Trouble using winedbg even with the simplest exe

[mikro]

Hi,

I hope this is the right place to ask. I'm getting quite desperate of how to use wine's native debugger, winedbg. I'm trying to debug a proprietary application's bug (which demonstrates itself only in wine) but I couldn't get anything working. Soon I have realised that my problem is of a bigger scale as I can't debug basically *any* application, even the simplest Hello World (attached).

So what happens. If I run the exe (or my proprietary application) in plain 'wine', all good. However if I keep everything intact and just change 'wine' for 'winedbg', I'm unable to run it at all:

Code: Select all

$WINEPREFIX=~/wine_prefix wine ./ConsoleApplication1.exe
wine: created the configuration directory '/home/bisimuser/wine_prefix'
0050:err:ole:StdMarshalImpl_MarshalInterface Failed to create ifstub, hr 0x80004002

Hello World!
$ WINEPREFIX=~/wine_prefix winedbg ./ConsoleApplication1.exe
WineDbg starting on pid 00d0
0x000000007bc52e89 EntryPoint+0xffffffffffffffff in ntdll: ret
Wine-dbg>c
Process of pid=00d0 has terminated
Wine-dbg>

This is a log of a first-time run. 'wine' prints "Hello World!" as expected. However 'winedbg' opens an additional window (with black background and nothing printed) while getting stuck in the debugger. If I press 'c', I get only the process terminated message.

This is wine 6.0.3 from Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, clean install from scratch. I have also tried installing wine 9.x - same outcome. I've been digging through development documentation for quite some time now and I can't see anything pointing to a fact that additional setup is needed so I must be overlooking something trivial.

The application is compiled against VS2022 runtime, Windows SDK 10.0.19041.0 if it matters (but I guess not otherwise 'wine' wouldn't be able to execute it, right?)

Interestingly, if I try something built-in, like 'winedbg notepad.exe', I get it running without any problem.

Any help appreciated.

Hey guys,

I see 132 people have downloaded the zip archive. All I'm looking for here is at least a sign whether it works for you (and I'm doing something stupid and/or my distro's winegdb is somehow faulty) or whether you get the same behaviour (i.e. the opened window, no "Hello World!" message etc).
