No printers available conundrum

Post by adamAC »

Hi All,

I have built Wine myself for macOS (on High Sierra) but running the build afterwards does not detect any printers on my Mac. Any ideas?

From what I have read, it should apparently "just work". There doesn't appear to be anything special that needs configuring during the build, and there doesn't appear to be anything special needed. So any help anyone could share on this would be very helpful.

If I use a pre-built version of Wine from WineHQ then printers ARE available. So there is something obviously different in what I am building, even if I build the same source.

Thanks.

I am running Wine v4.0.4, which I have built myself, by the way. Built on High Sierra and ran on High Sierra.

I have tried rebuilding Wine with the same configuration as stated on https://github.com/Gcenx/macOS_Wine_builds, but still no printers appear. Running "WINEDEBUG=+spool" states it finds zero printers, even though they are there on the Mac.

Running Gcenx build of v5.0.1 shows the printers.

What other potential reasons might the printers not appear?

So.....a little further. It seems Wine is failing to load libcups.2.dylib, even though it is present in /usr/lib/.

In my Wine launch script I have:
export DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH=“/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib:/opt/X11/lib:${dir}/../Resources/wine-home/usr/lib64”
The file is definitely there. The error is:
dlopen(libcups.2.dylib, 258): image not found
Anyone any ideas?

Not sure why your build isn’t working correctly when it should.

Here’s roughly what I set with WineskinLauncher

Code: Select all

/opt/local/lib:%@/wine/lib:%@/wine/lib64:/usr/local/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/libexec:/usr/lib/system:/opt/X11/lib
Resolve %@ with your PATH to wine.

The possible reason cups won’t load is due to it needing an additional dylib that’s not listed within your configured DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH export

It is puzzling for me too :? I have used the same build configuration options that you have, which builds fine, eventually.

That is different to what I have in my launcher script but both contain the path for libcups.2.dylib.

I did think of that but apparently you receive a different error message if the additional lib is missing or wrong.

I copied libcups.2.dylib to the lib64 folder in Wine and that now loads successfully. However, the printers still don't appear in Wine.

Here is the output:

Even though it finds 2 printers via CUPS_LoadPrinters it is only showing one of them here. The other is a PDF printer.

Why is WINSPOOL_EnumPrintersW not finding any printers?

I am going to delve deeper in to the Wine source tomorrow to see if I can figure out what the smeg is going on.

If I run your v5.0.1 build then all this is outputted:

So as your build works there must be something different with my build so I need to track down what it is.

If you mean builds with my options takes longer, yeah it will take a good while as I build with almost everything possible.
adamAC wrote: Wed Aug 12, 2020 11:40 am That is different to what I have in my launcher script but both contain the path for libcups.2.dylib.
Hum your using a bash script, that could be what’s causing you issues due to SIP stripping some environment variables.

Try running your application with wine compilation via terminal directly without using any scripts.
adamAC wrote: Wed Aug 12, 2020 11:40 am I did think of that but apparently you receive a different error message if the additional lib is missing or wrong.
Usually it explains why it couldn’t load the dylib but sometimes I’ve found didn’t explain anything...

I’d expect my configuration to be different as it’s evolved over time, the posted example isn’t the current export I’m using but I’m not near my system so that was the closest I could manage on mobile.
adamAC wrote: Wed Aug 12, 2020 11:40 am I copied libcups.2.dylib to the lib64 folder in Wine and that now loads successfully. However, the printers still don't appear in Wine.
Placing a system dylib into lib64 is bad, you can’t ship Apple libraries with an application.

But as you said it still didn’t work anyway, I’d think that SIP stripping is causing you issues.
adamAC wrote: Wed Aug 12, 2020 11:40 am Even though it finds 2 printers via CUPS_LoadPrinters it is only showing one of them here. The other is a PDF printer.

Why is WINSPOOL_EnumPrintersW not finding any printers?

I am going to delve deeper in to the Wine source tomorrow to see if I can figure out what the smeg is going on.
See my above comment about SIP stripping.

There must be but I’m not seeing what could be so different to cause these issues your having.


Edit;
Does Wine-5.14 also find printers?

I needed to install various additional libs to get it to successfully build using your exact build config options. I did spot there was one specifically for "cups" so I tried that sole addition to my existing build but it still didn't work so I went ahead and got the full build going but even that didn't work. :oops:

If you could post me your current build config options then that would be great, and I will give that a try.

This was just a test to see if it would work, and it did. So for some reason it won't load it from /usr/lib/ but I have no idea why. Both of those locations are present in the path in my launcher script so it is puzzling why it works in one but not the other.

I will download that source tomorrow and try building it using your updated build config options. Then I will give that a try too.

Presumably you are SIP stripping too with your builds?

Ah yes I do use all possible libraries when compiling wine so it’s feature rich, I don’t commonly build all the gstreamer1 plugins as that really get irritating.

I’m not really sure, maybe you could attach one of your wine compiles and share a link.

I was more wondering if it hit worked on the recent releases as wine from 5.8 become a cluster to put it mildly.

SIP stripping doesn’t affect my intern version or the current beta releases, bash scripts not used for primary launches.

Some wrappers scripts are currently used for winetricks comparability but I’ll also be replacing those with binary wrappers.

So, I have just ran this directly from the build folder by just running "./wine64 notepad.exe", and the printers DO appear! :D

So I think you are right about the SIP stripping. Any ideas on how to solve this? :?

I have managed to get the printers to appear! :o

I poked around in the Wine source code to see what was happening, and the reason it was failing was because the TEMP path set in the prefix registry was an invalid location. So, I corrected this and the printers started working.

I still have the problem that it isn't loading libcups from the correct location so I will look further in to that now.

SIP stripping is a complete PITA and caused me no end of frustration.

To avoid this you need to create a binary wrapper not a bash script that launches wine(64/32on64) that seta the needed env & DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH set.

If the intention is to release a product to end users not just some internal application then the resulting app bundle will need to be code-signed & notarized with the entitlement to allow DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH

I already have this. One of my colleagues used Automator to convert the launch script to a binary wrapper. That solved some of our permission issues on Catalina.

I have also maintained the existing launch script which I run from a Terminal so I can see the output and set WINEDEBUG accordingly.

For this printing issue I have always ran the launch script so I will try running the application normally via the binary wrapper to see if that solves this conundrum of not finding the libcups library.

The intention IS to release this as a product to end users.

I was under the impression that we could NOT sign or notarize a Wine app as the contents change on every launch of the application. Although, one of my colleagues has discovered today that you can sign parts of the Wine app, which is apparently acceptable by Apple. Personally, I have not looked in to this in any depth. Do you have any advice on how to achieve this?

Many thanks for all your help, by the way.

I believe Automator wraps the shell script, that’s something I want to avoid when possible.

I’d also read this yet the so-called “guides” were all outdated, so it might be possible but I’m not sure on possible steps.

A much safer alternative is on first launch copy the embedded wineprefix into a user controlled location and always use that over the embedded wineprefix.

Having a signed & notarized self modifying application could become a security risk

Has anyone been able to get their printers to display?

I tried creating a binary app by compiling my script via the shell script compiler (shc) and I also created a Applescript app. Neither worked. Printers only appear when I start the app from the Terminal.

I got them working but it was back in August that I did so my memory is a bit hazy. Also, I wasn't the only person looking in to this at my work.

As I recall, we had to use Automator to trick macOS in to thinking our app was not a script. We also needed to update the info.plist file to have the correct info in. Both of those items were handled by someone else. But even after that we still had issues which turned out to be Wine failing to load the printer library, as we were building Wine ourselves. That was the bit I resolved.

I hope this helps a little. Sorry I can't be more descriptive.
