Hi Could you please tell me a way of install wine to my archos device that has linux on it. Im really have this program to install on it but not sure how to install it. http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/ This is it any suggestions would be great. Thanks very much
The device appears to have an ARM processor, not an x86 one. That means that while might be able to compile on the system, it won't be able to actually run any Windows apps as they are programmed for x86 architectures (that is, any regular desktop).

PowerPCs have the QEMU project which converts most, but not all, Intel CISC processor calls to PowerPC RISC calls. This makes running any Windows program very slow.... James McKenzie
True. Wine won't work on PPC Macs.
so its pritty much impossible to do?? you gies got any suggestion on what I can do. I need to run a small little program on there. This program only works for windows. Is there anyway I can do this? Because my device runs android on it and linux. any suggestions would be greatfull. Thanks
