winex: undefined symbol

[therjak]

i installed winex without errors but winex -debugmsg +all any.exe tells me i got an undefined symbol CreateSemaphoreA in advapi32.dll (libadvapi32.so) and quits. (user32 needs gdi32 needs advapi32). i even tried using a native advapi32.dll having just a lot more trouble. using winex-cvs(3) i got the same error. i even tried an emerge -e winex (after i unmerged winex). any ideas?

(glibc 2.3.1, gcc 3.2.2, cflags: athlon-xp -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe)

I tried to emerge winex (source) but it fails.
error msg:

Hints? Bug perhaps? Misconfig?

your problem with errno is connectet wirth glibc 2.3.2 having it defined in an other way. you have to define it somehow for "older" builds. it's described somewher in these formums.

Hi there,
I get a whole bunch of undefined symbol errors with both the new winex snapshot and winex from CVS, including the CreateSemaphoreA one you mention and LoadAcceleratorsA and a few more too depending on what I try doing. If anyone has any ideas on this.......

Thanks

AFter setting the debugmsg correct I found out I have the same error running Sof2.

I have exactly the same error
I sought a solution on the forum of transgaming, but I did not find

Somebody already solved the problem?

[Hagar]

Nope, I've been working on it for a while even adjusting the source of winex but always that same error.
It seems to be a Gentoo only problem because I haven't been able to find anything similar online

A few thoughts..
Back a week or so, by luck, I managed to pull a version from cvs (3 pre 1) that worked fine for me....then I made the mistake of reemerging it....and now I get that advapi32 undef symbol error and/or ole32 NdrOleAllocate error. Unfortunately, in the process of upgrading, my gcc, glibc and other libs changed several times. Try merging combinations of old gcc 3.2.2 ebuilds and glibc-2.3.1. Hell, try the icc compiler and see if that makes the problem go away.

I had similar errors with the older snapshots of winex as well (20020329 and 20020219, which both worked for me way back) so I think the problem is with the linker <-->buildscript/makefile interaction somewhere and not winex itself.

Btw, if any of you try this and stumble on a combo that works, post your results :).

I finally found it
binutils-2.13.90.0.20 is the package that breaks winex
I know use 2.13.90.0.18 in combination with glibc-2.3.1-r4

I don't know if it works with glibc-2.3.2 but you'll figure that out by yourself

Sweet I'll have to try downgrading my binutils. Hopefully that won't break much.
