Box86 with Wine on Android

 


Hello friends, In this blog we will see how we can install box86 with wine on Android without Root.


Box86 is a emulator to run x86 apps on arm system, and we can also use wine with it and with combination of both we will be able to run windows apps (.exe) in it.


Prerequisite :

Termux

Must have 32 bit arch, if you have 64 bit click here to change it to 32 bit


Any linux distro installed like debian, kali or Ubuntu.


Installation :

As I said you need to have any linux distro installed, Here I will be doing this on ubuntu 22 with xfce desktop.

So first you need to login to your linux distro


proot-distro login ubuntu

Command may be different if you are using different linux distro.


Next we have to install some dependencies


sudo apt update ; sudo apt install python3 gcc build-essential cmake git wget -y


Once the dependencies are installed then, clone box86 and change directory to it


cd ~ ; git clone https://github.com/ptitSeb/box86 ; cd box86


Now its time to compile box86 


mkdir build; cd build; cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo ; make ; sudo make install


Once the above process finished, the we need to get wine


mkdir ~/wine ; wget https://www.playonlinux.com/wine/binaries/phoenicis/upstream-linux-x86/PlayOnLinux-wine-7.0-rc5-upstream-linux-x86.tar.gz ; tar -xvf  PlayOnLinux-wine-7.0-rc5-upstream-linux-x86.tar.gz -C ~/wine/ ; echo "export BOX86_PATH=~/wine/bin/

export BOX86_LD_LIBRARY_PATH=~/wine/lib/

export BOX86_LOG=1" >> ~/.bashrc


And thats it, just relogin to your distro and start using it, for example : running winrar


box86 wine winrar.exe
