Hi Marteen,

Could you expand what exactly would not work? Does Wine place the DLLs at a particular address and if not specified with the prelink tool, then they will fail to work? It is my understanding that if the libraries are not prelinked, then the loading linker will pick its own address to load them at. That is the behavior I want to test. My target platform is refusing to map ntdll.dll.so and gives me the following error:

"Cannot load library: load_segments[928]: 290 failed to map segment from 'ntdll.dll.so' @ 0xfbe00000 (0x0007b07c). p_vaddr=0x7bc00000 p_offset=0x00000000"

I'm looking for a way around this and not p;roviding a base address may do it.

Roger

Prelink is only used to force dlls to certain addresses, not for anything else. Without prelink this would not work..
