Re: [Qemu-devel] Re: WINE with QEMU on PPC

[Mark Guertin]

You probably have to specify the -L option when calling qemu to make 
sure it's pointed at the proper root for the x86 binaries.

In the past I setup a whole 'mini' distribution of x86 binaries into a 
folder on my drive (using quickpkg from my Gentoo x86 system for the 
needed components, and then untarring the pkgs into my x86 root 
folder).  I had more up to date versions of gcc/glibc/wine and all 
related libraries installed at that time.

I also setup things to run 'automagically' using the BINFMT_MISC kernel 
option and registering both wine and qemu.  I don't have the details 
any longer on exactly how I did this, but if this is the kind of 
functionality you are looking for I know it can work via this route 
with some patience and a lot of reading/experimenting.  Basically it 
ended up for me having double-clickable win32 applications (that 
automatically launched qemu + wine behind the scenes using 
binfmt_misc).  I actually played 3d pinball from the windows setup on 
my Quicksilver G4 733 running Gentoo PPC as a host.  Although it was 
_very_ slow, it worked.

Given the progress that qemu has made since that point in time (I did 
this when Jon Nall first posted the gcc 3.x patches -- almost a year 
ago), I would honestly suggest not using wine, but using a 'real' 
windows installation in a disk image, as you will likely have much 
better success if you're trying to run windows binaries.

Hope this helps.  Some info from this is referenced at :
