wine in 64-bit arch

Are there any repositories that I can use to install wine in 64-bit arch?  I really don't want to use AUR, and don't completely understand how it works.  Also, pacman seems much cleaner.

Thank you!

Re: wine in 64-bit arch

I think your only option is bin32-wine from the AUR. Using the AUR is not as hard as it first seems. Just read the wiki entries a few times and practice with something else a bit smaller first (just to keep from waiting around while it downloads). Take a look at the PKGBUILDs and .install files and read the wiki about things to look for.

Good luck!

P.S. Installing yaourt first from AUR makes using the AUR just as clean and simple as using pacman!

Re: wine in 64-bit arch

I would highly recommend you learn to use the AUR. It's very simple, and useful (Download PKGBUILD and other files, makepkg -s and then pacman -U, same procedure for any dependencies in the AUR). Once you know how to use the AUR manually, you can get yaourt or another tool that is very similar to pacman and extends pacman in many ways, including automatic building and installing AUR packages.

However, there is a repo for bin32-wine. Replace $ARCH with i686 or x86_64.

Why not learn how AUR works? It's a far simpler solution than using externally maintained repos. ABS/AUR is very tightly integrated with pacman anyways.
EDIT: Too late :\

Re: wine in 64-bit arch

If you really want to avoid the AUR, you could always go the chroot method (I use that, but I use AUR as well, some programs just aren't in the main repos after all).

However, learning to use the AUR, especially with yaourt or a similar helper, is much easier than learning to use a chroot, so I'd recommend that, plus bin32-wine. I just don't like all those bin32 packages on my computer, so I have a chroot for 32-bit which I will delete whenever I don't need 32-bit anymore. Simple and clean.
