Hi, I'm a maintainer of LMMS and we use a wine bridge for loading 32-bit and 64-bit VST plugins into the Linux version of our software. We've recently updated our build tools and noticed that some of our older 64-bit VSTs fail to load. After a lot of back and forth, we've isolated the issue to the following wine commit:
Commit 518e394 julliard committed on Sep 25, 2023 winebuild: Set ASLR-related dll flags by default.
https://github.com/wine-mirror/wine/commit/518e394794160818ffe6826c874ff2f55... One of our developers has proposed a patch which reverts this behavior here: https://github.com/Fastigium/winebuild/commit/7f9e27e44cfb8eba79f3850f46e12f... My questions are as follows: 1. Would winehq be receptive to a winebuild flag that allows the old behavior? 2. If acceptable, would you prefer LMMS author this patch, or is this change trivial enough/small enough that the winehq team would prefer to tackle it themselves? 3. Lastly, quoting a past mailing list convo, should we be doing our wine bridge differently? Currently we build RemovePluginVst64.so.exe. "[...] I don't think we have any plans to deliberately break the old all-in-one .dll.so binaries. It is quite likely that this functionality will bitrot over time though. Also the functionality that the PE/unix split was introduced for won't be available that way [...]" Source: https://list.winehq.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/wine-devel(a)winehq.org/mes...
