Hi all,
The latest version of Wine (Windows compatibility binaries) has introduced a new
architecture of loading itself with a new "WoW64" system. Microsoft's "WoW64" allows
32-bit binaries to run within a 64-bit environment. Wine has traditionally supported
this with pointing to files in /usr/lib for 32-bit and /usr/lib64 for 64-bit.
Starting with 10.2 the architecture now searches for binaries in the same library
path for both arches. Meaning /usr/lib for both 32-bit and 64-bit and /usr/lib64 for
both.
An easy update for Fedora is to symlink the /usr/lib/wine directories to
/usr/lib64/wine and vice versa. The differing arch binaries would not live in the
wrong path, but the symlinks have me doubting this as a good solution. This
primarily affects upgrades of existing Wine installations using the old WoW64
architecture. The symlinks are not required for new Wine installations.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Michael
