Can't reproduce working debian build

[mbid]

I'm trying to build wine myself to run World of Warcraft Classic. The game is running fine on the wine-staging version of wine I got from winehq's debian repository, but when I try to run the game with my own build of wine it won't display anything at all, it just opens a transparent window. Is there anything special going on with the winehq builds?

I've followed the instructions https://wiki.winehq.org/Building_Wine for the Shared WoW64 build of wine: I built the 64bit version, then the 32bit version for the win32 tools and finally the win32 build pointing to the 64bit directory. The battle.net app runs fine on my wine build, so I don't think I screwed it up completely. I used commit 4cdb7ec8291c1, which is supposed to be Release 5.6, same as the wine-staging version.

I've been told that World of Warcraft is a 64bit executable, so maybe the 32bit build isn't even necessary. I didn't customize my wineprefix in any way, I just installed the battle.net app and then World of Warcraft.

If I compare the stderr output of wine-staging and my own build when I try to run World of Warcraft, what sticks out are these two lines from my own build that don't show up in the wine-staging version:

Code: Select all

000b:err:seh:setup_exception stack overflow 1616 bytes in thread 000b eip 000000007bc4ad65 esp 0000000000130fc0 stack 0x130000-0x131000-0x230000
...
0009:err:seh:setup_exception stack overflow 2784 bytes in thread 0009 eip 000000007bcbb325 esp 0000000000130b30 stack 0x130000-0x131000-0x230000

I can post the complete output if necessary, but the other lines appear the same save for some addresses.

I also tried to reproduce the debian build directly, with

Code: Select all

apt source wine-staging

following roughly https://wiki.debian.org/BuildingTutorial, but I get the same error.

The WineHQ Debian and Ubuntu packages are built with DEB_CFLAGS_MAINT_STRIP = -fstack-protector-strong to work around https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=48161.

Just checking but you are aware that staging is a separate set of patches that have to be applied to the wine source?

https://wiki.winehq.org/Wine-Staging

Thanks, I didn't know about either of those. Unfortunately it's still not working. I configure with

Code: Select all

configure --enable-win64 CFLAGS='-fstack-protector-strong -fcf-protection=full'
 

now and build with

Code: Select all

make -j6

does that look right?

I've tried running the game with wine-devel from the debian repo, which doesn't work. So there's no way I was going to succeed without applying the patches from wine staging. I've applied all patches from wine staging 76900de5bb, which is Release v5.6, to my wine source now. I suppose the debian package includes all patches, too? There's also a Release v5.6.1, not sure which one to use.

Maybe I'm missing some build dependency. I'm building in a clean docker container in which I've installed

Code: Select all

apt-get --yes build-dep wine-staging
apt-get --yes install libvulkan-dev libvkd3d-dev

Configure tells me

Code: Select all

configure: MinGW compiler not found, cross-compiling PE files won't be supported.
configure: libva 64-bit development files not found, GPU video acceleration won't be supported.
configure: libhal 64-bit development files not found, no legacy dynamic device support.
configure: OSS sound system found but too old (OSSv4 needed), OSS won't be supported.
configure: libFAudio 64-bit development files not found, XAudio2 won't be supported.
configure: libgcrypt 64-bit development files not found, GCRYPT won't be supported.

are those relevant?

When running the game with the two versions, I noticed that the working version from winehq produces more output than mine:

Code: Select all

configure --enable-win64 CFLAGS='-fstack-protector-strong -fcf-protection=full'
 

That's the opposite of what the CFLAGS should be; you need -fno-stack-protector and possibly -fcf-protection=none. The issue in bug 48161 is that fstack-protector-strong is baked into Debian's gcc and has to be actively stripped out--that's what DEB_CFLAGS_MAINT_STRIP does in packaging. Ubuntu 19.10 and later has a similar issue with -fcf-protection=full, but AFAIK that's not an issue with Debian.

The WineHQ packages are built without OSS or libhal, but with the others.

wine-staging-5.6.1 was to fix a build issue on macOS so can be ignored.

Thanks everybody, I got it to work now! In addition to the build dependencies for debian's wine-staging, I installed

Code: Select all

libvulkan-dev libvkd3d-dev mingw-w64 libva-dev libgcrypt20-dev

now. I don't know which package I need for libFAudio, but it works without it for me.

Curious: Shouldn't those additional dependencies be added to the Build-Depends of the debian packages? It also seems like I get the source for wine-devel if I run apt source wine-staging, is this expected?

[Gcenx]

You really want FAudio it’s really easy to compile from source, the basic requirement is SDL2 cmake 3.1.3 (C99), for wma audio decoding you also need ffmpeg

mbid, could you tell me what you typed in terminal or other things you did to fix it? Thanks.
