there's something wrong with wine through qemu.

removed the >/dev/null redirect here

updated to wine 8.0.2, same error message

[is-it-ayush]

Hi @Emilgardis! I ran into this exact problem and my problem output matched the one in this issue. After updating cross to main & trying cross run --target x86_64-pc-windows-gnu again. I got the following error wine: '/tmp/wine' is not owned by you.

It seems like the permissions aren't setup correctly on ghcr.io/cross-rs/x86_64-pc-windows-gnu image. I did some extra digging and ran docker run --platform linux/amd64 --rm -t -i ghcr.io/cross-rs/x86_64-pc-windows-gnu:main bash and then ls -all /tmp/wine. It gives,

drwxrwxrwx  2 root root    0 Dec  9 01:34 .wine-0
drwxrwxrwx  2 root root    0 Dec  9 01:34 home
drwxrwxrwx  4 root root 4096 Dec  9 01:34 wine

However, running cross run --target x86_64-pc-windows-gnu -vvv gives the folllowing string /usr/bin/docker run --userns host ... -e 'USER=ayush' -e ... --rm --user 1000:1000 ... (... = i've left out the env vars since they were long!). I feel it's trying to run cargo under my machine username but wine is owned by root. If this is the case any ideas on how I can go about working around it until it's fixed. Thank you for working on it.

[is-it-ayush]

Update! Turns out it wasn't really an image issue but an issue of how my docker files were stored. The docker daemon data-root directory wasn't owned by me. I replaced it with another location (ext4 partition new /docker folder) & restarted docker. The error does not occur now and I think I've resolved it. Thank you : )

[Emilgardis]

Ah perfect @is-it-ayush !

I suppose cross test doesnt work though?

[is-it-ayush]

I suppose cross test doesnt work though?

That's true @Emilgardis! It does not work since the target defaults to ghcr.io/cross-rs/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu & rust would not compile there since I used windows specific crates.

ps: Just wanted to thank you for this project. It helps a ton with cross compilation. Have an awesome day Emil!

[Emilgardis]

sorry, I should've specified, cross test --target x86_64-pc-windows-gnu shouldn't work under qemu emulation still because wine doesn't work correctly there

[is-it-ayush]

Just ran cross test --target x86_64-pc-widnows-gnu Emil! It doesn't crash and runs tests successfully but I do get strange output when running it. Here's an example!

are you on a aarch64/arm64 host? @is-it-ayush

I'm on amd64 (running debian 12) host @Emilgardis!

[Emilgardis]

I see, this issue is specifically for hosts where emulation would be used to run x86_64!

Makes sense!! I think it's more of a wine issue than a cross issue. 😅
