[Nix-dev] Re: wine on x86_64, and x86_64 in general

Hi Lluís,

about wine on x86_64:
It never worked as far as I know.
I think you've hit the point as well. It has something to do with i686
libs and that the gcc multilib compiler (or wrappers or whatelse) still
doesn't work as expected in this case.
The multilib compiler can create both: i686 and x86_64 files.
It would be terrific to make it work cause for creating some grub
related files you'll need i686 as well.
The only way to do a nixos-rebuild is by either getting those grub files
by
a) binaries
b) remote compilation on an i686 nix aware machine (AFAIK)
Maybe my knowledge is outdated here..

So to fix wine you probably have to fix gcc here as well.
Maybe its fastest to use qemu and start a real Win (version) instance.

If you want to fix it: good luck :)
