Hello forum,

Does TCL for ARM have a "wine"  tcz  in the repo?.....

If so, will that "wine" allow you to run x86 based apps?

Hi vinceASPECT

... If so, will that "wine" allow you to run x86 based apps?

I don't think so. Wine is meant to emulate another OS (Windows), not another processor architecture.

Every such demonstration uses wine with qemu, and such emulation is very slow.

ok thanks.

That is great app. Exagear

1)......i see that i can load  Exegear on ARM Linux......
2) ..... then Load Wine for x86 into Exegear....
3)......and then run x86 windows apps on ARM...........

all at almost native speed.   (80 percent)


.........does the Exegear app require a paid licence on Linux?

Oh Exegear was discontinued 6 months ago. Not been able to buy a licence or anything since then.

What do you want to run? 3D game, 2d game, 2D office app, hardware (USB.COM,LPT) ) app?

i was looking into running ARM versions of Linux on Orange Pi computers and other similar 10 dollar boards.

Armbian, retroOrangePi,,,,and many other ARM Linux distros exist for the boards......... Arch also.

The idea is to hook up 6 boards via crossover cat cables.... for parallel music processing in a particular app called Reaper on Arm. (reamote wiki)

It's all perfectly possible but my main motivation was being able to run Linux VST-plugins and VSTi (instruments) plugins within the Reaper tool .......on ARM Linux.   

This is certainly fully possible with the embedded VST's that come wrapped inside Reaper.(Arm)..... and they can all utilize the "reamote" parallel cpu idea.

However, when wanting to use any third party Linux VST plugins, it requires they be compiled for Arm....and you only really find them compiled for x86. 

It would mean i would need to compile them for Arm from source.

There are thousands of third party Linux VST's    (without blogging any further)

thanks

Yes....without wanting to blog,


The idea mentioned in the earlier post is all perfectly possible.

I have also found the Linux tool(s) free....that allow a Linux DAW like REaper on Arm
to just handle windows32 VST plug ins directly. They are special wrapper tools and they
may even be already in Arch repo on Arm....like Reaper is in the Arch Arm repo  to build it's
binary...

THe reason and my motivation is to have a very powerful music work environment that's
Largely unhindered by CPU limitations........currently many people will be paying excessive
cash to get such computers since anything about 8 cores in x86 land is costly. 

Reamote allows you to just hook up any Laptops you have lying around and the CPU's are all
seen as one .....so that is handy......but with ARM computers being so cheap you can really
build a powerhouse music machine on a shoestring with the above idea. Reamote.

Hence it's why Reaper is available for ARM..... at all.   
(probably the hidden gem is that Reamote also
works on ARM Reaper .....the paralleling up of unlimited CPU's is possible at very low $$$...)

thx
