Box64 segfaults with Arch Linux Wine package, while it does run Debian Wine package

[EuphoricCatface]

Setup:

• Acer Chromebook Spin 513, CP513-1H-S60F (with Snapdragon 7c SoC)
• Crostini
• Arch Linux ARM
• box64-git from AUR

Referring to the manual, I have managed to run wine64 on this system, by manually extracting the contents of the two needed packages into a folder. It was working well in a random folder under the home folder, and also after moving the folder under ~/.local/opt.

The kernel provided by ChromeOS seems to disallow binfmt, so the experience is not 100% seamless, but it is still manageable. I think mixing 32-bit Wine in is nearly impossible, but for 64-bit applications, I could first run x64 Bash with Box64, and then run whatever application I want with wine64. So it goes something like this:

$ box64 bash_x64
# box64 is at /usr/sbin/box64, bash_x64 is at ~/.local/bin/bash_x64 (which is from tests/bash of this repo)
$ uname -m
x86_64  # Now we know we've activated Box64
$ wine64 ~/path/to/win64/app.exe
# wine64 is at ~/.local/opt/wine9.5_devel_deb/bin/wine64, symlinked to ~/.local/bin/wine64

Now, I found it tedious to locate the .deb packages, download, extract, and move the folder, every time Wine updates. So, for the next step, I tried to use the official Arch package. However, regardless of where I install the package, it would always end up giving a segmentation fault. I tried extracting the package under the home folder, and then I also tried installing it system-wide using pacman. It always gives this output:

When installing wine via pacman, I could confirm I have all the dependencies except for lib32 ones and optional ones.

Thanks for reading. (and also for the cool project)

Could I ask how to force install the foreign architecture package on archlinux arm with lib32 packages missing with pacman?

[EuphoricCatface]

You mean how I installed the official wine package from x86_64 Arch Linux, right? This is the command I used: # pacman -U ./wine-9.5-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst -dd --arch=x86_64 As the help message states, -dd skips all dependency checks. Pacman will still show warning messages, so I made sure only the lib32 packages were missing. I believe lib32 packages shouldn't be needed if I use only wine64 and not wine.

I am running on Arch Linux ARM and I was seeing this same problem. I did install 9.12 from the repo using pacman -U and I am not seeing the error now, though when I tell it to run --version I am told it is version 8.21. I am seeing the error still.

EDIT: I had an old symlink in place for wine-8.21 when I last tried this.

Here is the successful wine 8.21 run:
