How to install Wine on n900 and how to use it ?
 
You have seen the topic of my thread, I just want to install wine and how to use it.

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.

Hint: When asking a question (even one that you expect no reply to), a question mark (this: ?. On a standard QWERTY keyboard, the button for is to the left of the large shift key on the right. It's activated by holding the shift key and pressing said button) is used to denote the end of the sentence, not a fullstop.

The only way to run wine on the N900 is to rum it on QMEU(?), this has been tried and tested as proof of concept, but is was RREEAAALLYY slow. The videos on youtube showed that even opening up MS NotePad was a painfully slow experience.

Wine will hang in general, and any other application to run on top of that will be practically unusable

He phrased the question as a statement correctly, even though he missed a 'know'.

I realised it was a statement after posting, but I still left my post there because it's rather irritating to see topics that look like HOWTOs but in reality are filled with ****

You shouldn't be going into devel unless you know what you are doing. If you don't know what to do with Wine in extras-devel then you probably don't need it. And this has been discussed before, if you want to know more do a search and read through the previous threads about Wine.

I saw on Youtube videos which show that Wine is indeed working on the N900.

wine is on extras-devel, but is almost useless without a qemu layer, thats the only-for-experts part that doesnt work well, and wine is useless (for mortals) without qemu
