[Qemu-devel] qemu3.0.0: Linux on non x86 CPUs run Wine

[Qemu-devel] qemu3.0.0: Linux on non x86 CPUs run Wine

[wj193102]

Hi, everyone.
    When I have installed the QEMU3.0.0 in the Linux on non X86 CPUS, I want to use user space emulator to run Wine. I can get the source code for Wine and the RPM file for Wine from the WineHQ web page.
I used to compile Wine in the X86-based Linux system and used it to run most Win32 programs. Now I want to  use it on the non X86 CPUS by QEMU. But I can't get the function to install and use the Wine. Please give me some advice
or some functions to finish it. Thanks a lot.
   Meanwhile, I use the command "qemu-i386/qemu-x86_64 *.sh" to run the application from the X86 CPUS on non X86 CPUS, I get the error information:"Invalid ELF image for this architecture". Why the error is comming? What can I 
do to resolve this problem?


--Thanks

I'm afraid you will need to provide more detail for us to
help here. What exactly are you doing? Which commands are you
running? What is the exact error message or failure you see?

This is probably because you are trying to run a shell script.
(I'm guessing this from the '.sh' extension). This won't work.
QEMU only runs actual executables (ELF files).

Usually the setup is that the host Linux system is set up
with binfmt-misc, so that if it encounters a guest-architecture
binary it will automatically run it under QEMU. Usually
this is done to allow running guest binaries inside a chroot.

I have installed the Wine in Linux(fedora) on the X86 CPUs from the source code. Can I copy the related file of Wine from the Linux on X86 CPUs to the Linux on the non X86 CPUS for running the command "wine" or "winecfg".

That is my fault. I don't run the *.sh file. I copy the file "/bin/ls" from the Linux on x86 CPUs to the Linux on non X86 CPUs. I put the file in the new created directory, such as "/home/admin/user/test/".
Then I run the executable file,using "qemu-i386 ./ls", I get the following error: "./ls: error while loading shared libraries: libselinux.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory."
How can I resolve this  problem?

This is because you need not just the guest executable, but
all the DLLs, data files and other things it requires.
The easiest way to set this up is to use a chroot. There
should be some tutorials on the web that you can look for
to tell you how to set this up.
