Wine bug fixed finally, can again run AgOpenGPS under Wine on Linux

Just for info, there is a project called box86 (or box64 for 64 bit version), which allows to run x86 (or amd64) instructions on ARM device for example. Together with running x86 Wine, you can run Windows application on Arm Linux. Unlike Qemu it does not emulate whole system, but uses native libraries where possible, so the performance is pretty good (check youtube). Because AOG uses OpenGL, which might not be supported on ARM devices, using another software for translating OpenGL calls to OpenGL ES, like GL4ES, might be required.

I tried AOG on TwisterOS, which has x86 Wine and Box86 preinstalled. Unfortunately it has still old Wine version by default so I manually replaced Wine by newer version, but AOG did not work for me.

But the future looks promising (if AOG compatible with Mono and GL ES will not arrive sooner).
