I've recently decided to try compiling Wine for my MacBook. I followed the instructions from the original website. I already had another (Wine Devel), which I installed from Homebrew, So I deleted that. Then installed all dependencies (alongside other things). And started compiling.
First I cd /Users/<user>/Downloads/wine-9.2/wine64_build.
Then started by ../configure --enable-archs=i386,x86_64 CC="ccache gcc" CROSSCC="ccache i686-w64-mingw32-gcc" --without-v4l2 --without-wayland --without-inotify --without-udev --without-oss --without-capi --without-sane --without-gssapi
My results were huge, so i shortened it a bit:

configure: WARNING: can't build Wine preloader; many programs won't work
configure: Finished. Do 'make' to compile Wine.
I don't know what the "preloader" does exactly, but what I do know from the other install that it is the thing that runs the actual windows program. Running ./wine after make gives me-
zsh: killed ./wine.
Soo, I can't really do much after this. Help appreciated!
OK, after some research and testing. I have figured out that Wine does not compile for arm64 architecture on Mac. I figured this by first looking up the preloader_mac.c from the wine source code. After reading it through I found no mentions of arm64 or aarch64. I found only for i386 and x86_64. So I turned on Rosetta in Terminal and sure enough, after running ./configure It didn't give the warning configure: WARNING: can't build Wine preloader; many programs won't work. Although, unsurprisingly, the make command fails due to lack of equivalent x86_64 dependencies...
