Mac OS X and Wine troubles

[Pierre d'Herbemont]

Hi,

First of all I have a good news :) : Wine is able to build on Mac OS X.

We decided not to follow WineHQ cvs version for early build, in order 
not to be so much disturbed by others wine development and not to 
produce bad patches, but don't worry ;) we are (of course!) planing to 
send patches, I hope they would be integrated...

I had never use Wine before so sorry for the basic questions.
I ran wineinstall, everything goes well until wineinstall attempts to 
launch regedit. Wine goes wrong, it tells me :

Warning: no valid DOS drive found, check your configuration file.
Warning: could not find wine config [Drive x] entry for current working 
directory /Users/steg/Documents/Programmation/wine; starting in windows 
directory.
/Users/steg/Documents/Programmation/wine/miscemu/wine: cannot find 
'./programs/regedit/regedit.exe.so'

For me the problem comes from somewhere in the reading of the file 
~/.wine/config, which exists and is parsed, but maybe I missed 
something in wine configuration (like a register file or something)? 
Could someone tell we wether I am wrong or not?

Secondly I manage to copy a windows folder to the root '/' of my disk, 
so I can launch an app with the command "wine notepad.exe". I added a 
basic Mach-O (Mac OS X binary file format) compatibility to libwine in 
order the file type to be recognized. But now I am getting error like:

wine: could not load 'C:\windows\regedit.exe': dlcompat: dyld: wine 
Undefined symbols:
_FormatMessageA
_RegCloseKey
_RegCreateKeyExA
_RegDeleteKeyA
_RegEnumKeyExA
_RegEnumValueA
_RegOpenKeyA
_RegQueryInfoKeyA
_RegSetValueExA

I suppose that the problem comes from the fact that the dlls are not 
loaded before the notepad.exe, assuming that the problem is still 
related with the ~/.wine/config reading. Do I suppose right?

If you have any idea of what could be wrong, or just a thought drop me 
a line, it could be very useful :)

Cheers,

Pierre

Does MacOSX sets $HOME and/or $PWD?

Also, from when's your base CVS version? Alexandre commited a patch of
mine related to exactly this a few days ago.

Actually, durin wineinstall, ~/.wine/config is not used. A temporary
config file is created instead.

You may have problems with this as Wine is not a CPU emulator, so it
won't know what to do with the binary code in notepad.exe.

Have you installed the Wine libs (dlls) so that wine (or the dynamic
linker) knows where to find them?

Yes it does...

We were using the version 20030219  of wine...
(see : http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/darwine/wine/)
You may have found what was wrong, thanks ;) I am going to send our 
modification to the wine cvs tree.

Yeah, but in this case notepad.exe has been built for PowerPC, so it 
shouldn't be a problem...

I let wineinstall do everything so I assume that they are installed 
(/usr/local/lib/wine)...

Thanks a lot,

Without seeing your changes it is going to be almost impossible for the 
people here to help you.
