Summary: 'fatal error in gc: collecting from unknown thread' with Mono Product: Wine Version: 1.3.7 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: sam@robots.org.uk
Created an attachment (id=31979) --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=31979) test case script
I'm trying to run Wix, a .NET application, on Wine. In order to do this I am using the mono-gtksharp installer from http://ftp.novell.com/pub/mono/archive/2.8/windows-installer/9/mono-2.8-gtksharp-2.12.10-win32-9.exe.
When building an installer, I get the following error:
fatal error in gc Collecting from unknown thread
Some digging around reveals that this message comes from Mono's use of the Boehm garbage collector. There is a bug open in their tracker that talks about the error https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=323578; they seem to consider it a bug in Wine.
I'll attach a shell script that reproduces this from scratch, almost automatically. You just have to download Wix3.msi and drop it in the same directory as test.sh.

--- Comment #1 from Sam Morris sam@robots.org.uk 2010-11-16 10:53:38 CST --- Whoops, forgot to describe the test script outcomes.
If the bug is reproduced, you will see a stack trace from Wix and get a 'fatal error in gc' MessageBox.
If the bug is not reproduced, you will see a grey dialog containing a button labelled 'argh'.

--- Comment #2 from Vincent Povirk madewokherd@gmail.com 2010-11-16 11:37:23 CST --- It's well-understood. If Mono's garbage collector is run from a thread that existed before Mono was loaded on windows (or wine), it will assert. This is impossible to fix on the Wine side.
Creating a test case that demonstrates the bug on Windows should be fairly simple, but it needs to use the embedding API.

--- Comment #3 from Dan Kegel dank@kegel.com 2011-01-27 22:48:55 CST --- Atmosphir, which comes with its own bundled unity3d player, which comes with its own bundled mono, also seems to exhibit this problem; I only saw it once in ten installs, I think right after the downloader started the launcher.

winetricks mono28 winetricks forcemono
shows this error.
