           Summary: Dependency Packages for EL7 compatible Systems
           Product: Packaging
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux

I am running a CentOS 7 system with an old wine version and I would like to
update to the latest official stable Version, but this version is not packaged
on any compatible EL7 repository.

I checked out the instructions on
https://wiki.winehq.org/Fedora
but I found that the guide starts at Fedora 22 while CentOS 7 is mostly
compatible with Fedora 19 and 20 and hardly with Fedora 21 because of Package
Dependencies.

I also checked out the recommended "RPM Fusion" Repository but I had to find
out that it only offers packages for EL5 and EL6 systems. It is not updated yet
to EL7 while effectively suffers from missing Packages that are not shipped by
RHEL.

So without the "RPM Fusion" Repository I checked out how many Package
Dependencies I have available from the required ones in the manual.

The Manual at
https://wiki.winehq.org/Fedora

requires 81 pendent Packages

from the "RPM Fusion" Repository there are 20 Packages required

20

but without this Repository I have only 8 / 20 Packages available:
# yum info libmpg123-devel.i686 gstreamer-plugins-base-devel

This is mostly due to RHEL7 not shipping most i686 Packages anymore.

If you are asking for help to compile Wine on CentOS 7, the WineHQ forums are a
better place for such questions. Based on your description I assume there is
nothing wrong with the guide for Fedora, and that it just does not apply for
CentOS 7. It is possible that the "missing" packages are just called
differently, or that Cent OS does not provide them in their official
repositories yet.

Some time ago Cent OS 7 had no support for 32-bit at all
(https://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=23434) making it basically
impossible to compile Wine. If this has changed in the meantime (and the
support is sufficient for Wine) we might also want to consider providing WineHQ
packages.

The failure of your distro to package Wine's dependencies is not a Wine bug.

One more thing: the instructions on the Fedora wiki page are for Fedora only.
CentOS/RHEL has its own page, which was last updated in March, 2016.

Hi,

Thank you for your replies.

I read the sources at the provided links with interest.

Interestingly I have a 32-bit wine installed on my 64-bit CentOS 7 to run
32-bit Windows applications.
Of course just like the sources state I could not achieve it without relying on
third party repositories that would provide the 32-bit libraries that are
missing.
On the other hand you can install many Fedora 19 and 20 Packages without
problems because they have the same dependencies met.
That was why I read the Fedora guide to learn how I could manage to install it
or compile it on CentOS 7.
But if you try to compile source code for Fedora 22 and newer it requires
mostly newer Versions of the same libraries that are available on EL7
compatible systems which makes the intent fail.
And if you cannot compile the sources you cannot build an EL7 compatible
package.

Now I have an old 1.7.2 version of wine installed because a provider of an
inofficial EL7 Repository actually managed to build it.
But it seems that he did not update it until now to the latest version.

# wine --version
wine-1.7.21

# rpm -qi wine
Name        : wine
Version     : 1.7.21
Release     : 1.el7.arrfab
Architecture: i686
Install Date: sáb 17 ene 2015 00:03:09 WET
Group       : Applications/Emulators
Size        : 0
License     : LGPLv2+
Signature   : (none)
Source RPM  : wine-1.7.21-1.el7.arrfab.src.rpm
Build Date  : jue 10 jul 2014 07:53:45 WEST
Build Host  : c7build.home.arrfab.net
Relocations : (not relocatable)
Packager    : Fabian Arrotin 
Vendor      : Arrfab.Net
URL         : http://www.winehq.org/
Summary     : A compatibility layer for windows applications
Description :
Wine as a compatibility layer for UNIX to run Windows applications. This
package includes a program loader, which allows unmodified Windows
3.x/9x/NT binaries to run on x86 and x86_64 Unixes. Wine can use native system
.dll files if they are available.

In Fedora wine is a meta-package which will install everything needed for wine
to work smoothly. Smaller setups can be achieved by installing some of the
wine-* sub packages.

Now seeing that there are so many articles about this it is very obvious that
this is a highly requested need for the CentOS community.

I noticed that there is now a WineHQ Repository to download and update most
recent improves on the Project as source and binary Packages, which was not so
in the past which is really an big improvement of the accessibility of the
latest advances on the project.

So I thought I might make aware of this need of the CentOS community.

Unfortunately, if CentOS doesn't provide 32-bit libraries, you can't get a
working wine32
