I'm sorry nobody got back to you -- the wine-devel
mailing list might have been a better place to ask.
I believe winelib runs on the following non-x86 operating
systems: Linux, Solaris, Mac OS X, and FreeBSD.
There's no reason in principle it couldn't run on AIX or HP/UX.
Some work has been done on an HP/UX port, but some
assembly would be required to complete it:

Cheers,

We actually managed to get HPUX (on PA-RISC) working reasonably well 
early last year.  We didn't attempt porting a few of the parts I 
considered optional, like winedbg, oleaut32, and opengl.  Still, it ran 
some pretty significant applications (i.e., mine :-) very well. 

The assembly code generated for HPUX is a bit different from the other 
platforms, and all of the ifdefs in winebuild were getting pretty hard 
to follow.  I'm hoping the recent changes to winebuild will make it 
easier to integrate, whenever I get around to updating...  Until that 
happens, if anyone needs HPUX winelib, I'll be happy to send a tar of my 
working copy.  It works on HPUX 11 and 11i, and maybe others.

The Sparc Solaris version of winelib we use works on at least Solaris 7, 
8, and 9.  It was working on Solaris 2.6 at one point, but we no longer 
have a machine that old to test on.

What operating systems will Winelib run on non-x86 systems?

Hi, Eric:

I am interested in obtaining the HPUX winelib (for HPUX 11.0).  Are you 
still offering to e-mail it to those who need it?

I'm just starting to look into this, so please excuse my ignorance if 
further developments have been made to this since Jan. 2006 of which I 
am unaware.

Thanks!
