vitamin: At least in the case of the debian source package I'm pretty sure that I have all the build dependencies, since I have run apt-get build-dep wine before compiling Wine. However, I solved the problem by removing the line (commenting it out) Code: EXTRADLLFLAGS = -Wl,--image-base,0x7bc00000 from the file: dlls/ntdll/Makefile.in and removing (commenting out) the options -Wl, --image-base,0x7bc0000 from the line: Code: EXTRADLLFLAGS = -Wb,-F,KERNEL32.dll -Wl,--image-base,0x7b800000 in the file: dlls/kernel32/Makefile.in Afterwards I run ./configure && make depend && make again. Then the corresponding dll.so files were real ELF binaries and winecfg works as well as well as the game Zork Nemesis (at least it starts now). readelf -h dlls/ntdll/ntdll.dll.so reports now: ELF Header: Magic: 7f 45 4c 46 01 01 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 Class: ELF32 Data: 2's complement, little endian Version: 1 (current) OS/ABI: UNIX - System V ABI Version: 0 Type: DYN (Shared object file) Machine: Intel 80386 Version: 0x1 Entry point address: 0x1fae0 Start of program headers: 52 (bytes into file) Start of section headers: 2441904 (bytes into file) Flags: 0x0 Size of this header: 52 (bytes) Size of program headers: 32 (bytes) Number of program headers: 5 Size of section headers: 40 (bytes) Number of section headers: 38 Section header string table index: 35 I had the same problem when I tried to compile the stable version 1.0.1 from the debian source package. And the same solution applies there. I am happy that it works now but I don't understand why this linker option (--image-base 0x7b800000) I removed was there in the first place. It seems to prevent Wine from running after compilation on my machine. And without it Wine seems to run without problems. So does anybody know why it there? Yves
