Actually there is a bug in qemu, so it can't work without a patch ([https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/902413 qemu-i386-user on ARM host: wine hangs]).

This configuration is not supported, but you'll be able to run some Applications. '''Don't ask for support on winehq.org''', but be free to read [http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=17701 I got Wine/x86 1.5.11 to run on Linux/ARM with qemu!].
* patch qemu with [http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/45206/ the NPTL patch], you must do it manually when using recent qemu, e.g. the one from [http://repo.or.cz/w/qemu/agraf.git Alexander Graf]
* compile it with

* copy Wine/x86 with all needed libraries from your desktop to the corresponding /usr/gnemul/qemu-i386/* folders except wine-preloader (it won't work)
* as root run
 
echo ':i386:M::\x7fELF\x01\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x02\x00\x03:\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xfe\xfe\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xfb\xff\xff:/path/to/patched/qemu/i386-linux-user/qemu-i386:' >/proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register

* create a wineprefix on your desktop with

ARM support

Motivation

Windows apps are mostly compiled for x86 and they won't run on ARM with bare Wine, likewise ARM applications won't run on x86(_64) with bare Wine, so this is not our motivation.

The original Motivation was to be able to run winelib-apps on ARM, that even was before it got public that win8 will run on ARM devices. Meanwhile we support these new ARM PEs for win8!

Status

  • Yes, It works! (TM)
  • Running win8 ARM PEs also works.
  • Already ported Putty to ARM as winelib application.
  • First patch was September 18. 2009, final patchset sent September 18. 2010 and they got in Wine-1.3.4
  • Wine on ARM already gets packaged by Debian (since 1.7.35), Fedora, Maemo and openSUSE.
  • Good debugger/disassembler support.
  • Relay tracing.
  • Relocation.
  • Linux Kernel patched upstream for running Windows RT applications see Bug 31322

Todo

How to help

  • Fix compiler warnings.
  • Run winetest and report your results.
  • Fix test failures or analyse them, see below.
  • Report bugs with winelib or Windows RT applications.
  • Write tests for missing functions.

Compiling

Toolchains: Every toolchain with Thumb support should work as we are independent from the crti.o mode since wine-1.5.8

Compiling on the ARM Device is recommended:

../configure && make

Anyway here is a crosscompiling example:

../configure --host=arm-linux-gnueabihf host_alias=arm-linux-gnueabihf --with-wine-tools=../path/to/your/native/wine/build && make

Maybe you also should append something like:

CFLAGS="-mcpu=yourcpu -g -O2" LDFLAGS="-mcpu=yourcpu"

Fixme/Todo: Compiling inside a chroot

Running Windows RT Applications

You can find a list of such ported applications at forum.xda-developers.com. To run them you'll need a recent Wine and a Linux Kernel with the tpidrurw patch, it's included since Kernel 3.11-rc1. When you're unsure if the Kernel you are using supports it, you can clone, make and run tpidrurw-test, it'll tell you if your Kernel is suitable.

Running Windows CE Applications

That's still pre-alpha/proof-of-concept and not part of official Wine, don't expect any success. WineCE can be found at github.

Example use of Qemu for running x86 code: Wine for PPC (per qemu usermode emulation)
