Bug ID: 54319
           Summary: wrc doesn't find locales.nls
           Product: Wine
           Version: 8.0-rc4
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: tools

When building 8.0rc4 in a i386 chroot I have an error :

tools/wrc/wrc -u -o dlls/aclui/aclui.res --nostdinc --po-dir=po 
   -Idlls/aclui -Iinclude -Iinclude/msvcrt -D_UCRT \
     -D__WINESRC__ dlls/aclui/aclui.rc
   Error: unable to load locale.nls
   make: *** [Makefile:1459: dlls/aclui/aclui.res] Error 2

If I launch the command with a --nls-dir=nls it works. It actually works with
*any* directory.

It seems that the 1st NULL is never replaced correctly in the line 145 of
tools/wrc/wrc.c.

const char *nlsdirs[3] = { NULL, NLSDIR, NULL };

When I replace it with ...

const char *nlsdirs[3] = { "whatever", NLSDIR, NULL };

... it does work. But only if wine is already installed, as there's a

-DNLSDIR=""/opt/wine-devel/share/wine/nls""

when compiling tools/wrc/wrc.c

So, I'm using

const char *nlsdirs[3] = { "nls", NLSDIR, NULL };

and it does work even without the wine package being installed.

My guess would be that you don't have /proc mounted in the chroot.

Oh, that's right.

It starts to make sense, as indeed as you rely on /proc/self/exe you cannot
find the current dir.

So obvious now in retrospect.

Closing as WONTFIX, as I get that one doens't want to support /proc less
chroots.

For this specific issue, adding a workaround would be easy. You may have other
problems without /proc though.
