable using brew cask.
when I run the wine command I get the known error
% wine zsh: bad CPU type in executable: wine
but there is a proper binary installed as well, so I just used the command wine64 instead
After you homebrew, just alias wine to wine64
It won't run 32 bit apps though.

my life is meaningless

Please elaborate on Step 1 (I've heard of homebrew, but never used it: is "brew upgrade wine" a terminal command?) Thanks!
Also: where/how does one acquire homebrew: I tried Google, all I get is Homebrew CPU, and the App Store only gives me brewing apps. :-)

This path doesn't exist on my pc, even after running npm i -g rcedit
Good one, just use wine64 instead!

I can't find wine at line 42, however I can find it at line 40, is this right, or is my install wrong?
