Hi,
Has anyone had any success installing Sailwave on a Chromebook using the Crossover App? My experience of trying to install it leads to a Crash with a message that it has encountered a serious problem and needs to close.
I’d be grateful to hear from anyone who’s had success.
Cheers
Jon
Hi Jon,
Interesting question and look forward to hearing from others. I
do not have access to a Chromebook to try anything out.
Depending on how techy you are you might like to take a look at
an alternative way
[]
which would allow you to install WINE. Sailwave runs well on Linux
systems using WINE; the latest version of Sailwave v2-28-1
requires a minimum of WINE version 3.x. This has has been tested
by myself on:
openSUSE Tumbleweed [rolling distribution] with WINE currently
Kind regards,
Huw

Hi Jon,
Interesting Sailwave runs on crossover on a Mac fine. I understand that there is free support by crossover on the chrome book. So it may be worth contacting them.

Hi Huw & Jon,
I’m pleased to say that with some help from the Techs at Crossover I got the latest version of Sailwave running on my Chromebook. If anyone else wants any help I have the Archive for installing into Crossover that makes the setup easy.
All the best
Jon
Hi Jon,
Well done in persevering with this. The following came out a few
days ago which might make things easier and end also allow useo f
WINE instead of buying Crossover.
For my archives I would be interested in the steps you had to
take.
Kind regards,
Huw

Jon,
Like Huw I would like to see how you achieved this. I’m always on the lookout for solutions for my club.
Thanks in anticipation.

Hi Jon,
Thanks for the update. I would be interested to see it.
For anyone reading this - I think it is important to point out this is only for Chromebooks based on the Intel processors.
Many Chromebooks including the one I have are Arm based.

Hi,
I can’t claim any great skill in this department. I downloaded the Crossover Beta (it says ‘trial’ and is currently free but I’m sure once they are happy with it there’ll be a charge) and installed it. I was unsuccessful in installing the Sailwave exe file so reached out to the the tech support who responded in a couple of days with an ‘archive’ that they’d created that I could install into my copy of Crossover. And it works! I’ve updated the PY numbers and am good to go.
The email from Ryan at Crossover reads:
Hello Jon,
Thank you for reaching out to us. I’m not sure as to why the Sailwave .exe will not work in crossover for chrome. I installed this application in crossover on my Mac without issue. Since i could not get it to install in crossover or chrome, i created an archive bottle of my install on the mac and brought it over to my Chromebook and it seem to work. However i cannot a test to its full functionality. Please note we will not be able to address any bugs with this application running in crossover at this time.
You can download my archive from here on your chromebook.
https://www.codeweavers.com/xf er/support2/support3/Sailwave. cxarchive
the unlock code is install
See here on how to import an archive - https://www.codeweavers.com/su pport/wiki/chromeos/restorebot tlearchive
Hope this helps.
Regards,
CodeWeavers Support.
I hope that helps others who may want to go this route. As Huw mentioned there is the possibility of open Linux on the Chromebook but I’m not savy in Linux, I had a look at installing Wine that way but got lost and deleted it.
Sailwave works very well on a Mac using Wine Bottler. But my Mac was stolen (!@£$%^&*) hence pursuing the Chromebook route (couldn’t afford a new Mac and have an aversion to Windows).
All the best
Jon
I’m a Linux and Windows user but until this moment I just installed SW on a Windows laptop. Just for curiosity, I typed zypper in wine in my Opensuse Tumbleweed, downloaded the SW binary, installed it in Next, Next, Finish mode, ran it without issues, loaded a score file and I can publish it successfully. It was quite easy.
Crossover is just a Wine fork. Looks polished but it’s paid. If you don’t need support, it is not necessary to buy Crossover just to run SW, since both have the same restrictions over ARM based devices.

Hi Heitor,
I have been running Sailwave on my openSuse Tumbleweed system
for several years now. Note - if you ever need to upload the
results of a regatta to World Sailing, there is an extra bit of
WINE configuration needed.
Kind regards,
Huw

Thank you Heitor,
I’ll have a look at the link for when CrossOver start to charge. In the mean time your first paragraph may as well have been in Finnish, but this is my problem not yours 
All the best

I just thought I’d post how easy this was.
I have a relatively new Chromebook (my second the last was out of updates and then the screen blew - 6 years old £150…). Newer one supports as I think they are all intel pro which is the crucial bit.
I’d already enabled linux on it (google for a tutorial) - don’t recall the steps but fairly easy.
Download the sailwave file and copy it to the linux folders
Open linux terminal
$ sudo apt-get install wine
$ sudo
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install wine32
$ wine sw*.exe
(should install the sailwave)
$ wine “C:\Program File\Sailwave\Sailwave.exe”
Thats it! If your club needs a system - <£200 can sort them a laptop that runs this.
Doesn’t seem to like publishing to browser, but will save to a file and open it. Publish to blog errors but DOES copy to clipboard.
When I get to the “install wine32” step, I get:
Package wine32 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
Help?
Welcome to the Sailwave User Group.
What sort of Chromebook do you have? Sailwave will only run using WINE on Intel x86 based CPU. It will not run on on Chromebooks that use ARM CPU.
I have not installed Sailwave on a Chromebook as I do not have one, but others have and I am sure they will respond to your request for help.
Kind regards,
Huw
Hi,
I had it running on my Chromebook a But more than a year ago, but it inadvertently got wiped, which was a bit of a pain, and I’ve been unable to get it back on. I get the same message you’re seeing. I’m interested to see if someone else has the answer…
Jon
It could be that the wine32 package is not available on the specified software sources (Official Repositories). It may be available in an Additional Repository, which you could could specify in Software Sources.
Anyone know of a suitable Repository?

It’s a Google Pixelbook, and uses a 7th Gen Intel Core processor
I will have a look later. But have you tried just ‘wine’
