Wine 1.3.4 on arm
 
After reading this on winehq: "Winelib now supports the ARM platform" I just had to try it.

Builds fine in sbox, no problems there. Initial run takes a while of clicking on cancel as winedbg crashes but after that the built in programs runs, but the window manager is not doing such a great job with the wine windows and dialogs.

Wow! This could be a pretty cool thing. Although i wouldn't have much use for it.. a lot of windows guys will.

Without combining it with a x86 emulator it won't do much good for running windows programs.

that would be great if we can even run small programs. Definately no one would expect to run photoshop, 3d max, autocad, arc gis etc in n900 with wine.

Not x86 binaries at any rate, but perhaps there are some good open source win32 programs worth "porting"?

Yes, for that it would work and afaik is what is intended by the wine folks.

It looks like quite interessting for some Windows CE applications to run on N900. Anyone tested Win CE programs with this?

That could be a very interesting way to go, but I suppose that in this version there is not enough support for WinCE APIs and architecture to even try it.

That's what I was thinking, WinCE. There are a lot of apps out there for that. Would be interesting to see how close WinCE APIs are to normal Windows. If they are similar, then I don't see why Wine wouldn't work well for running WinCE apps.
