Registering wineasio.dll in prefix / success message but not available

[släcki]

hi, i am trying (again) to get rocksmith working on fedora 37. now i document it what i did, so others can also use this (and when i reinstall fedora i can use it too ).

i am trying to register the wineasio.dll in my wineprefix which is at /home/oli/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/221680/pfx. it says registered successfully, but its not listed in the libraries combobox.
i tried wine64 regsvr32 /usr/lib64/wine/x86_64-unix/wineasio.dll and regsvr32 /usr/lib/wine/i386-unix/wineasio.dll.
i compiled the wineasio.dll myself.

anyone an idea what i have to do that the dll is listed in that combobox and available in the prefix? the prefix is 64 bit, so i tried it with the 32 bit dll (with wine regsrv32) and also with 64 bit with wine64 regsrv32 ... but in both cases, it is not listed in the combobox.

The prefix is generated by proton 5.0, i will try this now with proton 7. So not sure if it is a proton problem or a wine problem. But i use winecfg to check the libraries.

edit:
tested with a proton 7 created pfx folder, same behaviour, no wineasio.dll in the winecfg library combobox :/

there is a testing application available, that tries to load the wineasio dll and show the interface (thats it, more or less). when i run this, i get:

should regsvr32 copy the .dll from /usr/lib/... into my prefix, so it is accessible? or do i have to do this manually?

[jkfloris]

Wineasio is not part of Wine, so I think you can get more help at https://github.com/wineasio/wineasio/issues

If I read issue 24, it may help to copy the dll files into the wineprefix.

[släcki]

So this is not a wine but a wineasio problem? Just curious why it says: registered successfully, but then is not in the prefix nor in the winecfg available

[jkfloris]

If I am right, regsvr32 ensures that the dll files are known by the registry. To also copy the dll files to the prefix, you can update the prefix with wineboot -u.

[släcki]

when running wineboot -u i get tons of errors and the wineasio.dll is not copied

0130:err:setupapi:create_dest_file failed to create L"C:\\windows\\system32\\xcopy.exe" (error=80)

wine: configuration in L"/home/oli/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/221680/pfx" has been updated.

when i manually copy the wineasio.dll into the system folder, the game starts but then it fails, so i assumed this is because maybe i registered the file incorrectly. can this be the case or is it more probable that the error is in the wineasio.dll implementation?

[jkfloris]

Did you also copy wineasio.dll.so and wineasio.dll to "$PROTON/lib/wine/i386-unix|windows/" and "$PROTON/lib64/wine/x86_64-unix|windows"? Otherwise, Proton can't find the files.

On theNizo's Github page there are several tutorials available to get wineasio working with Proton.

[släcki]

Yes i copied those files.
I know theNizos repo, and in the issue tracker i posted my problem too. And because there were open questions, i asked here

They are in:
/home/oli/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Proton 7.0/dist/lib/wine/i386-unix
148b212891ef9f78b4b94a4fce31879b wineasio.dll
b6a76e825320b610479a87901775743d wineasio.dll.so
[oli@DESKTOP-E83VF5L ~]$ cd $WINEPREFIX
[oli@DESKTOP-E83VF5L pfx]$ find . -name wineasio.dll
./drive_c/windows/system/wineasio.dll
./drive_c/windows/system32/wineasio.dll
[oli@DESKTOP-E83VF5L pfx]$ find . -name wineasio.dll.so
./drive_c/windows/system/wineasio.dll.so
./drive_c/windows/system32/wineasio.dll.so
[oli@DESKTOP-E83VF5L pfx]$ pwd
/home/oli/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/221680/pfx

i copied them to system and system32 as i have no idea whats the correct location of those, but it still does not work and i am not sure if this is a wine problem or a wineasio.dll problem. any idea how to figure that out?

[jkfloris]

i copied them to system and system32 as i have no idea whats the correct location of those

The 32-bit version should be in drive_c/windows/syswow64
The 64-bit version belongs in drive_c/windows/system32

[släcki]

Oh thats good to know
I fixed that and copied the 32 bit .dll/.so into syswow64 and the 64 bit to system32
again the same behaviour.

[släcki]

I was able to compile it, i had some messed up settings (e.g. parts of wine where installed from fedora, parts from winehq, etc.). Now it worked to compile!
