Thanks Michael for quick response.

Hello Andre, Is this https://github.com/AndreRH/wine your repo ? This gives me something to play around.

regards,
Mahin

Hello Mahin,

wine-6.0 officially removed PPC32 support, see the release notes
https://www.winehq.org/announce/6.0
"- Support for the obsolete 32-bit PowerPC architecture is removed. It
  had been broken for some time already."

PPC64 was never supported.
Afair there were talks about adding PPC64LE but that never materialized. André might know how far that is.

Also, I don't remember that AIX was ever supported. So that would be an additional effort.

bye
