[Linux] AMVapp under WINE: Anyone tried this?

Rosie-chan · Post by **Rosie-chan** » Thu Aug 26, 2004 11:44 pm

Mostly for the sake of testing to see how well my new install of WINE (the Windows emulator) worked, I picked some EXEs out of my download folder and tried running them. I actualy did manage to get AMVapp installed, although I haven't tested the results very throughly yet. I couldn't run the AMV app tests because I haven't gotten Windows Media Player to run yet, although it ought to be possible.

Anyone else have experience with this? Oh, to have AVISynth and VirtualDub at my disposal...

(Then again, I need to figure out what's making Cinelerra consistantly crash first.)

I'm almost certain it wouldnt work.

AVS hasn't been successfully ported to Linux yet. Not all of the DirectX and VFW dependancies have been eliminated yet, although the Doom9 hackers are working on it.

Which is why it's being run under WINE.

I've actually never tried running the AMVapp under WINE, but it might be fun to try someday.

As far as constant Cinelerra crashes go: if you're using ALSA, try switching to OSS and using ALSA OSS emulation. Yes, OSS sucks, and Cinelerra supposedly has ALSA support, but it never worked for me even in the latest revision.

Bah, looks like I can't run WINE anyway:

linker wrote: ld: Relocatable linking with relocations from format elf32-i386 (convert.o) to format elf64-x86-64 (ddraw.dll-BLsY9k.spec.c.K59JFl.o) is not supported

Even telling the thing to operate in 32-bit compatibility mode doesn't work, which is a first. Ah well.

Probably doesn't help that only WinXP has 64-bit support and WINE doesn't support any NT-based stuff.

As for Cinelerra crashing, I have a standing bug report in the Bugzilla system (<a href="http://bugs.cinelerra.org/show_bug.cgi?id=112">bug 112</a>) about it. It doesn't help that I seem to be the only one with this problem and that I've semi-officaly stumped the coder who took up the assignment. It's preventing me from getting any work done.

On second thought, Trythil...I know you use Gentoo, but is there any way that you can get bimary packages on your system? I'm more or less sure that any system can be made to support RPMs and some foggy memory wants me to think that Debian's APT system can be ported to other distros as well. You might get WINE to work that way.

I've seen the problem outlined in the backtrace you posted before -- actually, in a program of my own design :) What glibc are you using, and are you using NPTL? I'm on glibc 2.3.4 w/o NPTL, and things seem to work fine.

I can, but I need to relink the libraries to the 32-bit versions, which are in a different location than the 64-bit versions, which implies recompilation. The 64-bit versions take the location of the 32-bit libraries, so any prebuilt binaries will have trouble.

I think. I've actually never tried to run prebuilt 32-bit binaries on my system before...might as well give a shot, though.

Translation: Wine can't emulate features unique to Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000 or Windows XP, where such features exist.

glibc 2.3.2.dsl16 (I dont have 2.3.4 in my current APT repository, would have to search). And what the heck is NPTL?

I'm also wondering, could the culprit be my sorry lack of swap space? (That's what I get for running a release candidate version of MEPIS Linux.)

NPTL = Native POSIX Threading Library. What's the dsl16 suffix?

I don't think the problem is related to swap space -- I guess you can try enlarging it if you want, but my old Athlon box had a low amount of swap relative to physical RAM and Cinelerra still ran fine.
