Dear Jordan, James, and other Winers, More in the "get it running on a Mac" saga: * As you recall, the error I'm getting is: err:process:__wine_kernel_init boot event wait timed out * I tried the env WINEDEBUG=+all wine yourapp.exe command on two apps -- got (apparently) exactly the same results; (one app from the platinum section of AppDB) * The export DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/local/lib command didn't seem to help; * Background info: I did a MacPorts install with X11 already on the computer. After initial runs gave many errors, I installed XQuartz. This took lots of errors out. * The full debug gives a *huge* number of msgs. As pastebin.com is not running at the moment, a few of the msgs: 50770.467:002f:trace:virtual:VIRTUAL_DumpView 0x7b88a000 - 0x7b88afff c-rW- 50770.467:002f:trace:virtual:VIRTUAL_DumpView 0x7b88b000 - 0x7b9fffff c-rw- 50770.480:002f:trace:imports:import_dll --- DbgBreakPoint ntdll.dll.19 = 0x7bc65dc0 50770.481:002f:trace:imports:import_dll --- LdrAccessResource ntdll.dll.30 = 0x7bc56da0 They look healthy enough. Here's the code just before the error, which occurs near the top of the msg-dump: 50770.544:002f:trace:process:__wine_kernel_init starting process name=L"Z:\\Users\\horacemann\\colorpix.exe" argv[0]=L"Z:\\Users\\horacemann\\colorpix.exe" 50770.544:002f:trace:environ:RtlQueryEnvironmentVariable_U 0x0 L"PATH" 0xfeffeea0 50770.544:002f:trace:heap:RtlAllocateHeap (0x110000,70000062,000000fe): returning 0x116d78 50770.544:002f:trace:environ:RtlQueryEnvironmentVariable_U 0x0 L"PATH" 0xfeffeea0 50890.545:002f:err:process:__wine_kernel_init boot event wait timed out 50890.545:002f:trace:reg:RtlOpenCurrentUser (0x00020019, 0xfeffee90) ******************** After the err:process time out error, literally 7/8ths of the msgs come pouring out in one go, until it hangs here: 50893.424:002f:trace:module:GetModuleFileNameW L"Z:\\Users\\horacemann\\colorpix.exe" 50893.425:002f:trace:heap:RtlFreeHeap (0x110000,70000062,0x165c10): returning TRUE 50893.425:002f:trace:reg:NtOpenKey (0x1c,L"Software\\Wine\\AppDefaults",2000000,0x33e9dc) 50893.425:002f:trace:reg:NtOpenKey <- 0x0 50893.425:002f:trace:ntdll:RtlFindClearBitsAndSet (0x7bcab04c,1,0) 50893.425:002f:trace:ntdll:RtlFindClearBits (0x7bcab04c,1,0) 50893.425:002f:trace:ntdll:RtlAreBitsClear (0x7bcab04c,0,1) 50893.425:002f:trace:ntdll:RtlAreBitsClear (0x7bcab04c,1,1) 50893.425:002f:trace:ntdll:RtlSetBits (0x7bcab04c,1,1) The trace:RtlSetBits msg is the last... ****************** When I close the terminal window, it always says, are you sure, because I'll have to end these processes: login, bash, sh, wine Here are some warnings (there are many) 1) Found about 20 lines before the time out: 50770.541:002f:trace:file:wine_nt_to_unix_file_name L"\\windows" not found in /Users/horacemann/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows 50770.541:002f:warn:ntdll:FILE_CreateFile L"\\??\\C:\\windows" not found (c0000035) 50770.541:002f:trace:file:CreateDirectoryW L"C:\\windows\\system32" 50770.541:002f:warn:ntdll:FILE_CreateFile L"\\??\\C:\\windows\\system32" not found (c0000035) This is after the time out: 50890.553:002f:warn:module:alloc_module disabling no-exec because of L"colorpix.exe" And later: 50890.586:002f:warn:actctx:parse_assembly_identity_elem Unsupported yet language attribute (L"*") and 50890.635:002f:warn:ntdll:NtQueryAttributesFile L"\\??\\Z:\\Users\\horacemann\\user32.dll" not found (c0000034) and 50890.644:002f:warn:ntdll:NtQueryAttributesFile L"\\??\\Z:\\Users\\horacemann\\gdi32.dll" not found (c0000034) and 50890.655:002f:warn:ntdll:NtQueryAttributesFile L"\\??\\Z:\\Users\\horacemann\\advapi32.dll" not found (c0000034) (gaps between all of the above) Question: why is wine having trouble finding all these dll files? For eg, advapi32.dll is in opt/loca/lib/wine/fakedlls/... So -- I hope pastebin comes up soon, so I don't have to post this junk again... And -- I hope some of this triggers a brilliant and simple solution. Thanks! --Prahas Macbook OS X 10.6.8 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
