macOS Catalina: wine doesn't work

[antelle]

Hi!

Looks like wine doesn't work on macOS Catalina: https://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=32590

% wine
zsh: bad CPU type in executable: wine

So, this package throws an error indeed. Example: electron/packager#1055

Would be nice to find a mitigation.

This is an issue with your install of wine, Catalina disables 32bit applications

@MarshallOfSound I think the answer is to add the x64 binary to node-rcedit (#50).

[antelle]

It won't work because there's no x64 version of wine for mac.

[malept]

Then I suppose the workaround is to either run Windows in a VM, or Linux (with Wine) in a container/VM.

When I install wine on my Mac via Homebrew, I get a /usr/local/bin/wine64 that works. If there were a 64-bit version of rcedit.exe, it would likely work with that wine binary.

1. brew upgrade wine, make sure "/usr/local/bin/wine64" exist
2. rm -rf ~/.wine
3. edit "node_modules/rcedit/lib/rcedit.js", change "wine" to "wine64" at line 42
4. download "https://github.com/electron/rcedit/releases/download/v1.1.1/rcedit-x64.exe", rename to "rcedit.exe" and replace "node_modules/rcedit/bin/rcedit.exe"

It works!!!

thanks @alexluoli, works like a charme. i didn't even had to follow step 2 (rm -rf ~/.wine). it seems that a fix is already waiting to be merged: #50

@alexluoli @maximilianschmidt can you write more details, please.
I'm from nklayman/vue-cli-plugin-electron-builder#468 (comment)
where I can find path by step 3?

[maximilianschmidt]

@AndreiSoroka you should target the node_modules folder in your project

[AndreiSoroka]

@maximilianschmidt oh, but I didn't have rcedit.

rcedit should be in the dependencies on vue-cli-plugin-electron-builder?

P.s. this is my first experience with electron
