not just qemu-user, but telling it the magic numbers for binfmt to work
I'll give it a spin when I get home this evening. ENCARTA 97 SHALL RIDE AGAIN, maybe
sudo apt install qemu-user-static
sudo update-binfmts --install i386 /usr/bin/qemu-i386-static --magic '\x7fELF\x01\x01\x01\x03\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x03\x00\x03\x00\x01\x00\x00\x00' --mask '\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xfc\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xf8\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff'
sudo service binfmt-support start
And now we can do:
> fun@DESKTOP-7F6DU8P:~$ wine --version
> wine-3.0 (Ubuntu 3.0-1ubuntu1)
Encarta 97 doesn't install, though:
> fun@DESKTOP-7F6DU8P:/mnt/e$ wine SETUP.EXE
> wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0xffffffff at address 0x11df:0x00002c11 (thread 0011), starting debugger...
> 0011:err:seh:start_debugger Couldn't start debugger ("winedbg --auto 15 108") (2)
> Read the Wine Developers Guide on how to set up winedbg or another debugger
I'll leave that bit to someone who knows what they're doing.
and continues to fail in Wine 4.13 on Windows 10 with qemu doing the win32 bits
