“you do it a dozen times a day”
If you do it a dozen times a day, that means either you are not cut out to use CLI OR you need a Bash refresher course, BAD. :-)

One needs to learn AND remember these shortcuts, which are not exactly intuitive, IF one learns these shortcuts through repetition, see the paragraph above.

What to try ? What is the solution ?

Comment on Wine 10.0 Released – Install and Run Windows Software on Linux by ttemsk (Mikko)

Instructions for installing (building, actually) Wine 10.0 for CentOS Stream worked like charm, even for myself who is not combortable with building software from sources.

However, the dependencies installed here are only sufficient for building a 64-bit Wine, which can only run 64-bit Windows binaries. Such a build is triggered by the –enable-win64 flag to the configuration script.

Most people are likely interested to build a Wine version hosted in a 64-bit OS (such as CentOS), but capable of running both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows binaries. Such a build is triggered by a different flag:
> ./configure –enable-archs=i386,x86_64
> make

See https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/wikis/Building-Wine

Such a build requires pre-installing one more dependency, namely a compiler capable of generating PE or Portable Executables. Me and Claude Sonnet figured out that there are no suitable compilers in the CentOS or EPEL repositories. The mstorsjo/llvm-mingw project in GitHub however provides a suitable compiler collection. The steps are:

– Download a recent version of the llvm-mingw–ucrt-ubuntu-22.04-x86_64.tar.xz
(Ignore the ‘ubuntu’: that is the system used to build the library, not the target system)
– Use tar to extract contents, eg. to an /opt subdirectory
– Add the /opt//bin to $PATH
(Now the Wine config script finds the compilers)
– Launch the Wine build configure script with the –enable-archs=i386,x86_64 flag
– Launch make
