** Description changed: The Wine package in Ubuntu 24.04 on arm64 is entirely broken (9.0~repack-4build3); wine hangs on startup. The arm64 Wine package in Ubuntu 22.04 (6.0.3~repack-1) did work correctly though, so this is a regression. The crashes are caused by the Debian/Ubuntu packaging. Upstream Wine errors out if you don't have Clang available while building it, while the Debian/Ubuntu packaging has edited away this configure check - see https://salsa.debian.org/wine- team/wine/-/blob/debian13-wine09/debian/patches/arm/gcc.patch. Editing away the check may have worked when it was first done (in https://salsa.debian.org/wine- team/wine/-/commit/2c3ae8a186f255958da213fe35510908d9ca50ca, for Wine 7.0), but for the current Wine versions, this no longer results in a functioning version of Wine. Thus, in order to restore functionality, the packaging can be tweaked like this: ``` diff --git a/debian/control.in b/debian/control.in index cbe264ca228..46ffe53d824 100644 --- a/debian/control.in +++ b/debian/control.in @@ -12,6 +12,9 @@ Standards-Version: 4.7.0 - Rules-Requires-Root: no - Build-Depends: - debhelper-compat (= 13), + Rules-Requires-Root: no + Build-Depends: + debhelper-compat (= 13), + clang [arm64], + lld [arm64], + llvm [arm64], - gcc-mingw-w64-i686 [i386], - gcc-mingw-w64-x86-64 [amd64], - libz-mingw-w64-dev, + gcc-mingw-w64-i686 [i386], + gcc-mingw-w64-x86-64 [amd64], + libz-mingw-w64-dev, diff --git a/debian/patches/arm/gcc.patch b/debian/patches/arm/gcc.patch deleted file mode 100644 index 7e1fbad836b..00000000000 --- a/debian/patches/arm/gcc.patch +++ /dev/null @@ -1,14 +0,0 @@ -description: build with gcc instead of clang on arm64 -author: Michael Gilbert <mgilb...@debian.org> - ---- a/configure.ac -+++ b/configure.ac -@@ -1047,7 +1047,7 @@ This is an error since --enable-archs=$w - LDFLAGS=$saved_LDFLAGS - done - - + - --if test $HOST_ARCH = aarch64 -+if test $HOST_ARCH = "" - then - test "x$PE_ARCHS" != x || AC_MSG_ERROR([PE cross-compilation is required f or ARM64, please install clang/llvm-dlltool/lld, or llvm-mingw.]) - DLLEXT="" diff --git a/debian/patches/series b/debian/patches/series index 2680f9f650b..d2e3f1f30f0 100644 --- a/debian/patches/series +++ b/debian/patches/series @@ -32,7 +32,6 @@ fixes/virtual-protect.patch - fixes/printer-resolution.patch - fixes/temporary-directory.patch - + fixes/printer-resolution.patch + fixes/temporary-directory.patch + -arm/gcc.patch - arm/binary-name.patch - arm/shift-overflow.patch - arm/format-strings.patch + arm/binary-name.patch + arm/shift-overflow.patch + arm/format-strings.patch diff --git a/debian/rules b/debian/rules index 1ee433c6065..69c37d2d972 100755 --- a/debian/rules +++ b/debian/rules @@ -69,10 +69,11 @@ ifeq ($(DEB_HOST_ARCH), armhf) - CONFLAGS+=--with-float-abi=hard --with-unwind=no - endif - + CONFLAGS+=--with-float-abi=hard --with-unwind=no + endif + -# the x18 register is reserved in windows on arm64, avoid clobbering it -# (see https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38780) - ifeq ($(DEB_HOST_ARCH), arm64) + ifeq ($(DEB_HOST_ARCH), arm64) -export DEB_CFLAGS_MAINT_APPEND+=-ffixed-x18 +# -fstack-clash-protection is not supported by Clang on arm64, and +# if removed from DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS, -fno-stack-clash-protection +# is passed instead. +export DEB_CFLAGS_MAINT_APPEND+=-Wno-unused-command-line-argument -Wno-error - endif - - # ignore arm-specific unused functions + endif + + # ignore arm-specific unused functions ``` Unfortunately, the build isn't entirely warning free, so in my testing above, I've just added a -Wno- option to disable a warning, and -Wno- error to avoid treating all warnings as errors.

Secondly, in Ubuntu 22.04, the arm64 and armhf versions of Wine (wine64 and wine32) could be coinstalled for a properly working wow64 setup of Wine (where the installation can handle both arm and aarch64 windows binaries).
