Is it possible to run Wine on Debian Dockstar?
April 07, 2011 12:47AM
I'm a newbie to Linux. I've learned a lot from this forum, and I have installed SSH, Asterisk and VNC on my Dockstar.

Just wondering if it is possible to install Wine on Dockstar so that I can run some Windows applications on it. Is Wine such a resource hog that tiny Dockstar cannot handle it with merely 128 MB RAM and 1.2 GHz CPU?

For some applications, there are only i386 based binaries and Windows binaries. If there is a way to run i386 binaries on ARM-base Debian, I may not need Wine.

Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.

you cannot run wine on a dockstar. wine tries to run code native but arm does not execute i386 code.

maybe some emulators like bochs, qemu,... may work.

Thanks for clarification, sushi. I guess my Dockstar now has an execuse not to do the heavy lifting. :-)
