wine on powerpc report

Javier Serrano Polo · Post by **Javier Serrano Polo** » Fri Jan 30, 2009 9:05 pm

Hi, list.

I know this information won't be useful to most of you. I'm getting this
error:

preloader: Warning: failed to reserve range 00010000-00110000
err:dosmem:setup_dos_mem Cannot use first megabyte for DOS address
space, please report

I'm running wine 1.0.1 on a linux powerpc box. The error doesn't affect
the applications I tried (winecfg, winemine, a flash PE binary...). Let
me know if you're interested in further details.

Bye.

To list as well:

That's not powerpc specific:

Though, there _ARE_ several bugs in the powerpc build. And you can't
run non winelib apps. Patches welcome.

Perharps I didn't explain myself clearly enough so I'll give more
details. I'm running the program loader, not winelib. It's a 32-bit x86
build, running over qemu in user mode emulation combined with native
libraries and native resources. And yes, PE binaries do work.

Bye.

Javier:

Maybe you missed what Austin was trying to tell you. There is a BUG in UBUNTU that causes the error that you describe. The FAQ answer that Austin was pointing you to is a workaround for this bug that we found with the Wine project.

Next: How are you invoking Qemu to work with Wine? I have a PowerPC as well as an Intel and would like to work through the PowerPC bugs to see if they are valid or not with the latest Wine build.

Thank you.

It looks like this is powerpc specific. It isn't a permission problem.
It's the vdso mapping. I don't think this can be fixed without a custom
kernel.

@James: Sorry, I missed your mail.

this bug that we found with the Wine project.

This wasn't the case (thanks anyway).

Next: How are you invoking Qemu to work with Wine?

binfmt-support, no extra parameters.

Just to make sure, I'm not using the official qemu. It can't use native
libraries yet.

Bye.
