How To Convert Exe To Deb Link →

First, verify that your EXE runs under Wine:

wine your-application.exe

If it crashes, no DEB wrapper will save it. Fix Wine configuration first (try winecfg, install additional DLLs via winetricks).

Once it works, note the exact command that launches it. For example: how to convert exe to deb link

wine /opt/myapp/app.exe

Inside myapp_deb/usr/local/bin/, create a file named myapp:

#!/bin/bash
cd /opt/myapp
wine ./your-application.exe

Make it executable:

chmod +x myapp_deb/usr/local/bin/myapp

Create myapp_deb/DEBIAN/control with a text editor:

Package: my-windows-app
Version: 1.0
Section: utils
Priority: optional
Architecture: all
Maintainer: Your Name <you@example.com>
Depends: wine
Description: Wrapped Windows application
 This package installs example.exe and runs it via Wine.
 It is a convenience wrapper, not a native port.

A script to install Windows libraries inside Wine. First, verify that your EXE runs under Wine:

There is an experimental project called wine-pkg that automates the wrapper creation process described in Option 1. Install via:

git clone https://github.com/meebey/wine-pkg
cd wine-pkg
make
sudo make install

Then run:

wine-pkg create your-program.exe

This generates a .deb automatically.
