Steam: compiled Wine ❌ – pre-built Wine ✔️

[KenSharp]

I'm looking at the bugs that affect Steam, but I've come across one I cannot get past at all:

The pre-built Wine binaries for Ubuntu 22.04 allow Steam to load the log-in screen.

But when I build Wine myself it doesn't get that far.

I've tried building in Ubuntu Bionic & Focal, Debian Stable & Testing and openSUSE Tumbleweed but the result is the same. I've also tried adding the patches from https://build.opensuse.org/package/show ... ctory/wine namely:
0001-Revert-loader-Build-the-preloader-as-PIE-on-64-bit.patch
0002-Revert-loader-Always-build-the-main-loader-as-PIE-if.patch
0003-Revert-loader-Force-building-the-main-loader-as-PIE-.patch
0004-Revert-loader-Make-the-loader-position-independent-o.patch

I've tried GCC's -O0 through -O3. I even tried building the MinGW part to see if it would make any difference.

Nothing I try can get Steam to the log-in screen UNLESS I use the pre-built binary.

So it seems logical that whatever is being done to build the binary must be the solution, but what is that? I tried finding a build log or... something but I couldn't find it. Of course I may have just been looking in the wrong place.

It's driving me mad!

How are the Wine packages built?

The log files are on the OpenSUSE Build server. (Some files require a login.) But I don't see any strange settings for configure or make

That's excellent, thank you!

I'll have another play around.

The only differences I can see in the build log to my setup is the kernel version.

However, I discovered quite by chance that a WOW64 build

Code: Select all

--with-mingw --enable-archs=x86_64,i386

does not suffer from this issue. The WOW64 build doesn't touch the i386 chroot so I suspect the issue lay there. Indeed, the Steam client is still 32-bit.

I've created an account but I cannot find where the logs are! HELP!!

UPDATE: Never mind, finally found the logs!
