Bug ID: 57891
           Summary: Wine 10.2 can't find ntdll.so under linux.
           Product: Wine
           Version: 10.2
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: loader
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]
      Distribution: ---

Note: Not sure if this is a dupe of Bug 57874 or not given it's Linux and not a
Mac....

After building wine with a custom --prefix, (E.x. configure
--prefix=/opt/wine-git-build/wine_10.2), running wine from a home directory
fails to find ntdll.so.

:~$ wine explorer
wine: could not load ntdll.so: /opt/wine-git-build/wine_10.2/bin/ntdll.so:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
:~$

Running strace shows that no attempt is made to use the prefix's /lib directory
at all for ntdll.so. It goes straight to using the wine binary's install
directory, fails, then tries to read a wine symlink in the current working
directory, before giving up.

Given that it's blatantly ignoring FHS and using the wine binary's install
directory as a root, I assumed there was something wrong with the given prefix
argument. The generated Makefile has the exec_prefix variable emitted _before_
the prefix variable despite using it.

I.e.:
exec_prefix = ${prefix}
prefix = /opt/wine-git-build/wine_10.2

I assume this won't work. Notably bindir and libdir are defined afterwards, and
both use exec_prefix, which because I assume it's empty here, means they get a
value of "/bin" and "/lib" respectively.

I might be way off, but this bug occurs regardless of arch. I.e. Using a i686
or x86_64 build fails in the exact same way.

No, that works fine, there must be some other problem with your build. Please
attach your config.log and the strace output.

The source directory on my system was corrupted due to a drive failure during
the most recent git pull. Cloning a fresh copy and rebuilding from it fixed the
problem.

My apologies for the noise.
