[Qemu-devel] notes under wine under qemu with the help of pth

[Rafael Ávila de Espíndola]

I was trying to run lotus notes under wine under qemu. Unfortunately qemu 
appears to have some trouble with linuxthreads. For example, consider the 
following program
test.c:
#include <pthread.h>
#include <stdio.h>

void * f(void *oie) {
 printf("tata\n");
 pthread_exit(oie);
 return NULL;
}

int main() {
 pthread_t t;
        int i;
 pthread_create(&t,NULL,f,&i);
 printf("blit\n");
 pthread_join(t, NULL);
 return 0;
}

I can compile and run it natively:
$ gcc -Wall -o test -lpthread test.c
$ ./test
tata
blit

but qemu (i386 -> i386) fails:

$ qemu-i386 ./teste
qemu: Unsupported syscall: 258
Segmentation fault

My next attempt was to use pth (www.gnu.org/software/pth):

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/rafael/inst/pth/lib
gcc -Wall -o teste -I/home/rafael/inst/pth/include/ 
-L/home/rafael/inst/pth/lib/-lpthread test.c
$ ./test
blit
tata

$ qemu-i386 ./teste
blit
tata

Success with the test program. Wine is able to run putty and notes6 when 
compiled with linuxthreads. To compile wine with pth I had to create empty 
pthreadtypes.h and sigthread.h files in the pth include dir and apply the 
attached patch in wine.

When compiled with pth wine is able to run putty (even inside qemu!). 
Unfortunately it fails to run notes6:

Your wineserver binary was not upgraded correctly,
or you have an older one somewhere in your PATH.
Or maybe the wrong wineserver is still running?
wine client error:d: read: Bad file descriptor
wine client error:d: read: Bad file descriptor

There was no wineserver running when I started the program and only one was in 
the path. The log of a successful execution when linked with linuxthreads is:

I have followed the instructions present in

Thanks for any help
