adding wine to Archlinux

March 10, 2014

Hi all!

I would like to add wine to Archlinux. I am presently reading a few wikis;

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman

https://www.archlinux.org/pacman/repo-add.8.html

because I don't have the appropriate repository and I am not sure how to get it. Any clue anyone?

pacman -S wine will install wine as it is in the normal repositories:

[size=4]comhack@Cerberus ~ % pacman -Ss wine[/size]
community/wine-mono 4.5.2-1
   Wine's built-in replacement for Microsoft's .NET Framework
community/winetricks 20130707-1
   Script to install various redistributable runtime libraries in Wine.
multilib/q4wine 1.1_r2-1
   A Qt4 GUI for Wine
multilib/wine 1.7.14-1 [installed]
   A compatibility layer for running Windows programs
multilib/wine_gecko 2.24-1
   Wine's built-in replacement for Microsoft's Internet Explorer
comhack@Cerberus ~ %

Here is a section of my etc/pacman.conf;

#
# REPOSITORIES
#   - can be defined here or included from another file
#   - pacman will search repositories in the order defined here
#   - local/custom mirrors can be added here or in separate files
#   - repositories listed first will take precedence when packages
#	 have identical names, regardless of version number
#   - URLs will have $repo replaced by the name of the current repo
#   - URLs will have $arch replaced by the name of the architecture
#
# Repository entries are of the format:
#	   [repo-name]
#	   Server = ServerName
#	   Include = IncludePath
#
# The header [repo-name] is crucial - it must be present and
# uncommented to enable the repo.
#

# The testing repositories are disabled by default. To enable, uncomment the
# repo name header and Include lines. You can add preferred servers immediately
# after the header, and they will be used before the default mirrors.

#[testing]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[core]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[extra]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

#[community-testing]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[community]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

# If you want to run 32 bit applications on your x86_64 system,
# enable the multilib repositories as required here.

#[multilib-testing]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

#[multilib]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

# An example of a custom package repository.  See the pacman manpage for
# tips on creating your own repositories.
#[custom]
#SigLevel = Optional TrustAll
#Server = file:///home/custompkgs

I have been trying your command for over an hour josh;

[rejean@rejean-G41MT-S2PT ~]$ pacman -S wine

Simply uncomment the multilib line in /etc/pacman.conf

#[multilib]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

Should be:

[multilib]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

Then as root, run pacman -Syy to reload and pacman -S wine to install
