Compiled Wine forwards to local Wine

[Sworddragon]

On my system (Ubuntu 14.10 dev x86_64) there is currently Wine 1.7.24 from a ppa installed and I'm also sometimes compiling Wine from the current git and using it. But currently I'm noticing some strange issues. First here is my current Wine setup:

Code: Select all

sworddragon@ubuntu:~$ /usr/bin/wine --version
wine-1.7.24
sworddragon@ubuntu:~$ WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-git /usr/local/wine-git/wine64 --version
wine-1.7.25

Now I'm renaming the local installed wine executable as this makes it easier to see the issue:

Code: Select all

sworddragon@ubuntu:~$ sudo mv /usr/bin/wine /usr/bin/wine_tmp

Now a normal and a more direct test with wine-git to check if it works:

Code: Select all

sworddragon@ubuntu:~$ WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-git /usr/local/wine-git/wine64 winecfg && echo $?
0
sworddragon@ubuntu:~$ WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-git /usr/local/wine-git/loader/wine64 winecfg && echo $?
0

winecfg has successfully appeared and showed me in "About" version 1.7.25. But if I'm trying to execute some other application the problem appears:

Code: Select all

sworddragon@ubuntu:~$ WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-git /usr/local/wine-git/wine64 '/wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Guild Wars 2/Gw2.exe'
/usr/bin/wine: could not open
sworddragon@ubuntu:~$ WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-git /usr/local/wine-git/loader/wine64 '/wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Guild Wars 2/Gw2.exe'
/usr/bin/wine: could not open

For some reason the wine-git executable forwards to the local installed Wine executable. If I wouldn't have renamed the local installed Wine executable I would get logically a version mismatch:

Code: Select all

sworddragon@ubuntu:~$ sudo mv /usr/bin/wine_tmp /usr/bin/wine    
sworddragon@ubuntu:~$ WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-git /usr/local/wine-git/wine64 '/wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Guild Wars 2/Gw2.exe'
wine client error:0: version mismatch 457/456.
Your wine binary was not upgraded correctly,
or you have an older one somewhere in your PATH.
Or maybe the wrong wineserver is still running?
sworddragon@ubuntu:~$ WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-git /usr/local/wine-git/loader/wine64 '/wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Guild Wars 2/Gw2.exe'
wine client error:0: version mismatch 457/456.

Has somebody an idea why this issue happens and how to solve it?

The wineprefix you set in the command (~/.wine-git) is not the wineprefix where the app you are trying to run is installed (/wine). You also appear to be trying to run a 32 bit app with pure 64 bit Wine. Neither of those things are going to work.

The wineprefix you set in the command (~/.wine-git) is not the wineprefix where the app you are trying to run is installed (/wine).

This is wanted on my system as I prefer applications to not be installed in the users directory. Also "~/.wine-git/drive_c/Program Files" is a symlink to "/wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)".

You also appear to be trying to run a 32 bit app with pure 64 bit Wine.

Both assumptions are correct but I was successfully able to run 32 bit applications with this constellation in the past. Or is it normal that a 64 bit Wine tries automatically to forward to a 32 bit Wine if a 32 bit application is started? This would mean that I was running all the time applications with a 64 bit wineserver from the git and a 32 bit wineclient with the local installed Wine from the ppa and that I was just lucky that there was no version mismatch until today. Or am I wrong with this assumption?
