@shardul wine works! what doesnt work out-of-the-box is qemu+wine. ive read someone running qemu+wine for statically linked libraries, but things are not so easy for dinamically linked ones

The package description sums it up pretty well.

Microsoft Windows Compatibility Layer (Binary Emulator and Library)

Wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows applications on Linux.
This version of wine is built for the ARM cpu and can NOT run i386 native Windows
applications. Only ported Windows applications compiled for ARM will work.
Please see http://maemo.org/packages/view/wine/

You can't. Wine is only for x86 or x86_64 (obviously). It doesn't emulate the applications, so it can only run on hardware that can execute the applications.



Oh yes you can! Install from extras-devel repo :cool:

Read what's said. It only runs windows apps coupled with qemu (which is very slow and impractical). Though honestly at the time of my post I didn't know you could use qemu for that :D

Are there any Windows programs that have been (or can easily be) ported to ARM but not Linux (due to the difference in APIs)? If so then this could be useful. I can't think of any off the top of my head.

Thats mean wine could work on n900

EUGH. Yes. "could". You have to account for the overhead of creating an x86 overhead for your apps plus the memory needed to run them. The n900 nor any other mobile device will be able to do this at this moment in time.

Wine will work. But if you intend to run x86 windows programs then that's something different.
