Hi,

Thank you for your replies.

I read the sources at the provided links with interest.

Interestingly I have a 32-bit wine installed on my 64-bit CentOS 7 to run
32-bit Windows applications.
Of course just like the sources state I could not achieve it without relying on
third party repositories that would provide the 32-bit libraries that are
missing.
On the other hand you can install many Fedora 19 and 20 Packages without
problems because they have the same dependencies met.
That was why I read the Fedora guide to learn how I could manage to install it
or compile it on CentOS 7.
But if you try to compile source code for Fedora 22 and newer it requires
mostly newer Versions of the same libraries that are available on EL7
compatible systems which makes the intent fail.
And if you cannot compile the sources you cannot build an EL7 compatible
package.

Now I have an old 1.7.2 version of wine installed because a provider of an
inofficial EL7 Repository actually managed to build it.
But it seems that he did not update it until now to the latest version.

# wine --version
wine-1.7.21

# rpm -qi wine

Summary     : A compatibility layer for windows applications
Description :
Wine as a compatibility layer for UNIX to run Windows applications. This
package includes a program loader, which allows unmodified Windows
3.x/9x/NT binaries to run on x86 and x86_64 Unixes. Wine can use native system
.dll files if they are available.

In Fedora wine is a meta-package which will install everything needed for wine
to work smoothly. Smaller setups can be achieved by installing some of the
wine-* sub packages.

Now seeing that there are so many articles about this it is very obvious that
this is a highly requested need for the CentOS community.

I noticed that there is now a WineHQ Repository to download and update most
recent improves on the Project as source and binary Packages, which was not so
in the past which is really an big improvement of the accessibility of the
latest advances on the project.

So I thought I might make aware of this need of the CentOS community.
