Wine for Android support?

[oscarbg]

Hi, since Wine 3.0 we are getting precompiled Wine Android apks for arm and x86 arch (https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/android/).. still not yet for ARM64 or x86-64 arches..

usefulness for ARM

as pointed by some news sites for example with Wine Android for arm we can run some Windows RT apps.. a list is here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2092348 but for example Notepad++ for Windows RT requires Visual C++ 2013 runtime for ARM (get vcredist_arm.exe) as pointed here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2556112 "You will also need to install the Visual C++ 2013 runtime (get vcredist_arm.exe) because this is compiled using VS2013." don't know if Wine built in runtime is good enough on ARM to run this yet.. anyway a way to get the runtime installed on the .wine folder of the Android app (seems to be /data/data/org.winehq.wine/files/prefix/drive_c instead of default $HOME/.wine/...) should be a winetricks Android app showing a gui for selecting runtimes to install etc..

altough as said, right now we dont't get ARM64, similarly seems Windows for ARM64 SDK uses Visual Studio 2017 runtimes so compatibility with builtin Wine libraries may be worse.. note we can already since Visual Studio 2017 Update 15.4 generate Windows ARM64 binaries and these are less restricted than Windows RT ARM ones.. can use almost full Win32 classic API.. of course on XDA we can already find a list of precompiled Windows ARM64 apps: https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=18278#downloads all we need now is some precompiled Wine ARM64 apk to test the apps.. and a Winetricks Android app to get runtimes in case something goes bad..

for x86

altough there are not many native Android x86 devices, lots of Android x86 ISOs running very well on PC/laptops,etc.. make Wine Android for x86 interesting on its own.. well here the Winetrick app should onl need to replicate the classic script.. it's useful as you know from wineHq bug DB many apps still require some winetricks usage for getting vcrun, dxredist,etc.. so would be nice to have support..

just motivating winetricks devs to help Wine Android project to be successful!!

I actually wrote some initial support for arm (testing in a debian chroot on a chromebook).

I'll try to find time in the next day or two to boot it up and push the commits somewhere public.

That said, I didn't write an android app for it, and probably won't anytime in the near future. That's a large time investment that I don't have time for.

thanks.. will keep an eye.. that's fine enough.. really after requesting an app, I think the ability to run the winetricks Android compatible script from adb shell is very nice functionality still..

Can you make wine assets move to sdcard/android/data/org.winehq.wine cause my data partition not enough?

[austin987]

@sandibabsel, please open a separate issue for that
