Probably you need i386-wine-devel and emulators/winetricks playonbsd is a wrapper for wine. No need to use it at all, just get installer for you program, create new wineprefix and install software into it Personally, I make 1 wineprefix for 1 program (or program group ) with env WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.local/share/wineprefixes/ck2 wineboot sandbox it with winetricks if needed copy installer into $HOME/.local/share/wineprefixes/ck2/drive_c/Distr env WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.local/share/wineprefixes/ck2 wine cmd navigate to Distr and run installer ck2 is example prefix for crusader kings II. I love Paradox games :P
