Bug ID: 49122 Summary: Wine fails to run on MacOS Catalina Product: Wine Version: unspecified Hardware: x86 OS: Mac OS X Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: ntdll Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: stefan@codeweavers.com
Since commit 73211637c15b1dbd298364b5dd22161ce55f8145 Wine fails to run on MacOS Catalina (64 bit build of course):
stefan@grey wine2 % ~/build/wine2/wine winecfg 0024:err:environ:run_wineboot failed to start wineboot c00000e5 0024:err:winediag:nodrv_CreateWindow Application tried to create a window, but no driver could be loaded. 0024:err:winediag:nodrv_CreateWindow The explorer process failed to start.
A quick investigation suggests that the first process works normally, but processes spawned with CreateProcess fail to start. As such, explorer.exe does not start and the actual process can't find out which graphics driver to load.
If I first run explorer.exe /desktop and then start winecfg it starts up.
