[Qemu-devel] qemu with recent wine snapshot?

[Wim Vanderbauwhede]

Hi,
 
I would like to use qemu to run a Win32 appliation (the Xilinx ISE tools)
under wine on my iBook G3.
I got the standard installation to work, but a wine version with a bug fix
only present in recent snapshots of wine (after dec2003). 
I tried several of these, but they're all for i586 and/or with a different
version of glibc. I tried changing the glibc for qemu as well, but with no
success. 
Could someone please make a recent wine snapshot available that works under
qemu? 
Or tell me how to build one that does? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks a lot,

Wim Vanderbauwhede

Could you not :

 1) take a recent Wine RPM on WineHQ's site
    (http://www.winehq.org/site/download)

 2) check all the 'hard' package dependencies (no idea if you can list the
    dependencies of a package of an X86 RPM on another platform like
    Linux/PPC).

 3) download from the web all the packages needed by web and install them in
    a fake directory (using, for example, 'rpm2cpio' and 'cpio'). Of course,
    this is recursive, you need then to do step 2) on all these installed
    packages.

Once this is done, you should have Wine installed + all needed libraries in
your fake directory.

Note that I never tried this method myself (as I use and develop on Wine
natively as I own an X86), but I do not see why it should not work.

I did once install plenty of stuff using rpm inside a chroot. Had to
copy a few basic tools, ld.so, /etc/ld.so.conf etc by hand and it went
almost perfectly then. Using native bash, rpm etc can save a litle
time - rpm needs --ingorearch cmd line switch or "arch_compat:" in
/etc/rpmrc

Thanks, Richard, I'm getting there. But now I get:

[wim@an-leabhar-i tests]$ qemu-i386 -L /home/ARCHS/mdk_x86
/home/ARCHS/mdk_x86/bin/ls
qemu: uncaught target signal 11 (Segmentation fault) - exiting
[wim@an-leabhar-i tests]$

I get this with every command. I'm using the latest qemu-0.5.3.

that looks like it will require some debugging. Try some statically
linked program, most distros have ash.static, sash and busybox.
Also try "strace qemu ..."

Hi Richard,

ash.static works (I can do ls, cd, pwd )
The strace output is very large, what exactly are you looking for?

perhaps some "wrong" library got into your path, grep it for open
to see which libraries are used.
