Hi all,
I'm building a Docker Alpine linux image with wine, for
being able to
forge Windows executable from my laptop, without having to
dual boot.
With my disappointment, I'm not able to run 32bit executable
from the
container right now, so the easy way is running a win64
dmd.exe: someone
can point me to a pre-build executable, based on the latest
version?
Thanks
Umm, x86_64 is backwards compatible with x86.
So if 32bit build of dmd doesn't work, you have bigger
problems.
Well, frankly speaking I don't know!
PE32+ executable (console) x86-64, for MS Windows -> working
well
PE32 executable (console) Intel 80386, for MS Windows -> not
working at all
I tried also to use a WINEARCH=win32, without success: I'm
attaching the
Dockerfile at the end, if someone wants to help more on that.
In the meantime, any x86-64 DMD executable?
What's the problem in having it available by default in the
Windows
distribution?
Thanks

We need to see any errors produced from Wine.
It is known that dmd does run under it. Which means something
is wrong with your setup.
with WINEARCH=win64
/dmd2/windows/bin # wineconsole dmd.exe
err:winediag:nulldrv_CreateWindow Application tried to create a
window, but no driver could be loaded.
err:winediag:nulldrv_CreateWindow Make sure that your X server is
running and that $DISPLAY is set correctly.
wineconsole: Starting program "dmd.exe" failed.
The command is invalid.
with WINEARCH=win32
/dmd2/windows/bin # wineconsole dmd.exe
wine: '/root/.wine' is a 32-bit installation, it cannot support
64-bit applications.
As I said about x86_64 being backwards compatible with x86 (you
can even run old 386 programs on a modern day cpu, go figure)
so that isn't the problem.
Maybe the Alpine Linux package for Wine has only 64-bit support...
The reason why we do not provide a dmd compiled for 64bit is
simply, 32bit works in pretty much all cases. The cases it
doesn't involve very large code bases being compiled.
I understand, but what's exactly the problem in providing a 64bit
version of the executable?
Not providing it has just complicated my experience with D... :-)
I just had a look into Wine, I'm not sure if this helps[0].
Right now you're not creating a new Wine environment or
configuring it.
I think that the 'wineboot' command in the Dockerfile just do it:
I can run Win64 console application...
Otherwise, can you change over to a 32bit image instead of
64bit alpine?
That probably will also fix it.
Probably yes, maybe with an Ubuntu image as a base.
The point is that everyone in docker is switching to Alpine
distributions, as an alpine based image is far smaller that the
other options, and the official Docker image of Alpine is 64bit
only....
