Any way to use eac3to.exe with Wine?

[beerninja]

****SOLVED 10-25-24, see bottom post*****

I'm trying to run UsEac3to.exe with wine and I keep getting the error "not supported on this system". Anyone know any way to get it to work? I'm use wine64, for some reason 32 bit wine is not allowing me to install it even after wine purge.

The GUI launches with wine but eac3to.exe won't run so it can't actually perform any actions...

thanks

try this -
eac3to under Wine
eac3to is a command-line tool primarily used to create audio tracks. To run eac3to under Wine, you’ll need to follow these steps:

Install Wine: Ensure you have Wine installed on your system. You can check the Wine Application Database for compatibility information and installation guides.
Set up Wine environment: Create a Wine prefix (e.g., WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wine-32) and set the architecture to win32 (e.g., WINEARCH='win32') to mimic a 32-bit Windows environment.
Run eac3to: Use the following command to launch eac3to under Wine:
WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wine-32 WINEARCH='win32' wine eac3to.exe -test

This command will run the pretty UI and allow you to convert, decode, and encode audio files.

You may be better off using PlayOnLinux, it's a GUI front end for wine and will juggle different wine versions for you.

I looked at the entry in the wine app database and the results are very old, too much so to be useful.

Remember that Wine is actually very unreliable by its very nature, it's just a flawed idea. Most apps don't work properly or at all.

You might have more luck in the Wine forum. There aren't that many Linux users here.

Hi

Can we know what is the specific function in eac3to that you want to use?

What distro? On debian I have both installed and eac3to runs. If it's debian based do dpkg --add-archictecture i386 and apt-get install wine wine:i386. Then run a 64 bit program first (virtualdub64 will do) so it defaults to a wow64 setup This also allows me to run avspmod in 64 but mode but also dgindex and hcenc in 32 bit with the matching libs. The cli version works, haven't tried the GUI.

Thanks everyone. Turns out I was stuck on wine5.0 instead of wine9.0 because wine-installer was pointing to the incorrect winehq repository for my distro. So I manually changed repository, purged wine, and reinstalled and now I get wine 9.0 and UsEac3to works perfectly.
