[SOLVED] Wine can't find libxml2 on -current

schmatzler · 07-27-2012, 05:59 PM

Hey guys,

I'm trying to run Ford Racing 2 on Wine. Looks like I need Windows Media Player for it, but the setup of WMP does only work if Wine has been compiled with libxml2 support.

I have installed libxml2 and the -compat32 package, but configure is still unable to find it.

The logfile shows the following:

Code:

#define HAVE_LIBXML_SAX2_H 1
| /* end confdefs.h.  */
| #include <libxml/tree.h>
| 
| int
| main ()
| {
| if (sizeof ((xmlDocProperties)))
| 	    return 0;
|   ;
|   return 0;
| }
configure:9411: result: yes
configure:9426: error: libxml2 32-bit development files not found (or too old), XML won't be supported.

I don't know what I can do now. Result: yes looks like it has found libxml2, but it still throws out an error. Any ideas?

I just installed WMP10 in wine 1.5.5 (Eric's precompiled version) without issue using winetricks.

So go here to get wine for Slackware :- http://www.slackware.com/~alien/slackbuilds/wine/
Get winetricks here :- http://winetricks.org/winetricks (right click and save)

Say yes to download gecko on first run of winetricks

Select "Select the default wineprefix"
Select "Install a Windows DLL or component"
Select "wmp10 - Windows Media Player 10 (Microsoft, 2006) [downloadable]"

NB You need to click "OK" in winetricks double clicks don't seem to work and "cancel" should be read as "go back"

Yeah well, that doesn't work either because there are missing .so files on -current and it can't load the msxml3.dll

I still need to find a way to build msxml3.dll = telling configure that msxml3 is present.

Have you updated the multilib stuff yet?

You did mention your running it but I assumed you have it up to date.

schmatzler · 07-27-2012, 08:20 PM

Yes, everything is up-to-date

I tried downgrading to libxml2 2.7.8 but this also didn't work. Same results.

Running the original SlackBuild for Wine 1.5.5 results in the same behaviour. Normally I wouldn't care, but this game isn't running on my Windows Box and getting it to work with Wine would be an extreme advantage.

The only thing I can think of is your missing a package.

If you install Eric's wine package and then go to /usr/lib/wine and run ldd on the msxml3.dll.so you might see what lib is missing.

For reference it should give you this :-

Code:

        linux-gate.so.1 (0xffffe000)
        libxml2.so.2 => /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2 (0xf74c2000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0xf74bd000)
        libwine.so.1 => /usr/lib/libwine.so.1 (0xf737c000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0xf7350000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0xf71ce000)
        libz.so.1 => /lib/libz.so.1 (0xf71b8000)
        liblzma.so.5 => /lib/liblzma.so.5 (0xf7193000)
        libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0xf7179000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xf76eb000)

Packages for those libs

libxml2-compat32-2.8.0-x86_64
libxml2.so.2

glibc-2.15_multilib-x86_64
libdl.so.2
libm.so.6
libc.so.6
libpthread.so.0
ld-linux.so.2

wine-1.5.5-x86_64
libwine.so.1

zlib-compat32-1.2.6-x86_64
libz.so.1

aaa_elflibs-compat32-14.0-x86_64
liblzma.so.5

The pre-built wine from AlienBob says

Code:

err:module:load_builtin_dll failed to load .so lib for builtin L"msxml3.dll": liblzma.so.5

So this is it (at least for the precompiled version). liblzma.so.5 from aaa_elflibs is missing. But I have a note in slackpkgs blacklist file that aaa_elflibs can't be updated automatically. What should I do? Ignore the warning or simply copy the .so-file manually?

I thought, everything that's inside aaa_elflibs is also present in other packages so there is no need to upgrade it. Now I'm confused.

We ha da discussion very recently, that this advice in the blacklist file is useless and should be removed. The "aaa_elflibs" package can be updated by slackpkg without any danger. It is the first thing I remove from the blacklist usually.

Thank you! I will remember that. Looks like Wines configure script checks for liblzma and when it doesn't find it it just complains about libxml development headers missing. That's a "bit" misleading.

Compiling 1.5.9 now - maybe I can enjoy some good racing sessions today
