Need help to get box86 and Wine Installed

Hello All,

Need help to get box86 and Wine Installed … My installation gets stuck during compiling of box86

Here is my output :

Thanks already for your time

Welcome aboard the lifeboat!

I run box64 on my desktop system which is the only Pi5 I possess.

I use it to operate the Nord Modular control surface, but I haven’t run it in a month or so. I have noticed it is updated almost everyday. Such is the dynamic world of Windows programming.

I doubt it would run on a zynthian. It’s simply too much going on that specifically doesn’t really know about what else is happening to inter-relate properly. Certainly transferring audio between the environments would seem to be bettter handled by a separate machine and the traditional interfaces used to connect and control the connection. It’s both impressive and infuriating that a purely windows programme can be run and it connects over MIDI to the Nord Modular! and it works !!

But sometimes it doesn’t.

Not for live certainly.

Even more infuriating the Wine Box64 combination won’t pass the USB protocoled information so th Nord Modular’s elder brother remains in it’s nicely fitting padded case in the cupboard of shame…

a cupboard looking shameful and a smug nord modular

Sorry if this doesn’t directly answer your problem. Installing wine & box64 ( the one you probably need) onto a Pi is documented in several places, and that is probably the point you want to start from. As there are lots of more generic articles covering other linux distributions that have the tremendous advantage that they are probably running on Intel hardware.

Others may be along shortly to point out the glaring omissions in my summary, and provide a detailed insight into what this software tool offers, how it does it and why it won’t work in the one situation you absolutely need it to work in . . .

As @wyleu says, it can be done but why? Context is really important to provide useful advice.

Hey , thanks already for your replies and explanations , the purpose of my request is to have the possibility to use some of my vst’s in carla. Carla is already working but i’m not able to use my x32 / x64 vst’s that i’m using now at my windows setup…
