Re: [Qemu-devel] qemu-i386 segfaults when running wine on a x86 CPU?

[James Supancic]

But, I am using a version of wine on Linux compiled for Linux? wine is a Linux program is it not?

I got the segfault when I ran 

qemu-i386 /usr/bin/wine

when I run file /usr/bin/wine I get
/usr/bin/wine: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1
(SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.4.1, dynamically linked (uses shared libs),
stripped.

I should be able to run 32-bit ELF executable compiled for Intel 80386 CPUs with qemu-i386, shouldn't I?

Note that, I didn't even try to run a Win32 executable with wine, I
just tried to run "wine", it should have printed its command line
options/help and exited without doing anything strange...

Thank you for your time,
James Supancic

Qemu's user mode emulation only works for Linux -> Linux at the moment,
i.e. programs compiled for Linux can be run on a Linux host. (The useful
part is of course that programs compiled for a different CPU
architecture than the host's can be run.)

However, encouraging progress has been made on qemu-darwin-user, which
will do what you want to do. See here:
