Compiling issues on macOS after 7.20 on ARM

[Jason Millard]

Hello.

I’m using parts of Wine (specifically the vbscript engine) while porting Visual Pinball to be cross platform.

I have been using the WIDL utility extensively and it has worked great.

I wanted to keep my patches up to date so I don’t fall behind, however I am having issues compiling wine after version 7.20.

This was my typical compile:

brew install llvm llvm-mingw
git clone -b wine-7.20 git://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git
git clone [e-mail]:vpinball/pinmame.git
cd wine
export MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET="10.14"
export LDFLAGS="-Wl,-rpath,/opt/X11/lib"
export PATH="$(brew --prefix llvm)/bin:$PATH"
export PATH="$(brew --prefix bison)/bin:$PATH"
./configure --without-freetype
make -j10
tools/widl/widl -o ../vpinmame_i.h --nostdinc -Ldlls/* -Iinclude -D__WINESRC__ -D_UCRT ../pinmame/src/win32com/VPinMAME.idl

Now with anything past 7.20 I’m getting:

configure: error: PE cross-compilation is required for ARM64, please install clang/llvm-dlltool/lld, or llvm-mingw.

Is there anyway to disable this?

Thanks
Jason

Hi,

I’m not sure why you would be getting that error, can you post your config.log? Testing on Ventura, I’m able to configure with just bison and llvm from homebrew:

export PATH=/opt/homebrew/opt/llvm/bin:/opt/homebrew/opt/bison/bin:/System/Cryptexes/App/usr/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin
./configure --without-freetype

Also I don’t see an ‘llvm-mingw’ formula, where is that installed from?

Hello. Thanks!

`llvm-mingw` was a typo from my notes. Sorry about that.

After examining paths, they looked the same, so I tried without the

export LDFLAGS="-Wl,-rpath,/opt/X11/lib"

and that worked and I can now make it through configure!

Now during the build, I get:

dlls/ntdll/unix/dwarf.h:915:45: warning: taking the absolute value of
unsigned type 'ULONG_PTR' (aka 'unsigned long') has no effect

        case DW_OP_abs:         stack[sp] = labs(stack[sp]); break;

Great, I just pushed an MR for that error: https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/2158

With that it should build, but otherwise ARM64 Wine completely does not work on macOS. But if you only need widl maybe that’s ok :)

Wow! That did the trick!!!

Thank you again so much!!
