The PCBSD project has done some work getting wine running on 64 bit systems - I use the wine64 PBI on the 64 bit version of PCBSD9 that I use. I'll quote from the 64 bit PBI package description: (This Wine PBI is specifically designed for 64-bit systems) Wine is a Microsoft Windows compatibility layer (or program loader) capable of running Windows applications on i386 and compatible CPUs. Windows programs running in Wine act as native programs would, running without the performance or memory usage penalties of an emulator, with a similar look and feel to other applications on your desktop. Many applications already work, more or less, including versions of Microsoft Office and several games. I have no idea if this will be of use for scientific applications. I don't know if the version of wine hosted is 32 bit or 64 bit. I use it to run the latest version of a windows application, which I think, but do know know, is a 32 bit application and is not a scientific application -- View this message in context: http://freebsd.1045724.n5.nabble.com/64-bit-Linux-status-tp5679327p5707985.html Sent from the freebsd-emulation mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
