ftell and Wine on Ubuntu Server

Post by Iguato »

Hello,

I am having an issue with wine and my Windows console program.

I'm trying to run my Windows Console .exe using Wine on an Ubuntu Server and everything works fine but the outputted file has a small difference compared to the outputted file using a Windows OS.

After investigating, I realised it was the ftell function inside the .exe file. Does Wine not support it properly? How can I solve this problem so that both the outputted files will be the same as the outputted file on a Windows OS?

Or is this a bug I need to submit for review?

Thank you for reading this,
Iguanto

I am new to this. Where can I file a report? Should I also send my .exe? :)

Hi,

see https://bugs.winehq.org/

A test case would be nice, so please attach your .exe to the bug report or provide a download link to it.

Hello,

I did this about 3 days ago and no reply to it. How long will it take to at least verify the bug? :)

Hi,

sometimes it takes a little bit longer until a developer picks up a bug. To illustrate the isse a bit more you could attach screenshots or text files containing the output of Windows vs. Linux to the bug report. But overall there's not much you can do to speed things up, wine has a lot of open bugs and too few developers.

kind regards,
