Howto install wine without exagear?

[WCHD]

Hi! I just installed my Raspberry Pi. I want to download BitDefender, but it is an .exe file. Wine needs ExaGear to run on RPi, but ExaGear is too expensive. How do I install Bitdefender without wine and without exagear?

Use Pi386, a free x86 chroot environment, already set up and ready to use.

A couple of people have reported issues with the custom kernel (with the 3G/1G memory split required to use WINE). To avoid kernel errors, use Eltechs' WINE 2G/2G version instead (it might be from Eltechs, but the custom WINE build doesn't cost anything).

I'm planning on releasing an update soon with the following features:

*Ubuntu 16.04 environment

*Sync with home folder

*Beta Debian Buster environment

Known issues:

*Does not emulate SSE2 support, so apps that require SSE2 will fail.

*Getting a segfault when running an app? The app probably requires SSE2.

*The kernel package includes no kernel modules, meaning that your Pi system may perform poorly if it works at all. The solution is to use the Eltechs WINE 3.0 build, which is available on Launchpad. This build does not require use of the custom kernel.

When I go into my terminal, it tells me I need 3 packages. When I went to Install Software, it told me to download about a thousand packages. Is there any other way?

Why do you want to run BitDefender ?

That may be an understatement. As mentioned in that thread, your package is unlikely to work on anybody's system except for your own because you neglected to include the custom kernel's corresponding modules (under /lib/modules). Please fix that. You don't need to rebuild everything, just provide the missing files.

Wine needs ExaGear to run on RPi, but ExaGear is too expensive.

The most straightforward way to get Wine-x86 on the Pi is to download mikerr's image and put it on a new SD card. However, Wine may not do want you want here because...

How do I install Bitdefender

Along rpiMike's point, installing BitDefender for Windows won't protect you against malware on the Pi. It'll only protect a Windows guest operating system. If you really want that you'll have to install it on Exagear, because qemu alone is too slow to run even Windows XP on the Pi.

There is not point installing BitDifender on Linux using wine.Linux works differently that windows. BitDifender for windows protects your computers from viruses made for windows NOT linux. So, yeah. This is a waste of time

[mahjongg]

Even when an RPI would use an X86 CPU bitdefender would not work, because its not windows, case in point, Linux would just lock bitdefender out

locking this nonsensical thread.

P.S. the only case where bit defender would do some good is to scan files meant for windows, not for linux, but it would need a complete windows and X86 emulator, and that would make it impossibly slow.
