Hello.
I've done a lot of reading on this problem and don't understand why what I have
doesn't work.
http://wiki.freebsd.org/Wine
I have an entirely 32 bit jail, created by cross-compiling the world with
TARGET=i386 and creating a jail from DESTDIR.
The jail appears to be fully functional - all programs appear to work and
the compiler produces i386 binaries.
'uname' has been configured to identify itself as 'i386', so even compiling
programs from source works (autoconf correctly recognises the jail system
as i386, etc).
However, installing the wine port and attempting to do anything with it
results in:
$ wine hello.exe
Bus error: 10 (core dumped)
The program will immediately crash in all cases.
$ winecfg
Bus error: 10 (core dumped)
According to every bit of documentation I can find online, this should
work fine. Any idea what's gone wrong here?
Wine is an exceptional bit of software, in many ways.
One way it is exceptional is that it uses the system in a number of
ways that nothing else does. For example it sets various special
segment register settings and defines several different
segments on the LDT. This is something that is different to some
extent between i386 and amd64 and it is possible that
the code for 386 LDT syscalls under amd64 may not work correctly.
nothing else would test this.
