Help compiling an older version of wine on 64 bit Fedora 14

[Giles]

I'm having problems running a windows program (nulldc 1.0.3 but that's not important) under the latest version of wine, which is up and running (in 32 bit) on my 64-bit install of Fedora 14. I'm trying to compile a version of wine 1.1.32 under a separate prefix. I'm doing this in a way that has worked for me in the past under a 32-bit environment. As I say, I've compiled the latest version of wine and it's behaving well; my problem is getting an older version up and running under a separate prefix.

I've got all the 32 bit dependencies installed as per the building wine on fedora 14 section of the wine wiki: http://wiki.winehq.org/WineOn64bit
I downloaded wine 1.1.32 from source.

First of all I used the following method to build and install wine 1.1.32 from source, as recommended by the wiki:

Code: Select all

$ ./configure --prefix "/home/mythtv/.nulldcwine" && make &&  make install
$ cd ~/.nulldcwine/bin
$ WINEPREFIX="/home/mythtv/.nulldcwine" ~/.nulldcwine/bin/winecfg

however, on executing the local version of winecfg, I get a segfault:

Code: Select all

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

In semi-desperation I tried manually creating a prefix with wineprefixcreate, but this also gave me a segfault

Code: Select all

$ sh wineprefixcreate --prefix /home/mythtv/.nulldcwine
Note: wineprefixcreate is deprecated and shouldn't be needed anymore.
      WINEPREFIX creation and updates now happen automatically when needed.

wineprefixcreate: line 134: 31497 Segmentation fault      (core dumped) "${WINELOADER:-$bindir/wine}" wineboot.exe

Going back to the drawing board I used a different build method, that had worked in the past in a 32-bit environment:

Code: Select all

$ CFLAGS=-fno-stack-protector ./configure --prefix="/home/mythtv/.nulldcwine" && make depend && make && make install

but on running a prefixed version of winecfg, I get a segfault again.
Needless to say, I get a segfault when trying to run a program with wine as well with both build methods:

Code: Select all

$ WINEPREFIX="/home/mythtv/.nulldcwine" ~/.nulldcwine/bin/wine ~/.nulldcwine/drive_c/"Program Files"/nulldc103/nullDC_1.0.3_nommu.exe
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

This method has worked flawlessly for me in the past in 32-bit Fedora - What am I doing wrong in 64-bit?

You have to patch the source with this patch: http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-pa ... 91490.html

The patch is needed if you want to compile and run successfully any Wine versions prior to 1.3.0 on Fedora 14.

Here's the corresponding Redhat bugzilla page: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=617968

Thankyou, that's fantastically helpful! I won't have a chance to test this for a couple of days, but i'll let you know how I get on

Well, it's got on a bit now, so I don't know if I should start a new thread. Anyway, I applied the patch but still seems to be running into problems.

This is what I've done:
After downloading version 1.1.0 from sourceforge I saved the following as "winepatch.diff":

Code: Select all

     }
     *stack = dst;

in wine source directory I typed:

Code: Select all

$ patch -p1 < winepatch.diff

and this seemed to patch the code okay.

I built wine in the usual way:

Code: Select all

./configure --prefix "/home/mythtv/.oldwine" && make depend && make &&  make install 

however this generated the following error during build.

Code: Select all

I tried to reinstall the relevant freetype directories, but this had no effect.

Code: Select all

$sudo yum reinstall freetype.i686 freetype-devel.i686 freetype-devel

I've sat on the problem for awhile I know, but I'm now once again in a position where I need an older version of wine!

Brilliant! that works! Thankyou for your help
