There's no way to run Wine on anything other than an x86 platform. On a
PPC you have to emulate the complete CPU, which WINE doesn't do and thus
it only exists for x86. Your free alternatives for PPC under Linux are
Bochs and Qemu. They both emulate a complete x86 system under Linux on
your PPC. However, don't expect anything near the performance of WINE as
it is on an x86.
Qemu is also able to do CPU emulation at application level. This means
that you can launch Linux/x86 applications from Linux/PPC. For
example, Macromedia Flash. You should then be able to launch Wine as
well.
That sounds interesting! Can you tell me more about the performance of
such a setup? I'd figure you don't need to emulate a whole system in
this way, making the resulting emulation faster than Bochs and the whole
desktop experience much more integrated. Is this a viable option for day
to day use?
