Wine source build on AIX/PowerPC failing

[Mahin Pandya]

Hello All,

We are trying to build Wine Source 6.0.1 on AIX 7 but it is failing in winebuild command. In Wine website it mentioned that Wine works on PowerPC. Does anyone have any idea?

Assembler version:
bash-5.0$ /usr/bin/as -v
as V7.1

bash-5.0$  tools/winebuild/winebuild -v -w --implib   -o dlls/ucrtbase/libucrtbase.a --export dlls/ucrtbase/ucrtbase.spec  dlls/ucrtbase/crt_gccmain.o dlls/ucrtbase/crt_main.o dlls/ucrtbase/crt_winmain.o  dlls/ucrtbase/crt_wmain.o dlls/ucrtbase/crt_wwinmain.o dlls/ucrtbase/mathf.o  dlls/ucrtbase/printf.o
/usr/bin/as -o ucrtbase.I7tD9N.o dlls/ucrtbase/libucrtbase.WYBdSA.s

Hello Mahin,

wine-6.0 officially removed PPC32 support, see the release notes
https://www.winehq.org/announce/6.0
"- Support for the obsolete 32-bit PowerPC architecture is removed. It
  had been broken for some time already."

PPC64 was never supported.
Afair there were talks about adding PPC64LE but that never materialized. André
might know how far that is.

Also, I don't remember that AIX was ever supported. So that would be an
additional effort.

bye

Thanks Michael for quick response.

Hello Andre, Is this https://github.com/AndreRH/wine your repo ? This gives me something to play around.

regards,
Mahin

I am not André, but yes, that is his git repo. The hangover branch contains a squashed commit for ppc64le support, but it is built on a slightly dated Wine tree. Rebasing this is not trivial.

Note that the hangover branch contains other stuff too (see https://github.com/AndreRH/hangover ) that may or may not be of interest for you

Hello,

Let's leave Hangover aside and just try to build this tag: https://github.com/AndreRH/wine/releases/tag/ppc64le-6.10

[Mahin Pandya]

Thanks André & Stefan. Tried using both repo but facing issue to build on AIX which is CPU type as POWERPC, got errors in "make" due to assembler "as" (which is native) in AIX, opcode is not recognized.

bash-5.0$ tools/winebuild/winebuild -v -w --implib -o dlls/ucrtbase/libucrtbase.a --export dlls/ucrtbase/ucrtbase.spec dlls/ucrtbase/crt_gccmain.o dlls/ucrtbase/crt_main.o dlls/ucrtbase/crt_winmain.o dlls/ucrtbase/crt_wmain.o dlls/ucrtbase/crt_wwinmain.o dlls/ucrtbase/mathf.o dlls/ucrtbase/printf.o
/usr/bin/as -o ucrtbase.I7tD9N.o dlls/ucrtbase/libucrtbase.WYBdSA.s
Assembler:
dlls/ucrtbase/libucrtbase.WYBdSA.s: line 1: 1252-016 The specified opcode or pseudo-op is not valid.
 Use supported instructions or pseudo-ops only.
dlls/ucrtbase/libucrtbase.WYBdSA.s: line 4: 1252-211 Invalid relocation type: function.
...

So looks like it need change in utils.c (many more files) or may be GNU assembler helps.

Content of " libucrtbase.WYBdSA.s":
.text
.align 2
 .type _Cbuild,@function
 .globl _Cbuild
 .hidden _Cbuild
_Cbuild:
 .long __wine$func$ucrtbase$1$_Cbuild
 .size _Cbuild, .-_Cbuild
 .section .note.GNU-stack,"",@progbits

[André Zwing]

Oh, in case it's really 32-Bit PPC, you should rather try Wine 5.0 or older.

Doesn't AIX use XCOFF instead of ELF?
