winetricks in aarch64 chroot fails to call wine
My chroot:
- Debian 11 Armhf
- Compiled box86 from source
- Wine binary from PlayonLinux: https://www.playonlinux.com/wine/binaries/phoenicis/upstream-linux-x86/PlayOnLinux-wine-7.4-upstream-linux-x86.tar.gz
- winetricks from source
wine runs fine with box86, but running winetricks returns:

Seems like winetricks is calling wine without box86. I can't find a similar issues and it appears that other people's setup (though most prob not a chroot) works fine. If anyone have a fix for this, please let me know. In the mean time, I guess I will try to change all the call from winetricks script to box86 and see how that turns out to.
That's a binfmt integration issue (so x86 binary are automatically using box86 to run). Not sure how you can integrate binfmt onchroot. It should be possible but there might be a trick to it. I don't have chroot experience, so I cannot help on this subject.
@iamSlightlyWind You need to put box86 binfmt.d config on host and restart binfmt.d on host. Than it should work.
Thanks. Unfortunately, I'm still in the process of trying to get my kernel booting, rather than actually implementing binfmt or configuring binfmt yet.
I'm closing this ticket, as bin-fmt issue are out of scope.
Note that you can run i386 bash with box86, to workaround lack of binfmt. See here for details: https://box86.org/2022/09/running-bash-with-box86-box64/
