SUSE 9.1 wine 0.9.12 problem

[ili...@gmail.com]

I upgraded my wine version from 0.9.5 to the newest 0.9.12
and I can't get wine to run.
when I start wine my system hangs,
an wine binary "wine-preloader" eats up all my reasources and just
hangs!
I used the official 9.1 binary rpm from sourcefordge.net
and a build from the wine source but the resoult is the same
wine-preloader just hangs.
The strangest thing is that when I start wine from a console I don't
get eny feedback information the console remains blank.
eny ideas what culd be causing this and a way arround it, or doesn't
wine run on this older suse distro?

Is this true for any program (i.e. winecfg)? Did you try starting with a
fresh ~/.wine? How long do you wait before you determine that
wine-preloader indeed hangs?
Do you build your own kernel and if yes, did you choose a non-default VM
split?

This problem happens with all of the wine binarys includeing winecfg
I am useing the original kernel that came with the distribution,
actuely exept for wine all of my software version is the one that came
with the official suse 9.1 distribution (it's the 5 cd proffesional
version).
OK how did I notice that wine-preloader hangs? After I run any wine
binary (I tryed all of them) noting happens, even if I start them thry
a terminal I get no feedback information in the terminal window, all I
can see in the terminal is a new line. When I start kde system guard I
noticed wine-preloader useing 80 to 90 % of the system resoarces, I
actualy let wine-preloader run for abaut an hour biffore my entire
system froze and I had to restart my pc (newer had to do that in linux
biffore)
I trued starting with a fresh ~/.wine folder, and this is where I
noticed something strange I gues wine-preloader creates the dos_devices
directory with all of the supporting files, but the drive_c directory
contains no files only folders e.g. it has the "Windows" and "Program
Files " folders with all other subfolders but without eny files.

For the most part, this is correct. The directory tree under ~/.wine is
created by wineprefixcreate (invoked automagically if needed), and the
only files under ~/.wine/drive_c are to be found in windows and
windows/system32.
At the moment, my best guess is that somehow several wine installations
got mixed up. Use yast to uninstall any wine packages, remove ~/.wine
and then run the following:
$ find / -iname '*wine*'
If it still finds any files, those might be leftovers from previous
installations.

Well I finaly found the problem and got wine up and running. The
problem was in the wine 0.9.12 patch file "wine-0.9.12.diff" included
in the suse source rpm
"wine-0.9.12-SuSELinux91.src.rpm" and I gues applied to the prebuild
binary
"wine-0.9.12-SuSELinux91.i586.rpm".
To get wine running I removed the lines from the diff file wich
modified the preloader binary, and now wine builds and runs, but a
question remains how good is this patch? I culdn't compile wine without
aplying the patch and obviosly there are some errors in it.

don't know if I shuld inform the suse maintainer mr. Marcus Meissner
about this?
only 190 downloads of wine for this suse version (9.1) and over 4600
for suse 10.
Tnx for the help

If I read you correctly, the maintainer included a patch which caused
wine to fail misteriously for you. I vote you tell the maintainer.

I wrote to the maintainer and I hope that this problem will be revised
and a new package will be placed on sourcefordge.net.

It might be of help if you post the original patch, and a diff of your
changes. Someone might be able to do something with it.

Can you please try taking out the preloader.c change only?
