Building Wine / MoltenVK problems on macOS (arm64)

Post by user55 »

Hej, currently trying build wine on my macOS 15.5 (arm64). After building (under rosetta 2)

Code: Select all

../configure --build=x86_64-apple-darwin --enable-archs=x86_64 --disable-tests --enable-win64
Installing n running, giving me:

Code: Select all

err:vulkan:vulkan_init_once Failed to load libMoltenVK.dylib
wine: Unhandled page fault on write access to 000000014001EB38 at address 00006FFFFFC350F8 (thread 0068), starting debugger...
err:service:process_send_start_message service L"Winedevice1" failed to start
Tried installing MoltenVK through brew, macports, building from source and linking from other wine builds versions (LDFLAGS), nothing helps.
I can provide config.log file if needed.
Maybe someone knows how to do it right? Thank u :shock:

okey, i managed to make MoltenVK work (maybe i linked non-universal lib, although i checked it every time by

Code: Select all

lipo -info
, idk what was the reason)

However wine still doesnt work and gives me this -

Code: Select all

 wine: Unhandled page fault on write access to 000000014001EB38 at address 00006FFFFFC350F8 (thread 0068), starting debugger...
did some research n found this topic viewtopic.php?t=36177

Hi, problem is not related on the apps that i trying to run (winecfg doesnt run either), problem with my build.
Yesterday i launched wine with debug options: +seh,+warn, and on dispatch_exception giving me EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION, i am attaching a link to log file with comparison.

I realized that this was a problem with 10.0 (stable) version, after applying two patches from newer version of wine, that i grab from gcenx repo, wine started working!
And i forget pass i386 option in -enable-archs, that causing problems with 32-bit dlls compatibility. :shock:
