DetailsDescription:
Wine can run DOS applications by delegating the execution to DosBox if it is installed. This used to work perfectly up to and including v5.10. With 5.11 and 5.12, whenever I try to run a DOS executable, Wine just crashes. I tried to reproduce the problem using both the official binary package from multilib and the following: * the official Wine 5.12 package for Fedora 32 (run on Fedora): the problem is NOT present; * building Wine 5.12 on my Arch system using the official PKGBUILD outside a clean chroot: the problem is NOT present; * building Wine 5.12 using the official PKGBUILD inside a clean Docker container running archlinux/base: the problem IS present. Which means it crashes only when using a package built in a clean Arch environment. The problem doesn't go away by simply using a clean WINEPREFIX. Steps to reproduce: * Grab any DOS MZ executable. For my tests, I have been using this FreeDOS utility: https://clasqm.github.io/freedos-repo/zip/beep.zip * Run Wine on the program, i.e. `wine BEEP.EXE` * It crashes and prints some trace information, instead of starting DosBox. |
