I wonder if someone has done successfull port of Wine for mobile/PDA Linux distributions on hardware with ARM processors. Is it possible? If no then are there any plans for multiplatform code in Wine? There are many Linux users of such hardware (like Neo FreeRunner etc.) which would like to use Windows applications on their portable ARM-based devices.
Kind Regards, Tom

Not an answer specific to ARM, but this section of the FAQ describes the situation with respect to running Windows applications on non-x86 platforms using Wine.

Wine does not emulate CPU. You will not be able to run native windows programs without recompiling them as winelib.

Sorry for the late reply to this. I expect you will see some arm support patches coming to Wine for winebuild and friends soon as the ReactOS guys have started working on an arm port. Its not to user mode yet but once it is, the tools they use will need to be extended so I'll make sure these get pushed back upstream.
Thanks
