Description Peter Robinson 2025-01-20 14:12:26 UTC
It seems aarch64 builds were disabled with c8c81d23 (at least some part) or 33346baa but there's no tracking but for the architecture team to assist with resolving the error. It's generally considered bad form not to reach out and give the associated SIG time to resolve, or at least a heads up that it's going to happen.

Please re-enable or describe why the aarch64 builds are disabled so others can assist in resolving the issue, I looked at clang and couldn't see a bug there about PE requirements (maybe I have missed it) so please link any of the appropriate bugs as blockers to this.

Reproducible: Always

Wine 10.0-rc6 ARM64 build logs

There are most likely no users of the ARM binaries. There are not many Windows ARM binaries. I don't really know of any, do you?

Please feel free to troubleshoot the issue.

Reasons for disabling:

1. Clang does appear to compile again so that issue may not effect us.

2. The 'dlltool' binary cannot be found.

I will link and attach the logs of the latest scratch build.

There's quite a few these days. Complaints from the community is why I stated investigating and ultimately filed this bug. They're also used in some of the mesa test harnesses.

Yes, that information is already in the spec file but it doesn't tell me what bugs have been filed against which packages to try and resolve the issue.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 42 development cycle.
Changing version to 42.

If you want to run Windows x86-64 binaries on aarch64 system then FEX-Emu wants to go through host Wine:

Comment 6 Marcin Juszkiewicz 2025-11-14 12:14:28 UTC
Had to drop wine-gecko requirement (to build wine-gecko you need to install wine) and disable OpenCL cause on my system "ocl-icd" conflicted with "OpenCL-ICD-Loader" package.

$ winecfg 

wine: failed to start L"C:\\windows\\syswow64\\rundll32.exe": c0000135
wine: failed to start L"C:\\windows\\sysarm32\\rundll32.exe": c0000135

And it ran.

Winemine works. Not tried yet other apps.

Comment 7 Fedora Release Engineering 2026-05-06 12:04:45 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 42 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 42 on 2026-05-13.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
'version' of '42'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora Linux version. Note that the version field may be hidden.
Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see it.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora Linux 42 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version
prior to this bug being closed.
