Running x86 software
#13
(08-29-2020, 06:23 AM)brzegorz Wrote: I've compiled box86 on Manjaro and I've been able to run x86 vim through it. Basic instructions:

- install docker(Arch wiki is your friend)
- use this image as base: https://hub.docker.com/r/arm32v7/debian/
- inside the Debian container, install the dependencies and compile box86(https://github.com/ptitSeb/box86)
- add i386 to apt's architecture list(https://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/HOWTO)
- install i386 vim(apt install vim:i386)
- run it: "<BOX86_PATH>/box86 vim"

I've been also able to install i386 wine from https://wiki.winehq.org/Debian, I had to install some dependencies from .deb packages because they weren't in Debian's repositories. My goal was to mess with old Windows games(box86 has a video of Neverwinter Nights running), but then I've managed to loss my progress and I have a thesis to write; ). Next step would be to get X11 running with debian's docker, run something like "box86 wine notepad", and then move on to trying games. It seems like just using Debian would be a more straightforward way, but I don't want to lose AUR with such limited binary package selection.
It would be best if you could write this all into a Dockerfile, making it easier for all others (and hopefully yourself as well) to re-build a new docker image
