Help testing regression

mildred · Post by **mildred** » Mon Jul 27, 2009 4:26 pm

Hi,

I need help to find the commit when a regression happened: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18436

I know git, and I can run git bisect just fine. Wine compiles (even if I have to patch version 1.0 since freetype changed). But when I try to install my application or run it using the built wine, I got a problem.

the WINEPREFIX is an empty directory at the start, and when I run setup.exe, I just get:

Code: Select all

ALSA lib seq_hw.c:457:(snd_seq_hw_open) open /dev/snd/seq failed: No such file or directory
Could not load 'WIN87EM.DLL' required by 'IS20INST', error=2

I remember at that time, the installation worked just well. If I install the program with the current wine version, it goes fine, and if I try to start it, I get a very similar and frustrating error (the last one):

Code: Select all

err:menubuilder:WinMain unknown option -a
err:menubuilder:WinMain unknown option -r
ALSA lib seq_hw.c:457:(snd_seq_hw_open) open /dev/snd/seq failed: No such file or directory
Could not load Mozilla. HTML rendering will be disabled.
wine: configuration in '/home/mildred/.local/opt/wine/root' has been updated.
ALSA lib seq_hw.c:457:(snd_seq_hw_open) open /dev/snd/seq failed: No such file or directory
[b]Could not load 'KEYBOARD.DLL' required by 'SUPERLEX', error=2[/b]

Long ago, I heard that sometimes application refused to run because they couldn't find the dll file. I did touch $WINEPREFIX/drive_c/windows/keyboard.dll with no result

I suppose the problem may be caused because wine is not installed, and so can't find KEYBOARD.DLL or keyboard.drv.so (or some similar fine, I don't know).

Does anybody have an idea on how I could continue to work on this problem?

Thanks.

Mildred

You do not have access to /dev/snd/seq.

Code: Select all


su -
[enter root's password]
cd /dev/snd
ls -l seq

and report back what you get.

DO NOT RUN WINE AS ROOT TO GET AROUND THIS PROBLEM.

Good, that's exactly where I start, too. But didn't git bisect give you
an answer?

Wine compiles (even if I have to patch version 1.0 since freetype changed).
But when I try to install my application or run it using the built wine,
I got a problem.

Just to clarify: did you make an empty directory and then set your WINEPREFIX
to point to it? Was the directory /home/mildred/.local/opt/wine/root ? I'm
asking because I have no such directory in my ~/.local/.

By the way, did you run winecfg using the same WINEPREFIX before running setup.exe?

...
I suppose the problem may be caused because wine is not installed, and so
can't find KEYBOARD.DLL or keyboard.drv.so...

I'm sorry Mildred, I'm confused by 'wine is not installed'. Is that a typo?
Did you mean to say something else?

Something isn't right with your build. Please make sure you have all required development packages installed: http://wiki.winehq.org/Recommended_Packages

James,

I don't really care about the ALSA problem, and I don't even think it's a problem, last time I checked (that was long ago, agreed) sound worked. Anyway:

Code: Select all

cannot open `/dev/snd/seq' (No such file or directory)

(the file doesn't exist)

[quote=walt]Just to clarify: did you make an empty directory and then set your WINEPREFIX
to point to it? Was the directory /home/mildred/.local/opt/wine/root ? I'm
asking because I have no such directory in my ~/.local/.[/quote]

I use WINEPREFIX for just about anything. Every application has its own WINEPREFIX and there is nothing interesting for me in ~/.wine.

So yes, I created an empty directory ~/.local/opt/wine/root and set WINEPREFIX to point to it. In fact, my ~/.local directory is where I put anything, I have a ~/.local/bin that is added to my $PATH and a ~/.local/lib added to my $LD_LIBRARY_PATH, .... I also have ~/.local/opt that works like /opt (more or less i suppose)

[quote=walt]By the way, did you run winecfg using the same WINEPREFIX before running setup.exe?[/quote]

No, I did not. But doing it doesn't changes anything.

What I did was (with anything cleared in $WINEPREFIX):

Code: Select all

mildred@kylae:wine/wine-git$ ./wine winecfg (to use winecfg of the version of wine I built)
ALSA lib seq_hw.c:457:(snd_seq_hw_open) open /dev/snd/seq failed: No such file or directory
Could not load Mozilla. HTML rendering will be disabled.
wine: configuration in '/home/mildred/.local/opt/wine/root' has been updated.
ALSA lib seq_hw.c:457:(snd_seq_hw_open) open /dev/snd/seq failed: No such file or directory
mildred@kylae:wine/wine-git$ ./wine ../...../SETUP.EXE
ALSA lib seq_hw.c:457:(snd_seq_hw_open) open /dev/snd/seq failed: No such file or directory
Could not load 'WIN87EM.DLL' required by 'IS20INST', error=2

[quote=walt]I'm sorry Mildred, I'm confused by 'wine is not installed'. Is that a typo?

No, I was saying that I did a ./configure && make depend && make but I didn't do a make install. Perhaps the wine I just built (./wine) can't find its file because they are not in the standard locations (say /usr) but are still in the build directory.

But I can't really install wine over my existing installation (rpm from fedora). Can I ?

I didn't use the apt-get install command line that was on the wiki page for regression testing because I use Fedora, and I thought that if ./configure had finished, that was ok.

But ./configure --verbose I got:

Code: Select all

configure: libhal development files not found, no dynamic device support.
configure: lib(n)curses development files not found, curses won't be supported.
configure: libsane development files not found, scanners won't be supported.
configure: libgphoto2 development files not found, digital cameras won't be supported.
configure: libldap (OpenLDAP) development files not found, LDAP won't be supported.
configure: libcapi20 development files not found, ISDN won't be supported.
configure: libcups development files not found, CUPS won't be supported.

configure: WARNING: libxslt development files not found, xslt won't be supported.

configure: WARNING: OpenSSL development files not found, SSL won't be supported.

So I installed devel packages until all of these messages disappeared.

But that doesn't seem to solve anything :-/

I tried to use the --prefix option to install wine somewhere and make install, I got a strange error:

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/install -c  -m 644  `basename __install__/avifile.dll16` /home/mildred/.local/opt/wine/lib/wine/`basename __install__/avifile.dll16`
/usr/bin/install: omitting directory `avifile.dll16'

Then i remembered that some time ago, trying to run bisect, I had a problem because files ere replaced by directories (or the contrary). Producing a compilation error (can't create file)

I removed the directory avifile.dll16, checked out again the current version and compiled, and I got an error for the next directory. I suppose I'll just remove the entire dlls directory to clean it and rebuild it entirely. This should work I hope.

that was it

probably, keyboard.dll was a directory, and so it couldn't be found. What I wonder is why there was no error at build time ...

It seems I got it

Does reverting it help? Is this a 16-bit program?
