macOS Catalina: wine doesn't work #51

antelle · 2019-10-08T20:05:59Z

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.

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

This is an issue with your install of wine, Catalina disables 32bit applications

malept · 2019-10-08T20:56:47Z

@MarshallOfSound I think the answer is to add the x64 binary to node-rcedit (#50).

antelle · 2019-10-08T20:57:33Z

It won't work because there's no x64 version of wine for mac.

malept · 2019-10-08T21:03:47Z

Then I suppose the workaround is to either run Windows in a VM, or Linux (with Wine) in a container/VM.

cap10morgan · 2019-10-11T14:35:03Z

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.

alexluoli · 2019-10-25T07:17:37Z

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!!!

maximilianschmidt · 2019-10-25T15:03:30Z

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

AndreiSoroka · 2019-10-25T17:07:50Z

@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?

maximilianschmidt · 2019-10-25T17:16:15Z

@AndreiSoroka you should target the node_modules folder in your project

AndreiSoroka · 2019-10-25T17:22:18Z

@maximilianschmidt oh, but I didn't have rcedit.

 "dependencies": {
    "bootstrap": "^4.3.1",
    "bootstrap-vue": "^2.0.4",
    "core-js": "^3.3.2",
    "cpisn": "^1.0.1",

    "@vue/cli-plugin-vuex": "^4.0.0",
    "@vue/cli-service": "^4.0.0",
    "@vue/eslint-config-airbnb": "^4.0.0",

    "sass-loader": "^8.0.0",
    "vue-cli-plugin-electron-builder": "^1.4.0",
    "vue-template-compiler": "^2.6.10"
  },

rcedit should be in the dependencies on vue-cli-plugin-electron-builder?

P.s. this is my first experience with electron

maximilianschmidt · 2019-10-25T17:29:14Z

@AndreiSoroka i think its a peer-dependency and thus not listed in the package.json. just use Finder for navigating to /node_modules/rcedit

AndreiSoroka · 2019-10-25T17:39:57Z

@maximilianschmidt yep.
I checked: ./node_modules/** (with deep folders)
find ./node_modules -name rcedit
And not found

antelle · 2019-10-26T12:52:01Z

Nice, question to authors: what about rebuilding the package? 😉
(oops, haven't noticed that a PR is already there)

paul-piro · 2019-10-30T03:26:33Z

Why isn't anyone updating this repo with rcedit-x64 if that is the solution?

charmer1989 · 2019-11-23T10:02:49Z

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 macOS Catalina: wine doesn't work #51 (comment))

It works!!!

esigalas · 2019-11-27T13:21:19Z

... and replace "node_modules/rcedit/bin/rcedit.exe" ...

can I ask what is the full path for that file?
thanks

unbreakableglass · 2019-12-02T09:51:13Z

... and replace "node_modules/rcedit/bin/rcedit.exe" ...

can I ask what is the full path for that file?
thanks

/usr/local/lib/node_modules/nativefier/node_modules/rcedit/bin/rcedit.exe

esigalas · 2019-12-02T10:31:06Z

/usr/local/lib/node_modules/nativefier/node_modules/rcedit/bin/rcedit.exe

now I am confused
why do I have to have npm installed?

kylekrzeski · 2019-12-02T19:53:45Z

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?

esigalas · 2019-12-08T02:45:28Z

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

unhuman · 2020-02-26T22:09:19Z

After you homebrew, just alias wine to wine64

It won't run 32 bit apps though.

wine64 start instate of wine start

OlyDLG · 2020-08-24T17:53:19Z

brew upgrade wine, make sure "/usr/local/bin/wine64" exist

rm -rf ~/.wine

It works!!!

Please elaborate on Step 1 (I've heard of homebrew, but never used it: is "brew upgrade wine" a terminal command?) Thanks!

OlyDLG · 2020-08-24T18:02:51Z

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. :-)

jordanlewis · 2020-08-25T16:41:23Z

@OlyDLG https://brew.sh/

/usr/local/lib/node_modules/nativefier/node_modules/rcedit/bin/rcedit.exe

This path doesn't exist on my pc, even after running npm i -g rcedit

imclint21 · 2020-09-30T00:53:35Z

Good one, just use wine64 instead!

coserei · 2020-10-12T17:47:27Z

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

It works!!!

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