    Running on wine raspberry64?

    in VarAC discussion forum

    I heard this app runs in wine but a simple dump the directory to the c drive isn’t loading it well. Vara modems work fine, varaac will load the modem and I see the window load full of visual objects and it will dump out after that - rather verbose on the console

    is there a trick or documentation I missed for operations on Linux/wine

    seems to function! to make this work is not too difficult. I assume this will work on 32bitDebian (had a report of no) I do run in 64bit mode bullseye RPi4 fully updated to the day of this post. the very nice Build-A-Pi project is also used to load ham software. There are some nice tools for ham radio included in this project.

    after you know vara and wine work on your system


    you can download the VarAC binary bits into the

    ~/.wine/drive_c/VarAC directory

    (see the prior post in this thread screenshot of the terminal text as well for success on run)


    launch varac with the following command you can use in a menu.desktop object


    env WINEDEBUG=-all wine /home/pi/.wine/drive_c/VarAC/VarAC.exe


    I had to launch a few times and get the settings saved and working but it did work with no major issues! using a IC-705.


    now to learn how to QSO with the app ;)

    Hi Kelly

    Thanks for the update.

    If you happen to run it correctly, I can also send you a version that will fix he messy icons (they are emojis)... I have replaced them with normal ASCII characters for those who cant use it. But as the guy I shared his post with you did, you maybe able to sort this also on your end.


    And a kind request, will you be so kind to document the process so the entire community can enjoy the fruits of your work ? I will of course provide you with credits.


    thank you for your persistency and 73s!
