wine is a program that converts win32 executables into programs that can run natively on *nix systems. This is very awesome, and enables you to use software that would otherwise be unavailable to you (such as MS office, games, etc).
As a user-friendly alternative to managing wine directly (managing multiple wine versions, prefixes etc) a program called playonlinux was created to wrap around it. It is very convenient.

Install
Archlinux
Installing wine from the repo
packer -S wine cower -d lib32-libwbclientCompiling the most recent version of wine.
pacman -S gcc-multilib mkdir ~/.wine git clone git://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git wine-git configure make make depends make install
WARNING:
WoW64 support in wine is still being ironed out. Stick with separate 32 and 64 bit prefixes.
Usage
Running Commands
env WINEPREFIX=/home/will/.wine/office wine /path/to/office.exe env WINEPREFIX=/home/will/.wine/office msiexec /path/to/office.msi env WINEPREFIX=/home/will/.wine/office wineconsole cmd # opens cmd.exe, then run your .bat or .cmd scriptsCross Compilation
Firstly, use mingw if you can. It is supported much more natively than msvc under linux.

Configuration
Prefixes
Wine allows you to create separate containers for wine installations. (each representing a different windows system). Each one of these containers is called a wine prefix. You are encouraged to create a separate wine prefix for each program.
## Creating a wine prefix ## ## do not create the directories you want for your wine setup, let winecfg do that for you. WINEARCH=win64 WINEPREFIX=/home/will/.wine/x64 winecfg WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=/home/will/.wine/x86 winecfg ## Running Wine Programs with a particular Wine Prefix export WINEPREFIX="<path to a writable folder on your home directory>" export WINEARCH="win32" wine /path/to/office_cd/setup.exe
